Btw, you need to understand there are two bases in Palestine, one led by Hamas and one led by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. The Hamas led base supports military resistance and is opposed to the PA's security cooperation with Israel, among other things. The PA led base is traditional style gov't which cooperate with Israel, US, EU, and Arab gov'ts. Hamas led one has no relations with Israel, US, EU, or most Arab gov'ts. Most of you guys on this forum take your perspective on Palestine from the PA led base and you guys really think we consider this Mahmoud Abbas guy to be our 'President'. Almost all of us despise him and his PA led gov't got voted out of power in 2006 when they lost elections to Hamas.
Hamas was supposed to lead the Palestinian gov't then and have their guy be the President, but US, Israel, EU , PA and some Arab gov'ts rejected the results of the election and didn't allow for a transition of power. So instead of ruling both West Bank and Gaza, Hamas got stuck in Gaza and Israel implemented a blockade on it ever since the elections. You should follow Hamas's positions and not the PA since it is an illegitimate gov't. It refused to allow any other Palestinian parties a role in the gov't and that's why Hamas made its own gov't in Gaza. You should follow Shehab News Agency on Facebook for the other angle of the Palestinian base. Since I can tell that you guys here take our 'President' more seriously than we do.

Our 'President's' term ended 12 years ago. But, his gov't and international community refused to allow Hamas officials to assume power in the gov't after they won elections. Nothing can be done about that as the Israeli military is the only military power in the West Bank and PA security forces cooperates with them to arrest Hamas activists and officials.
Hamas does not official ties with India or Pakistan, but they did speak about Pakistan on numerous occasions:
1.) To congratulate Pakistan PM:
2.) Speaking of Pakistani poet 'Iqbal':
Hamas spokesperson remembers Iqbal’s raising awareness about Palestine and shaking the Muslim world conscience - Anadolu Ajansı

3.) Condolences to leader of Islamic movement in Pakistan:

Pakistan has no ties with Hamas though, Pakistan has diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority(led by Abbas).
Mate enough is enough, stop being so soft.
This maggot recalled his Ambassador to Pakistan to please India. They even opposed Kosovo's independence to please their "friend" Serbia. There is no hope for the Arab world. They can't tell friends from enemies. These are the same people who allied with the British to bring down the Ottomans.
Ironically, Pakistan has ties with the Palestinian Authority rather than Hamas. And the Palestinian President intention was to thank India for voting in favor of a UN resolution on Palestinian statehood. Pakistan position on Palestine makes sense considering their position on Kashmir and wish to be consistent on those issues. But, more importantly Pakistani people as of now are not in favor of relations with Israel.
So it is politics in this world of politics, but don't use that for blanket statement against Arabs or to bring up Ottomans like they were God sent people. You have unrealistic view of Turks/Iranians as God-like peoples and refuse to call them out on anything but anything small with Arabs and there is huge fuss. Turkey and Iran can have ties with India though.
Anyhow, I'm very advent follower of current events but doesn't mean I let them influence my ideology or allegiance to the Lord. Pakistani's and all good Muslims are my brothers and sisters and those of that know that we seek a better Muslim world know to have patience for that and our hearts are connected , and politics is not going to stunt that drive for me. And I'm sure for others.
