David Ben Gurion,delivered a speech in the University of Sorbonne in August, 1967 in which he said:

"Pakistan in fact is an ideological challenge to us. The International Zionist Movement must have no misunderstanding about it nor must we be indifferent to this permanent source of danger."

Further discussing the mutual relations of Pakistan with the Arabs he said: "We must take some steps against Pakistan as her power of defense and ideological solidarity can become a source of great trouble to us. Therefore we have to maintain friendly relations with India. We must take all possible advantage of the historical hatred and enmity, which India bears against Pakistan. This historical enmity is our wealth. With all force and energy we should strike a grievous blow to Pakistan by helping India through international circles and by using our influence on the big powers of the world. This task should be performed with complete secrecy under the secret plans."

What did Ben Gurion mean by Pakistan's power of defense and ideological solidarity is explained by a new Military expert, Prof. Hurter who said: "The Pakistan Army has an extraordinary love for their Prophet Muhammad. This is the basis of strong friendly relations between Pakistan and the Arabs. This situation is a great danger to Judaism in the world.Therefore all the Jews should try to eliminate this love of the Muslims for their Prophet." (Jerusalem Post 19-9-1967; Urdu Nawa-I-Waqt, Lahore 22-5-1972 and 3-9-1973).

 The following extract is reproduced from General Mirza Aslam Beg's article "CONTAINING THE CONTAINMENT" which appeared in DAWN, Karachi of 16-10-1997.

"Pakistan cannot afford to be in any illusion, as the USA's ostensible objective is to implement the Zionist political agenda. One should not lose sight of what former Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion had expressed in the JEWISH CHRONICLE of August 1967.

 The cherished dream of Zionists and Freemasons is to demolish Masjid Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock in order to rebuild on their site King Solomon's Temple.

 An article captioned " A JEWISH CONSPIRACY EXPOSED-A temple to replace Al-Aqsa Mosque" by Grace Halsell (and Courtesy Arab News) was reproduced in Magazine Section of MORNING NEWS, Karachi (PAKISTAN) of  30-3-1984) according to which there is no evidence that the temple was located on the site where the Dome of Rock and Al-Aqsa stands today and is based on assumptions despite that the Zionists say " Well that's got to go (the Dome of the Rock)' and they say that it will go either by an Act of God like an earthquake or somebody is going to put some dynamite..

Israel's Ties with Muslim Nations on Upswing

JERUSALEM - When a devastating earthquake rattled     Iran two years ago and killed tens of thousands of people, the Islamic nation welcomed aid offered by every country - even the United States - except     Israel.

 

After another temblor decimated parts of Pakistan earlier this month, the second largest Muslim nation in the world agreed to accept help from the Jewish nation, setting the stage for boxes marked with the Star of David to begin heading east as soon as this week. In a region where small gestures can mark the start of something much larger, Pakistan's decision to take Israel's aid is a political tremor that could shake up the Middle East landscape.

 

"I think more and more Muslim countries realize that Israel is no longer a pariah, and they have to grow up and accept the fact that it may be beneficial to have relations with Israel at various levels," said Efraim Inbar, the director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Israel.

 

In the weeks since Israel ended 38 years of military rule over the     Gaza Strip by forcibly removing thousands of Jewish settlers who had lived amid 1.3 million Palestinians, it has racked up significant political rewards. First came a long-planned public handshake in Istanbul, Turkey, between the foreign ministers of Israel and Pakistan, marking the first official contacts between the Jewish and Muslim nations. Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom hailed the moment as the beginning of the end for the "iron wall" that's long separated Israel from most of its Arab neighbors. "Israel has no conflict with the Arab and Muslim world," the Tunisian-born Shalom said in an interview. "Just the opposite is true. We share many common interests and values. ... I always believed that the Arab and Muslim world has a critical role to play in advancing peace and stability."

 

That worldview seems to be making inroads across the Middle East. While Israel has established informal relations with its neighbors, the Gaza Strip gambit has given Arab and Muslim nations an excuse to acknowledge those ties publicly.

 

Indonesia's foreign minister met with Shalom at the United Nations, and a prominent newspaper in the world's largest Muslim nation cautiously welcomed the talks by saying that "Israel, unlike what Arabs often said in the past, indeed cannot be `thrown into the sea.'" The Jakarta Post weighed in by suggesting that Indonesia "opening some form of relationship with Israel is a prerequisite" to playing a larger political role in the region. And Shalom himself published a landmark opinion piece in an Indonesian newspaper.

 

After Shalom met with his Pakistani counterpart, President Pervez Musharraf told the American Jewish Congress that he could envision a day when there were more formal ties between the nations. "What better signal for peace could there be than opening embassies in Israel by Islamic countries like Pakistan?" he asked.

 

In Kuwait, a leading newspaper carried an opinion piece that encouraged Arab nations to follow Pakistan's lead. "Israel is not a bogey, and the notion of a greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates is no more than a scarecrow that the Arabs have used to justify their despotism, domestic injustice, and political, financial, and administrative corruption," wrote Yusuf Nasir Al Suwaydan, a Saudi.

 

The thaw may be reaping benefits for Israel, but it's not without risks for the Arab and Muslim leaders who've been buffeted by criticism in their own countries. Hard-line Pakistani lawmakers walked out of a Parliament meeting to protest the meeting with Israel, a nation that Pakistan doesn't officially recognize. When an Afghan newspaper recently reported that plans were under way for Afghanistan to officially recognize Israel, President Hamid Karzai's office quickly rebuffed the claim and said it would never do so until there was an independent Palestinian state.

 

The vehement opposition from the general public could make it difficult for leaders across the Middle East to go much farther in building ties with Israel until more progress is made with the Palestinians, said Mouin Rabbani, a Jordan-based senior analyst with the International Crisis Group. "At the end of the day, these states and governments in principle don't have any objection to going farther than they have already gone, but are being held back by their public opinion which is opposed to such relations," Rabbani said.
