Pakistan and Israel
I refer to the article published on Tuesday January 18, titled, "US forces inside Iran to pick sites for air strikes." This article was also covered by all major international media but the part which struck me was that both Israel and Pakistan are supplying information to the United States that could be used for a potential military assault on that country. So, from one perspective, this would be the first time that Pakistan has indirectly allied itself with Israel to fight against a fellow Muslim country, irrespective of whether or not they're predominantly Shi'ite.
I wonder how Pakistan's military and civilian population feel about their country's unsolicited support to propping up Israel's aims and objectives to destroy Iran's military capabilities in order to protect an illegal Jewish state? What's next? A Pakistani Embassy in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?
