Israel tests new missile with range beyond Iran, aimed at striking Pakistan

[fitpOsitive]

From the article:

"Thus, assuming that Israel will never use the nuclear weapons that most of the world believes it has (such a use would also mean the country's demise), it is clear that the Jericho missiles' sole purpose is deterrence – above all against Iran but also against Pakistan, located around 4,000 kilometers away, which is the exact range of Jericho. Not that Israel leaders think in such terms. Pakistan's main enemy is India. But in Israel's eyes, Pakistan is the only country that has an "Islamic bomb."

In the past, Israel was very worried about Pakistan. Libya, under Muammar Gadhafi, gave millions of dollars to help Pakistan build the bomb. Pakistan ignored the request. Yet Dr. Abdul Khader Khan, the “father of the Pakistani bomb,” was also the number one nuclear proliferator who helped Libya and Iran obtain nuclear know-how and technology. The concern about Pakistan remains at the heart of the Israel-India strategic partnership, which includes military intelligence. It was also reported in the past that the Mossad was monitoring Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities. It is only reasonable that after Iran, Pakistan’s capabilities are of a high priority in Israeli security considerations."

Threat is not new, however, it's declaration at these times is dangerous.

Nothing to worry, we have all angels covered

Pakistan is Doomed, we were suppose to hibernate to recover financially.. guess the enemies would not let us..

More reasons to initiate ties with Israel. Both the countries have nothing against each other and should develop diplomatic ties to avoid any mishap. ISI and Mossad has cooperated in the past and we still continue to do so indirectly through CIA, but this needs to be built into a better relationship which can counter India-Israel strategic partnership.

Intel cooperation does not verify nor weighs an argument to have strategical & diplomatic ties. Pakistan's approach towards Israel is linked with Palestine so what other does or have relations, aren't our concern but our fundamental stance. Having said that intel cooperation; Pakistan India also cooperates so does it lowers the hostility from cross the border? No it isn't and that is not the fact to support such arguments. Intel Cooperation in few areas or some occasions are different than the Country's diplomatic & Strategical approach. They are testing such missiles aimed at us or even try to attack our N facility back in 90s yet you want Pakistan to be scared or afraid, be in panic and compromise our basic stance. Sorry if it was harsh but I had to reply in this manner.

They have Jericho-2 ICBM nothing new
@The Eagle @waz please close this thread

But Arabs are now recognising Israel and UAE recently started to do military training with them. The only reason we have an issue with Israel is because of Palestinians, but if the neighbour Arab nations don’t care about them why are we in the line of fire?

Wow and we on the other hand are stuck with 2750km

Enemies are removing their masks fully now as the traitors within are being eradicated.

Where are the 'pro Israel relations' rats now? Hiding in your holes?

The funny thing is Israel has a history of animosity towards Pakistan. They tried to destroy our nuclear reactors in the 80's as well as before the tests in the late 90's. Their PM Ben Gurion talked against Pakistan openly in the 60's.

Only people with selective memory and selective morality want ties with the Israeli state in it's current mentality.

HUGE!!


Perhaps the first time, the cat is officially out of the bag.


Those who are still in denial mode, at the bear minimum, in terms of national security, nations prepare for the capabilities in their region and area of interests, not the intentions. There you have it, a declared capability against you, regardless of intentions.

About time we start to make serious strides towards ABM both on eastern and western fronts.

We needed to have a 5K range missile for a long time as what happens if India parks their naval assets away from the main land since India have got a triad so we need to look after our own interests too. It automatically covers small dickheads like Israel on the way too and still our missiles are India specific.

While having diplomatic relations with Israel I got no problem with that once Palestinian state is created and their legitimate rights are addressed and we are not the enemies of Israel, however Israel itself is by supplying weapons to our enemy India. While Arabs can enjoy the white women of the world as a leisure and pleasure and Thai rent boys to go with that and when it comes to the battle field show their arses we are not joining them in the race to love Israel.

We are Muslims first and Arabs love comes a bit down on our list and as our third holiest shrine is still under the occupation diplomatic relations will never happens between the two countries. I don't need visa or papers to show to visit my own mosque and it will never going to acceptable for us regardless wherever we live. Israel existence is thanks to US and legitimacy of existence came through UN when few Muslim states existed or were the members of the UN at that time and too weak to voice their concerns. So Israel owes the courtesy to UN to follow the UN resolutions and ends the brutal child killing occupation of the natives and let native kids to go to school on free roads instead of checking their school bags.

Not sure who the idiot is, but 4000 km missile fired from Israel will fly right over Pakistan and straight into India.

 

[Kingslayerr]

What i see is we should have good ties with israel only to counter india and to keep the Palestine issue in check. A one less enemy is always better, still know that israel will help india in case of any war but with our relationship being good they'll think a 100times before targeting us. Cheers!!

The "Arabs" also don't have a problem with India. KSA & UAE only come to Pakistan to back out or calm down as they have very huge amounts of investment and businesses with India. So will you be letting go of Kashmir now for the sake of your Arab friends????? The Arabs have always been a P**** and coward especially since they found oil.
