Should Bangladesh Recognize Israil ? Friday October 07 2005 11:59:30 AM BDT Mohiuddin Anwar , USA Before returning the captured land to the Palestinians no question should be raised regarding recognizing the state of Israel created with the blessings of two superpowers. Israel forcefully occupied the land of Palestine and expelled thousands from their motherland and even illegally occupied and annexed the Golan heights from Syria. Israel also refused to honor several U.N. resolutions. Instead of recognizing the state of Israel, Israel should be punished /sanctioned by the civilized World for illegal occupation, expulsion of legitimate owners from their motherland and anexing foreign land. Those whoare advocating for the recognition of Israel should remember that Bangladesh is not Pakistan nor Egypt nor Mauritanya nor Jordan ,Bangladesh is decmocratically run moderate Islamic nation and all major decisions has to be well supported by the people of Bangladesh. And there is no reason to believe that ,Bangladeshis are considering 'love affair' with the Israelis like the Paki's ,who killed thousands of Muslim Children, Elderly people and demolished hundreds of houses and even accused to genocide
