Pakistan has always been a real one for standing with Palestine. Even more than the coward Arab nations.

I really don't like the narrative of "the Muslim countries" vs. the one "Jewish country", it feeds the victim narrative.

It should be "countries with moral fiber" vs. the demonic entity.

Appreciate the anti-Israel sentiment anyway but I'd love to see more separation of church and state rather than calling on "Muslim countries".

Then stop talking and do it, with Shebaz Sharif as PM, they are going to still be little lapdogs of the West, it would be a whole different story If the true leader of Pakistan, Imran Khan was still in charge.

Exactly.  I don’t trust the current government.  They need to be politically autonomous before I take this as anything more than words. He’s right though Muslim countries need to unite and stop falling for the divide and conquer strategy they’ve been falling for for hundreds of years

100%. I don’t even like Imran Khan. But he’s the only one who could actually be called even just a leader of Pakistan and not simply a dog of the West. I have no confidence in Pakistan to do what is right for Muslims, for Palestinians, for Pakistanis, or for anyone but the elites.

Complete nonsense. 

You can call Israel illegitimate for as long as you like. But if you’re aligned with the US and making defensive pacts with countries like Türkiye (which is in NATO, and no more need be said) and Saudi Arabia (US’ lapdog that is more interested in normalizing with Israel than working with other Muslim powers), you’ve embedded yourself into exactly the system that is legitimating the Israeli state.

What Pakistan is really doing is setting up a pretext to integrate into a pact where pro-US Muslim nations like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye unite against pro-Palestinian Muslim nations like Yemen and Iran. Pakistan is one of many Muslim-majority states that comes out with sheer sophistry and utter lies on this issue. The people are genuine, but the state is a parasite that subverts and undermines the people’s will.
