Do not be seduced by these otherwise interesting Islamicist articles. Yes – Israel is committing genocide – but the nuclear-armed Pakistan has been a loyal lap-dog of the US in the past and has sponsored endless anti-Socialist movements (the Taliban originates in Pakistan and Osama Bin Laden was permitted to hide-out there). It is a thoroughly corrupt State that imprisons its leaders if they dare express any secular Socialist attitudes. In many ways, Pakistan has shifted toward Iran’s Islamicist stance whilst many supposed leftists in the West dance to their tune without thinking. Criticising Israel does not hide the fact that a regime has more in common with Israel than it does the Palestinians. The very fact Iran does not seek the release of Imran Khan speaks volumes and should alert Western leftists to the threat of militant Islamicism masquarading as left-wing politics.
