I have a question. How is it possible for Bangladesh to 'not accept'
recognition? Of course, I know nothing about the diplomatic intricacies
involved, but from a laymans point of view, if someone wishes to "recognize"
me, the very worst response I can give him is to not "recognize" him back,
but I can hardly refuse his recognition!
If anyone knows what 'recognizing' a country actually means, in diplomatic
terms, please respond back to this ng.

I wonder if that is true and if so, what state Bangladesh economy
would be by now if the proposal were accepted.

I don't know any more than Mr. Mitra what "recognition" entails.
But let me hazard a guess. Perhaps it amounts to expressing
willingness to establish diplomatic relationship. As far as I
know, Bangladesh & Israel do not have diplomatic relations with
each other. And this might show that it takes two to tango. In
otherwords, "recognition" cannot perhaps be consummated unless
both sides are willing!

So it's a lot like having sex... when Bhutan "recognized" Bangladesh for the
first time, it meant a lot to Bangladesh... made Bangladesh feel loved and
wanted...

Here is the fact you do not have to believe it.
Israel was the first nation to recognise BD. In fact Israel was also
the nation who promised to give Phantoms, 6 of them to fight the paki
army. If you know any pilots who fought the war they will hesitantly
say no or no comments. India recognises Israel and it was through them
this inistiative came during the great liberation war. Unfortunately
due to some learned diplomats this goodness was dropped or declined as
the story goes we that is the provisional govt of BD did not want to
make the arab world unhappy. None of them were in our side

1971? Or because atrocities by Pakistani army in Bangladesh in 71 reminded
many in Israel of the holocaust?

this was neither acknowledged nor reciprocated.
Israel also sent a plane-load of medicines- paid for by popular
subscription(just like the voluntary contributions being made at present in
Israel for the refugees from Kosovo) but when the cargo reached Bombay, the
BanglaDeshi authorities-though desperately in need of such help- rejected it
as coming from Israel. The cargo which was highly perishable was therefore
handed over to the British charity OXFAM and presumably reached Dacca as a
British donation. No thanks or acknowledgement ever reached the Israeli
Consulate in Bombay which handled the matter.
Indeed Israelis were horrified by stories of atrocities and wanted also to
show that as Jews they had no animosity to Muslims,and if people needed
help - then Israel stood ready to help those in need. Since that episode
Israeli field hospitals have been deployed in Africa after the atrocities
in Ruanda, and now in Macedonia- helping Kosovar refugees. Israel also
took in Bosnian Muslim refugees and has declared readiness to take in 100
Kosovars too.
Sincerely,
David Zohar,
formerly Vice Consul of Israel,
Bombay, India

<stuff deleted>
This is ofcourse the first time I have heard of this. As a native of
Bangladesh, I ought to do my part in showing gratitude for Israel's early
recognition of my country upon independence from Pakistan. As you may know
India not only recognized Bangladesh but played an instrumental role in
the country's liberation. But due to India's foreign policies towards
Bangladesh since 1971, India was considered to be Bangladesh's enemy for a
long time by many. India's attitudes are slightly different now and things
are much better between the two countries.
Unfortunately relationship between Bangladesh and Israel are hostage to
Israel's policy on Palestine, the issue of which we never considered to be
a domestic one for Israel. The Muslim world is united in its belief that
Palestine must be created from the Gaza and West Bank territories. Other
issues must also be solved between Israel and other Arab countries like
Syria.
Until this happens, the Muslim world is unfortunately unable to view
Israelies in any different light. It prevented us Bangladeshies from
reciprocating your gesture in 1971 and I am not wrong in suggesting that
the Muslim world does not even educate their children about the Jewish
Holocaust. This is ofcourse very unfortunate.
Palestine must be created very soon and the process must be started so
that Muslims around the world will view Jewish people not as enemies but
also as people who have suffered, thus showing solidarity with them. Then
Bangladesh will be able to show gratitude to those who deserved it in 1971
and maintain strong ties with them as we do now with Arab countries who
still wish we were part of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The fact that
we did not wish to be part of an Islamic government (and a government that
severely oppressed us economically and socially) and instead wished to
establish an independent and secular identity for ourselves is something
Arab Muslim countries simply frowned upon and still do. This is where
Israel showed maturity. Not even Israel's guarantor (the US) was capable
of this and instead militarily supported Pakistan for fear of East
Pakistan (now Bangladesh) becoming close to India and thus part of the
Soviet sphere of Influence.

