Pakistan was founded on muslim ideology.
Recognizing Israel means we would be giving up Kashmir issue altogether, we have fought 3 wars on this, countless skirmishes.
On 27th Feb, 2019 when PAF downed Indian Mig-21 and SU-30, there was chatter that Israel was directly assisting IAF in carrying out air missions.
In 1980s, Israel planned to attack Pakistan nuclear installations.
Problem is Pakistanis are very lenient and reactive, we realise when the water is overflown. Turkey has different way dealing things, different ball-game.
It surely does.
Pakistan’s whole argument on Kashmir is from a religious stand point. But if we recognize Israel, we can’t claim Kashmir as it’s hypocritical. If we lose the religious aspect, india is in the better position on Kashmir because the Dogra maharaja acceded all of J&K to india. Our claim is that the Dogra maharaja could not join india since majority of Jammu and Kashmir was Muslims and the Muslim area was to be part of Pakistan also, a non Muslim occupier maharaja cannot decide for the Muslim majority.
Recognizing Israel destroys the religious reason we have to lay claim on Kashmir. How can we accept an occupier kaffir occupy Muslim lands with Muslim majority and allow that? Kashmir and Palestine suffer identical occupation so supporting one and rejecting the other destroys our claim to Kashmir.
We only claim Kashmir to be our sovereign territory due to religious grounds. Our existence is due to religious grounds. Our majority population is practicing religious conservative Muslims. Our founding father rejected Israel when he was offered money to accept them and famously said “our souls are not for sale”.
Secularists need to understand unlike Arabs we are many ethnicities making up Pakistan. In Pakistan there’s no such thing as Pakistan to majority of Pakistanis. It’s just Islamic brotherhood. The only reason majority of Pakistanis are part of Pakistan and stand behind Pakistan is due to Islam. The recent Sindhi vs Pashtun violence should have been an eye opener to the secularists.
In Pakistan it’s Islam first, then ethnicity, then caste/tribe. “Pakistan” doesn’t fit into it anywhere. When you remove the Islam part you get ethnic wars all over the country.
Islam is the glue which keeps Pakistan one.
Palestine is primarily an Arab issue. Historically, Palestine and Kashmir were linked as Arabs wanted Pakistan to support them on Palestine in return they supported us on Kashmir.
Even then India kept supporting Palestine to keep some Islamic nations away from supporting us on Kashmir.
Now things have changed. Palestine is no longer a prority for the Arabs. So Palestine and Kashmir issues have been delinked.
Arab states may recognize Israel and may not be obligated to support us on Kashmir but that does not mean we will give up Kashmir.
China will always with Pakistan on Kashmir as they also have a border dispute with India.
