Ousted-dictators-for-Israel

It is fitting that an ousted dictator would be enamored with Israel:  "Pakistan should be open to the idea of establishing relations with Israel in order to counter the "pro-India" stand usually adopted by it on key issues like Kashmir, former President Pervez Musharraf has said.   Musharraf said the Jewish state is a fait accompli and relations with it can help Islamabad come closer to the strong Jewish lobby in the US and in its conflict against India.   "Pakistan has to keep demanding the resolution of the Palestinian dispute... (but) Pakistan also needs to keep readjusting its diplomatic stand toward Israel based on the mere fact that it exists and is not going away," said Musharraf, who plans to return to Pakistan from self-exile later this month. "  When I was in Pakistan on my speaking tour in Islamabad back in 2007, I was told that Musharraf--under pressure from US Congress--did indeed try to improve public relations with Israel but that the uproar was so big, that he could not proceed.  The people of Pakistan are one of the most anti-Israeli people on earth.
