Pakistan and Israel

[peshaweri]

Despite public rhetoric, both countries share a common historical legacy and contours of state-building as both were primarily conceived as a homeland for religious-national minorities Israel for the Jews and Pakistan for the Muslims of the British India. While secular leadership led their nationalist struggle, before long religious elements gradually found it prudent to be part of the state that they vehemently opposed in the beginning. At regular intervals, Pakistani politicians have accused their political opponents of being Israeli or Zionist agents and anti-Israeli rhetoric has been an integral part of many election campaigns in Pakistan.
The death of Yasser Arafat and the lessening of Israeli-Palestinian violence offer an opportunity for Pakistan to revisit its wrong plocies and develop some sort of working relation ship with Israel.
