Karachi used to be a relatively peaceful city back then. What happened now? I hear nothing but bad news. I made several friends in Karachi and Islamabad during my visits. But we lost contact over the years but the memory lingers on. I miss alu keema, nan and biryani (hot)!

Anti-Semitism in Pakistan—hate on a sliding scale | World | Jewish Journal

Right in the middle of Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, stands one of the most recognized symbols of Judaism: the Star of David. It adorns, in relief, Merewether Tower, one of the city's best-known landmarks, a 112-foot-tall clock tower built by Sir Evans James in 1892. Today, a busy transit intersection has developed around the tower, which hundreds of thousands of Muslims pass each day Complete coverage of Mumbai Chabad attackon their way to work.

Nadeem Ahmed, a broker at the Karachi Stock Exchange located just across the street, points to some old graffiti at the base of the tower that reads "Israel na manzoor" (Israel is not acceptable).

"These marks show the anger of some fanatics for the brutality of Israelis against the Muslims of Palestine and Lebanon," he says.

Why can't Pakistan destroy this building?

the star of david is not only star of david but it has been used for decorative purpose, it has been used in mosques, many mini bus decorations in karachi have this star doesnt really mean the decoration was made by a jewish guy