Well, that is unfortunate as Israel is the Land of the Jewish people.
Even Jordan was biblically 3/4's of ancient Israel but that has been de
facto conceded. Our Bible is older than the Quran and our rights are
older than Muslim ideas about it, so unfortunately Israel cannot
accommodate the Muslim world any further than it already has. When Islam
recognizes Jewish rights to their homeland then all obstacles to good
Israeli-Islamic relations will have been removed. Until then we can only
hope for such a change.

Nope. It was "carved up" by the British who defeated the Ottoman Empire
and returned it to its rightful owners, the Jewish people.

Well, then they should return to Arabia. That's the headquarters of
international Islam.
We Jews can't give up our tiny little land to an already huge Muslim
nation that covers
perhaps 50 nations or so. Sorry.

Sorry, they have to accept the fact that they are living in a Jewish
country and act like good, decent, law-abiding citizens. The Kosovar
Muslims should do the same in Yugoslavia. If they keep on trying to
steal other people's lands for Islam they are going to get kicked out
everywhere and they will all end up refugees, maybe in Antarctica. There
aren't enough NATO, US or UN forces on the planet to stop everyone from
giving them the boot if they insist on taking away everyone else's land.

Everything is reversible if you are willing to kill enough UN troops to
achieve your objectives, I suppose. With 200 or more nuclear weapons
the world will have to be willing to pay a significant price to destroy
Israel.

I am not going to engage in a debate over who had rights to Palestine
at first. It is a moot point now. Israel was carved out of Arab/Muslim
territory in the mid 1940s and has caused the Arab diaspora and occupation
of the Palestinian Muslims. Most of the Arab world has accepted Israel's
existance as of recently and has demanded that there is another part to
the equation, i.e. a separate country called Palestine must be created for
the people of the occupied territories for the Palestinian Muslims. If the
Israelies like you cannot accept equal and independent status of Arabs
under their own administration, and instead prefer a barbaric and
colonial administration over them, then how can you expect acceptance from
other (i.e. non Palestinian) Arab countries for your own existance?
Ofcource, Israel's creation is irreversible. But making friends around you
is going to take a lot more than backing from the American Republican
Congress and your own Zionist propaganda.

Just out of curiousity, is Detroit part of the future Khilafa/Caliphate?
I can assure you that neither New York, LA nor Miami will ever be part
of the State of ISrael.
(However, there's an outside change that Israel might become a state in
the Union. :)

That still doesn't answer the question. I can definitely answer, if
someone asks me if any part of the US will ever be part of the JEwish
state with a definitive and simple "No." All I'm asking you (again) is,
if Muslims concentrate in Detroit, or for that matter in Marseilles,
France, or any other country that takes them in, can you give me 100%
assurance that those areas will NEVER be part of any future Khalifa
(Caliphate)? All I ask for is a yes or no answer.

You want the resumption of some future Caliphate. I want the Messiah.
Christians want the return of Jesus. But what I would like to know is if
there is a core of fundamentalists actively working to try to bring
further parts of Europe or the US into this future khilafa.
As for Israel having or not having "friends," we are not children who
need secure membership in a peer group to feel good about ourselves. God
is our only true friend and the only true friend that we actually need.
But anyone else is welcome if their friendship is true. But don't bother
to befriend a Leftist "Jew" or a Goldman Satmar type. That's like
befriending snakes. Befriend only true Jews like BEgin, Shamir, et al.
Sadat befriended Begin and got back the SInai.

