Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer - Pakistan and Israel Relation - Full Interview

[Lincoln]

Ok , tell me do you believe whats written in Holy Quran about jews or not ?

Am I suppose to take selectively chosen verses only, in the Holy Quran? The same Quran also speaks of them as the people of book and encourages respect.

You know better the reasons for Oman to surrender their honor and dignity to USA/Israel.b The monarchy there do not want to give away their royal status. The USA/Israel also have other motives. More or less same is case with other Arab nations as their leaders do not have roots in nation they treat their own nations like slaves as they do with foreign labor force.

Point is once they do, then what we do in regard to Israel or Palestine would have no significance. So time is short, and a lot at stake.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

The IRONY here is that the Palestinians themselves no longer give damn about the Palestinian cause. Also, the Israelis have calmed down a lot in recent years and are no longer oppressing the Palestinians. In fact both Jews and Palestinians are slowly integrating with one another with more mixed Jewish/Arab marriages happening. The Orthodox Jews in Israel are actually panicking because of this. The Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape is changing fast. We Pakistanis need to recognise this and accept Israel fast.

Respect? I don't think so .... even if i am forgetting , can you tell me which verse of Holy Qurans says something about respecting jews ? , Holy Quran Clearly says that jews will never be our well wishers and they are Dajjal' companions and that's the end of the story for me , i'll stick with that , you can say whatever comes in your mind ...

Sir perhaps you have not observed recent attacks on Ghaza by Israelis. If mix marriages include few rich Palestinians then it is right may be Yasir Arfat was the main trend setter. Such marriages do happen seldom in occupied areas as few do happen in case occupied Kashmir and even during British era this does not mean that as nations the animosity between Israel and Palestine is finished. One of Pakistani ex-bureaucrat's daughter got married with a jew in USA. This does not mean whole Pakistani nation is getting married to Jews.

I can't give you an answer because I don't have profound knowledge on religion but what I do know is that Islam encourages respect among people of book.

 

[Pakistansdefender]

When I see people here claiming that they have no problem developing relationship with isreal, I wonder which planet they come from certainly not Pakistan..
Pakistanis 99 percent consider isreal some deepest dark power. They are not even ready to mouth the world isreal rather then accept them.
No government in the country can do that..
Even military dictators stumble here.

Yes we could benefit a lot, we could be viewed as more progressive, it could be easy for us at the institutions where they have much clout, they can help us with water conservation, and we can make them neutral in india Pakistan feud. They have to stop the activities they do, specially supporting some forign insurgents..etc etc..
But there is no crying over split milk..
This cannot happen in this half of a century..

You don't have knowledge about religion thats why it is easy for you to say that Pakistan and israel should have better relations , no offence btw ...

 

[Vapnope]

The answer lies in what have we achieved by boycotting Israel for all these decades?
Like or not, Two states solution can only be achieved if all of the concerned countries come to the table to talk with Israel. 6 arab states have tried the military solution and we all know what was the outcome.

..... Inna Yajuja Wamajuj mufsidoon fil arz... Surah Kahaf:94.

 

[jupiter2007]

He is very well spoken and lie or no lie, I think Pakistan and Israel need to have relations nothing wrong in it only gain.

Regardless of how hard liberals try it, It ain’t gonna happened, at least not during current government.

 

[CodeforFood]

Thats what i have been trying to tell these nut jobs ...

Having diplomatic relations does not mean someone become a friend. Pakistan has diplomatic relations with India, Afghanistan, Iran and Bangladesh. None of them have been very friendly with lately, but it gives us the opportunity to communicate and talk on formal terms with them. You can choose to still remain enemy but people to people trade can happen even corp to corp...

 

[Lincoln]

You don't have knowledge about religion thats why it is easy for you to say that Pakistan and israel should have better relations , no offence btw ...

And you do? You went from politics to playing religion card when the argument was defeated.

Absolutely wrong.

1. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by the Israelis recently, and to this day, as Palestinians protest at their occupation.
2. Israel has annexed the Golan heights and have stated their intention to annex the West Bank.
3. Integrating? Arabs are banned from settlements.
4. Yes the Middle Eastern geopolitical situation is changing fast. Israel's chief slave, the US. is busy destroying the Arab world.

That's because the vast majority of Pakistanis have been affected by retarded low IQ Anti-Pakistani Mullah logic. We badly need to REVERSE this situation. Then and only then can we progress. The most hilarious part is that these same Pakistanis will commit the biggest sins in Islam for their whole lives but will all of a sudden become religious once you mention Israel and the Palestinians........The irony....

Absolutely wrong.

1. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by the Israelis recently, and to this day, as Palestinians protest at their occupation.
2. Israel ahs annexed the Golan heightsn and have stated their intention to annex the West Bank.
3. Integrating? Arabs are banned from settlements.
4. Yes the Middle Eastern geopolitical situation is changing fast. Israel's chief slave, the US. is busy destroying the Arab world.

Understood. But do the Arabs/Palestinians share the above sentiments with regards to Pakistanis/Kashmiris? Do Arabs/Palestinians accept us Pakistanis as equals to them? The gulfi Arabs certainly don't. So why should we care about what happens to the Arabs?

 

[S Hussain]

People always bring Mullahs into everything. Have you seen the scum the Iranian government faces from the Zionists and pagan loving dissidents who hate everything about Islam and Muslims. These Iranian dissidents have their headquarters based in Israel
