Boycotting Israel...


The boycotting of Israel by most Arab and Muslim nations except Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco is absolutely obsolete in this fast changing world.

I don't understand the point of not establishing any diplomatic and economic ties with the modern and technologically advanced Jewish state by most Muslim states since its creation in 1948.

The charge levelled by the Muslim states against Israel of oppressing the Palestinians is nothing but hypocrisy. If all the Muslim nations are comfortable with having ties with the US in all aspects, which is at present suppressing and destroying one Muslim state by imposing war or economic sanctions, there is no reason they should not go for the same with Israel.

After all, God hates hypocrisy.
