Why Is Pakistan More Legitimate than Israel –

     By Dennis Prager : Jewish World Review

Whenever I have received a call from a listener to my radio show challenging  Israel’s legitimacy, I have asked these people if they ever called a radio show  to challenge any other country’s legitimacy. In particular, I ask, have they  ever questioned the legitimacy of Pakistan?The answer, of course, is always “no.” In fact, no caller ever understood why  I even mentioned Pakistan.

There are two reasons for this.

First, of all the 200-plus countries in the world, only Israel’s legitimacy  is challenged. So mentioning any other country seems strange to a caller.  Second, almost no one outside of India and Pakistan knows anything about the  founding of Pakistan.

Only months before the U.N. adopted a proposal to partition Palestine into a  Jewish and an Arab state in 1947, India was partitioned into a Muslim and a  Hindu state. The Hindu state was, of course, India. And the Muslim state became  known as Pakistan. It comprises 310,000 square miles, about 40,000 square miles  larger than Texas.

In both cases, the declaration of an independent state resulted in violence.  As soon as the newly established state of Israel was declared in May 1948, it  was invaded by six Arab armies. And the partition of India led to a terrible  violence between Muslims and Hindus.

According to the final report of the United Nations Conciliation Commission  from Dec. 28, 1949, the 1948 war of Israel’s independence created 726,000 Arabs  refugees. Many sources put the figure at about 200,000 less. A roughly equal  number of Jewish refugees — approximately 700,000 — were created when they were  forcibly expelled from the Arab countries where they had lived for countless  generations. In addition, approximately 10,000 Arabs were killed in the fighting  that ensued after the Arab invasion of Israel.

Now let’s turn to the creation of Pakistan. According to the United Nations  High Commissioner on Refugees, the creation of Pakistan resulted in 14 million  refugees — Hindus fleeing Pakistan and Muslims fleeing India. Assuming a 50-50  split,  the creation of Pakistan produced about seven million Hindu refugees —  at least 10 times the number of Arab refugees that resulted from the war  surrounding Israel’s creation. And the Mideast war, it should be recalled, was  started by the Arab nations surrounding Israel. Were it not for the Arab  rejection of Israel’s creation (and existence within any borders) and the  subsequent Arab invasion, there would have been no Arab refugees.

And regarding deaths, the highest estimate of Arab deaths during the 1948 war  following the partition of Palestine is 10,000. The number of deaths that  resulted from the creation of Pakistan is around one million.

 

 

In addition, according to the Indian government, at least 86,000 women were  raped. Most historians believe the number to be far higher. The number of women  raped when Israel was established is close to zero. From all evidence I could  find, the highest estimate was 12.

Given the spectacularly larger number of refugees and deaths caused by the  partition of India and the creation of Pakistan, why does no one ever question  the legitimacy of Pakistan’s existence?

This question is particularly valid given another fact: Never before in  history was there a Pakistan. It was a completely new nation. Moreover, its  creation was made possible solely because of Muslim invasion. It was Muslims who  invaded India, and killed about 60 million Hindus during the thousand-year  Muslim rule of India. The area now known as Pakistan was Hindu until the Muslims  invaded it in  the year 711.

On the other and, modern Israel is the third Jewish state in the geographic  area known as Palestine. The first was destroyed in 586 Before the Common Era.,  the second in  the year 70. And there was never a non-Jewish sovereign state in  Palestine.

So, given all these facts, why is Israel’s legitimacy challenged, while the  legitimacy of Pakistan, a state that had never before existed and whose creation  resulted in the largest mass migration in recorded history, is never  challenged?

The answer is so obvious that only those who graduated from college, and  especially from graduate school, need to be told: Israel is the one Jewish state  in the world. So, while there are 49 Muslim-majority countries and 22 Arab  states, much of the world questions or outright only rejects the right of the  one Jewish state, the size of New Jersey, to exist.

If you are a member of the Presbyterian Church, send these facts to the  leaders of the Presbyterian Church USA who voted to boycott Israel. If you are a  student in Middle Eastern Studies — or for that matter, almost any other  humanities department — and your professor is anti-Israel, ask your professor  why Pakistan is legitimate and Israel isn’t.

They won’t have a good answer. Their opposition to Israel isn’t based on  moral considerations.