With such enlightened views pouring out of soc.culture.israel, I am sure

Where in my previous postings did I insinuate that I or my fellow Muslims
intended to declare Detroit, Michingan or New York or wherever as the next
Caliphate or whatever? Moreover, where did I ever mention any
religious/political activities of any organization that I belonged to? I
was talking about what would bring peace between Arabs and Israelis, which
is the end of the colonial oppression of the Palestinians by the
Israelies.
Relating this to Caliphate or Jihad or whatever, tantamounts to clogging
up the net with rubbish void of any intelligence. It also demonstrates
what fuels the Arab-Israeli hate on your part, i.e. the ridiculous
paranoia resulting from the insecurity of Israelis having too little
friends around you and in the world.

Well it's nice to hear that. The reason why I asked was there are so
many Muslim separatist movements in the world. For example, there is one
in the Phillippines. And, of course, Pakistan split off from India at
the very beginning. I hear that there are Muslims separatists even in
China. I also read here about those wanting to bring back the khilafa,
and of course Pan-Arabism is nothing new either. Even the Black Muslims
once headed by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad and now led by Louis Farrakhan
advocated a separate Black Muslim state in America. But now that you
have reassured me, I can sleep
easier. Thanks :)
As for the Israeli flag, you can come to New York and see minorities
raising every flag under the sun here. Occasionally even the AMerican
flag, but rarely :)

The answer is a definite NO. The areas will never come under some
Caliphate. That hasn't happened since the days immediately after Prophet
Muhammad died. Muslims in the western world do preach just like preachers
from Christianity in the third world. But that does not equal any kind of
crusade. Muslims in America would like their children to follow Islam,
would like to keep the cultural aspects alive among their friends and
relatives and will strive to achieve equal status among all Americans.
Never do Muslims aspire to declare part of their state or country an
Islamic Republic. It is just as ridiculous of a notion as the one about
Jews in America raising the Israeli (or Jewish) flag in parts of the
United States.

As a Bangladeshi, I am very thankful for Israili help during our time of
trial. Hopefully if our political leaders can look beyound the politics of
the Middle East, then maybe Bangladesh can recognize Israel. And be a friend
of Israel like she was during our liberation war.
I thank the good people of Israel who choose humanity over politics and
supported our liberation movement during 1971. Thanks!

PS: I do support an independent Palestanian State beside Israel. And let both
nations live in peace and security. Maybe Bangladesh can recognize both
Palestine and Israel at the same time and not loose the support of the Arab
States doing that!?!

In 1971, the American administration made no secret of its "tilt" toward
Pakistan. Hence, politics is unlikely to be the cause of Israel's
pro-Bangladesh action. Most likely it was prompted by its feelings for a
people who had become the victims of the worst genocide since the holocaust.
Today's Los Angeles Times carries a report which would lend support to
the belief that Israelis, as the victim of a genocide, have traditionally
been able to sympathize with victims of other genocides regardless of their
religion.

