Basically, what you Pakistanis are experiencing is the creation of a modern-day blood libel against the Jews. Can't you feel the hatred for Jews and Israelis grow and swell in your veins? What do the facts matter? The flotilla was never about aid.
This has nothing to do with the jews, and everything to do with Israel. Israel is a murderous, terrorist state. If it were not for America propping up Israel, it would have met its end by now. Unnatural alliances can extend the inevitable, but cannot prevent history from taking its natural course. The founders of Israel were terrorists by any definition of the word and they snatched lands from the Palestinians. This original sin was then defended by a thousand other sins. There will be pay day, one day. And bringing in the cries of "ooo you anti semite", "oooo you jew hater" is not necessary. You know as well as I do that a large number of jews condemn Israeli actions. We fully agree with them and do not consider this to be a religious issue. It is an issue, pure and simple, of state terrorism. We want the biggest perpetrator of state terror over the last 60 years to be brought to justice.
The jews had to wait a long time for all their Nazi tormentors to ultimately be found and brought to justice. We are willing to wait as long as our jewish brothers did, to watch the terrorist Israelis be brought to justice.
Question is, do you Pakistanis have the strength, individually and collectively, to publicly condemn the Palestinian Arab leadership which crafted the incident, or will you add to the incitement of religious-based race-hatred? If you do it's a no-brainer that more Ahmedi deaths are a certainty. (Why seek out infidels abroad when there are ones near-by at home?)
Yes, let's change the subject and throw in Ahmedis, and other unconnected issues so that we can spread the blame wide and prevent Israel from remaining in the bullseye over this incident, where it bloody well belongs.
Israel has no damn right to prevent aid from reaching Palestine. The world is unified in this view, and the UN via resolutions has instructed Israel to undo the illegal blockade of Gaza. If you believe in international law, then you must also believe in Israel's violation of it. And if you throw international law out the window over your love of Israel (is that too "religiously motivated" as you accuse our opposition of Israel to be?) today, then please be prepared to see Israel suffer the consequences of the evil it has wrought upon millions of innocents without the protections and civilities enshrined in international law. It is Israel which is creating a blood feud that will end in a very very bad way. What will happen in future is of Israel's own design and making. Israel is its own worst enemy.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Absolutely, which is why it sickens me to see an educated man such as yourself defend terrorists and cold blooded Israeli killers.
I assure you that you aren't the first Pakistanis to think that if they keep their thoughts to themselves and just work hard to make Pakistan's people less poor, etc., that things will get better. I've seen that sort of thinking from Pakistanis before, decades ago. It is no solution at all.
Actually, Pakistan has gotten less poor (please refer to GNP stats) and more educated in the last 60 some years. I think we'll do fine on our own, but we appreciate your concern. If the America of today can emerge from a state where, 60-70 years after its independence it faced a fractious civil war which ended up in the slaughter of millions of Americans, then I think 60 years after our independence the Taliban etc. are small fry issues for us. We're following in your footsteps, it's just that we're doing a lot better than you were 60 years after your independence.
