As discussed, Pakistanis don't need to invoke the Jews' religion to accept Israel as legitimate: the Jews returned under explicit invitation in the League of Nations Palestine Mandate, buying lands from Arabs and settling state land.
The Arab land purchase bit is an interesting story not well covered by anti-Zionists. It's something of an embarrassment, I suppose. Jews had to pay something like forty times the price an Arab would be charged for the same plot of land. These transactions appear to have been a kind of mafia operation, as some of the brokers were relatives of the fanatical anti-Zionist Mufti of Jerusalem - Yassir Arafat's uncle - who booked immense profits. The Arabs were told they could kick the Jews out from the same land they had sold the Jews after the British left. Their failure to do so, to complete their evil scheme of extortion and murder, is the heart of Arab frustration today.
There was no time limit to the Palestine Mandate.
Could that be what the Qu'ran meant?
I noticed. Yet Pakistan's strategy has been to find some way to appeal to militant extremists, to push them into the service of the needs of the State, or mollify them somehow. It seems very un-Pakistani to flat-out oppose their desires, yes?
"Using Islam as a basis for preventing Arabs from recognizing any sovereign right of Jews over the Land of Israel is new. Such beliefs are not found in classical Islamic sources. Concluding that anti-Zionism is the logical outgrowth of Islamic faith is wrong. This conclusion represents the false transformation of Islam from a religion into a secularized ideology." - Shaykh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi
