Why Bangladesh Should, Belatedly, Recognize Israel

[Doctor Strange]

Its good Muslim origin people expressing their unbiased opinion about this issue. BD got good number of jihadis in London and NY. BD mostly taken care of its home grown ones. And oversees threats largely diminished due to Syria and Covid 19. If BD doesnt have good relation with these Jihadis' overlords such as USA, Israel and India. These Jihadis will come back to roast BD. Its a double game. And BD corrupts will keep looting BD in name of imaginary enemy such as Israel and Pakistan. Also BD's enemy Hindus will keep collaborating with Israel and Israrel sympathisers to malign BD.

Here's an unpopular opinion. I am saying this with full respect and love for the Palestinians but also as a citizen of an LDC.

Bangladesh could technically recognize Israel and maintain very limited interaction. Probably buy some good defense equipment and learn/benefit from the world-class scientific research Israel does, especially in the domain of agriculture and cyber security. Regardless of who and where, we as a nation can always benefit from science and security. I am seeing it completely from an beneficial angle.

There will be some shouting from the Middle East and other few muslim nations that do not recognize them, but that's about it.

But, here's the deal - this wont happen. It is because we as a nation are still very emotional and have an extremely strong religious base, which will not allow our government to do it. There will be riots and our government wont be able to handle it. Plus, we need to be able to cushion the repercussions from Middle East who will probably threaten to send back laborers and what not. Since we swallow the 'friends to all, foe to none' kool-aid everyday, we won't be able to handle that either.

Maybe at some point in time.

But certainly not now with the folks there in power.

Also, it's a bit strange that non Arab nations are so hesitant to deal with Israel when the Arabs themselves are more and more doing so.

Definitely a complex situation.

Yes, not now. Let alone the government, our people are not even ready for this sort of move. I hope someday, we are able to see it from a different angle and purely from a selfish POV (getting benefits for us) without giving much in return. Israel offered to recognized us in 1972. Let's not forget that.

We can develop the diplomatic relation in such a way that contact is minimal and when needed. Let's say, for instance, personally I would not mind sending few of our students to study at good institutes in Israel, learning research, getting skills in sectors we need and bringing them back (by obligation from the government) to Bangladesh to utilize them. That's a value-addition because education has no boundary nor enemy.

Israel is poised to become a ruling state soon. Most of the policies in the west are dictated by them anyway. Its better to have atleast some sort of leeway when it comes to dealing with them.

But hey, "friend to all, foe to none" kool-aid anyday.

I am disappointed that anyone is contemplating having any relations with land thieves for "benefits".

The influence that Jews have in the world will subside anyway as China will within a decade join the US as another superpower and so any benefits that way will degrade over time. Cannot ever see Jews having the kind of influence with the Chinese like they do over US/West.
Gulf Arabs are making deals with Jews as they think it benefits them to stay in power.

Lots of other countries like Turkey and Indonesia are catching up and developing sophisticated weapons systems and so they would be a natural choice for BD in terms of diversifying it's arms procurements.

Bhai, would you be able to trust a nation that funnels billions to maintain a constant disinformation campaign against Islam?

Besides, the Burmese and Indians are very cozy with Israelis. So strategically it won't make sense for Bangladesh to avail defence tech from them.

Sure there are benefits to establishing relationship with Israel. But the cons far outweigh the pros in my opinion.

 

[DalalErMaNodi]

Unpopular opinion but realistically speaking the "dream" of Palestine is over, the Palestinians certainly haven't helped their cause by engaging in foolhardy acts of violence even if they Israelis instigated these reactions.

The Arab world has grown tired of backing the Palestinians, give it 15 years at most until all the Arab countries recognise Israel as a sovereign nation. The most they will do is set-up embassies in Tel-Aviv instead instead of Jerusalem in an effort to save face and pride.

Bangladesh does not benefit from being oblivious to the existence of Israel. When you remove the smoke screen of emotional and religious bias, it becomes clear that Bangladesh stands to gain more now if they recognise Israel then if they don't.

Having the words "any country of the world except Israel" on your passport does not hamper or diminish the existence of the state of Israel, after all 'friendship to all and malice to none'.

 

[mb444]

I would say time is probably not yet correct. There is little benefit is doing so in my opinion.

Anyhow it should be done on a cost benefit basis. Do it when it serves BD interest.

 

[DalalErMaNodi]

Of course, I meant we should recognize Israel if it benefits us, we are not recognizing or ignoring Israel just because the Arabs told us to.

in the same argument i don't understand how you can trust saudi arabia, the nation that helped in collaspe of muslim dominance in the world stage, the nation whose people thought it would be cool to ram two towers thousands of miles away in the name of Allah, whatever we may say, america fabricated it and whatnot (true they did) but we cannot forget the involvement of the saudis in bringing down hell over muslims all ocer the world... i would rather live in a world of jewish dominance than in a hypocritic islamic dominance and subjugation of the poor

A country's foreign policy must be consistent and should not flip flop over the expectation of getting something when it is Israel. Our people's sentiment must not be overlooked. Turkey has betrayed the Palestinians. SA has secret relationship with Israel. Let them do whatever they like but BD should not withdraw its support from the standing taken by the Palestine population.

It was again Trump who was talking about a peace meeting in the ME. It is just like what his predecessors did before the US election. But, hopefully, some peace solution may come out with the US efforts.

But, BD must wait for things to change positively in favor of the Palestinians. We will follow only their lead. If they accept Israel, we also accept. I still remember how happily Yasser Arafat had visited BD several times.

 

[Bengal71]

BD should recognize a rock rather than Israel. That country will disappear like fleeting vapor when time comes. Crusaders occupied for 99 years and then were kicked out. They are just enjoying the backing of Western civilization which is at peak at the moment, it won't remain so forever.
