Yeah, if he was a Wahabi like the Janjaweed, we will never get to read this anti-Semitic essay. Did you know that Sudanese Arabs have killed and displaced more “Muslims” in the past one year alone than all of the Muslims killed/displaced by Israelis since 1948? Muslims needs to take the pole out of their ass and worry about how Muslims in their own lands are treated before worrying about Palestinians. You dont like Jews living in peace, at least let them die in peace. But that will be too much to expect from animals.

Indeed.

Would the writer care to comment on yet another grim irony; the scandal of Jack Abrahamson swindling two American Indian tribes that had managed to develop a lucrative business in order to fund arms for Zionist settlers (not peaceloving settlers) to use against Palestinians?

``all the wars that Israel unleashed against its Arab neighbours and quarries``

I thought 1967 war was initiated by Arabs

Y`all are just a shame to the Indian race...why can`t you be like Rahul Mahajan? He seems to have no problem cutting through the RAW-MOSSAD bs....

It’s a disgrace when an ex-Diplomat who is supposed to be “diplomatic” and a representative of the nation’s foreign policy writes a 3rd rated garbage such as this. Sharon is on deathbed, and instead of showing compassion and ways of reconciliation (even though there’s nothing to reconcile between Israel and Pakistan), this guy comes up with this garbage. It makes me embarrassed to be a Pakistani. I would be so happy when this Partition generation is all dead and rotten for they are responsible for keeping the country in dark ages.

samina

Who is Rahul Mahajan?

Anyway - regarding the ``points`` made in this article - well, it`s the same-old tired propaganda re-gurgitated by arabs and wannabe-arabs since ages.....Volumes have already been written/spoken on this.....

Why are pakis so worked-up about the palis anyway? Let them sort their affairs with the jews.....

re: 7

Explain the logic behind this peculiar argument. Thank you.

Samina, I say it as I see it. This is supposed to be a place where supposedly grownups come and contribute. My comments are self-explanatory. If you still need explanation, let me say it in simple words. This essay sucks big time, especially when written by someone who represented Pakistan as an Ambassador in other countries. An ambassador never “retires”. Political commentary of such a sensitive nature is not something that these retired FOs should be involved in. Doing so shows how high up anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism runs in Paki society. We all know that to be true, but let’s keep it in the country to sell it to the illiterate and ignorant masses there. There are lots of smart Pakistanis overseas (and a few in Pakistan) who can see thru this garbage.

{``His background doesn’t differ too much from Saddam Hussain’s who was, likewise, hired as a youthful assassin by the Baathist Party. But look at how vastly differently the two are being treated at the bar of western politics and justice: one is being acclaimed as a hero and statesman while the other is being tried as a condemned pariah and villain.``}

Ghori Sahib,
I am glad that a Chauhan finally gets to engage in a dialogue with a Ghori. :) ``Why can`t we all get along?``

Sir,
I don`t think that the comparison is all that sensible. I agree that both joined terrorist groups in their youth and that both supervised the massacre of thousands of people. The key difference was that Sharon killed Palestinians while Sadman Houston butchered Shia Arabs and Sunni Kurds. Now, the perception of one as a hero and statesman and the other as a pariah and a villain is due mostly to the western press and its own agenda. Even Menachem Begin, the former Irgun terrorist, was a statesman to the one-sided western press.

I agree with Kulharee Bhai in his statement about the Sudan. Yes, Palestinians are the victims and have suffered terribly. I think that they have been usesd as pawns by their Arab brethren to foster various causes - pan-Arab, socialist, Baathist, Monarchist, and Islamist. Thanks for an interesting, timely, and informative article.

re: 11

There is a difference between being critical of Zionist policy and being an anti semite. Please do not confuse the two.

Samina, you are naive to the extreme. Did you ``understand`` the subtle references in his garbage, such as “Berlin Wall”? Obviously not.

re: 14

Again, it is incumbent on you to make the argument of why something is what you say it is. Otherwise, you are wasting time and playing games.

This article is by a muslim for the muslims.....an impotent tirade against someone who spanked the combined Arab power despite hands tied by the fifth colunm, liberals, anti semites, politics, etc......