Israelis Welcome Refugee Group as They Remember Holocaust
By REBECCA TROUNSON, Times Staff Writer
TEL AVIV--More than 100 refugees from the ethnically spawned violence in
Kosovo arrived here Monday on a profoundly symbolic day, as Israel began its
annual remembrance ceremonies for the millions of Jews who perished in the
Holocaust.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who greeted the 112 ethnic Albanian
refugees at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, said events in the Balkans,
although horrific, do not compare to the tragedy of the Holocaust in World War
II, when 6 million Jews were systematically killed by the Nazis.
But Jews are perhaps especially moved by the plight of the Kosovars,
Netanyahu told the newcomers, who arrived from Macedonia aboard a plane
chartered by the semi-governmental Jewish Agency. Some appeared relatively
cheerful; others, closing their eyes during the lengthy arrival ceremony,
looked dazed or weary.
"We as Jews have a special sensitivity to suffering," the prime minister
said. "When we see cars, trucks, trains, rows of refugees walking on foot,
when we see the scared faces of children and their weeping mothers, we feel a
special responsibility to get up and act."
Some Concerns About Nation's Offer Aired
As the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo intensified, Israel volunteered last
week to take in the small group of refugees for at least six months, despite
concerns by some Israelis about the state's providing even temporary shelter
to non-Jews. Most ethnic Albanians from the Serbian province, including
virtually all of the new arrivals here, are Muslims.
The government's offer followed widespread public criticism of the
Netanyahu administration because of its initially lukewarm support for NATO's
military campaign against the forces of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.
U.S. and NATO officials have accused Milosevic's army of forcing thousands of
ethnic Albanians to leave their homes in Kosovo and flee into neighboring
countries, and many are reported to have been killed.
Netanyahu has since expressed support for NATO's military operation and
distanced himself from comments by Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon, who has
refused to back NATO publicly and has expressed concern that Islamic
"terrorist" groups are working among the Kosovars.
Many other Israelis are wholeheartedly behind NATO and in favor of helping
the refugees--thousands of these supporters attended an outdoor benefit
concert in Tel Aviv last week--and official Israel is catching up.
In the last week, the government and the Jewish Agency, which was created
to encourage and support Jewish immigration to Israel, have airlifted more
than 100 tons of food, medicine and supplies to Kosovo refugees in Macedonia
and Albania. Perhaps most significant, an Israeli mobile hospital is serving
the Brazda and Stankovac refugee camps in northern Macedonia, caring for the
ill and delivering babies--at least seven so far.
It was through the hospital that many of Monday's arrivals came to be in
Israel, they said.
Astrit Ruci, 24, a medical student from Pristina, the capital of Kosovo,
said he began chatting with the Israeli doctors and nurses in the camp and
was delighted when they offered to let him help them in the hospital. Next,
they suggested that he, his parents, brother and grandmother come to live in
Israel, at least for a while.
"I saw they are good people," Ruci said just after his arrival, as his
brother, Driton, dozed in a white plastic chair beside him. "They are like
Albanians. We have the same problems of ethnic cleansing and genocide that
they had in the Holocaust."
But many of the new arrivals seemed a little stunned by their tumultuous
welcome.
Israeli journalists climbed over chairs and pushed cameras in the faces of
dazed-looking children and tearful women. Netanyahu and other politicians
running in the May 17 elections patted photogenic babies and thrust out their
hands to be shaken as campaign aides snapped photos.
One of those arriving, Lamia Yahad, was singled out for mention by
Netanyahu because her parents sheltered several Jews during the Holocaust and
were recognized as "righteous Gentiles" by Israel. She pleaded with reporters
and photographers to leave her alone.
Some Enjoy Attention, Chatting, Waving Flags
Other refugees seemed to revel in the attention. They chatted amiably with
reporters and waved small Israeli flags for photographers. Several said they
were glad to be anywhere distant from Serbian troops and NATO bombardments,
but they confessed to knowing very little about Israel.
"We only know it is a big, beautiful country and the people are very
friendly," said Shehide Ramadani, 18, who arrived with her parents and two
siblings. "That's enough."
The refugees--members of 17 families--will be housed at a collective
community in northern Israel for six months, then given the choice of
remaining in Israel or returning home, if that is possible. Most said they
hope to go back to Kosovo. In the meantime, they will receive housing, food,
work permits, language lessons and free phone calls, among other benefits.
Not all Israelis are receptive to the idea of the refugees' taking up
residence here. Radio talk shows in recent days have been filled with people
expressing sympathy but arguing that taking in non-Jews will cause only
problems for Israel.
"Let Iran save them, or Syria or Egypt," one man said in a fairly typical
response to news of the refugees' imminent arrival. "We have enough Muslims
here."
