Public sentiment is deeply polarized regarding India's stance in the Israel-Iran conflict. While some user sentiments express concern for Iran and advocate for solidarity among Muslim nations, others show strong support for Israel, highlighting frustrations with perceived political posturing and ineffective diplomatic efforts. Overall, there are significant concerns about India's neutrality, historical non-alignment, and its growing relationship with Israel amid accusations of anti-Muslim ideologies.

India

Israel

Iran

Saudi Arabia

I think the main complexity is India's relationship with Russia which is at odds with the otherwise natural block between India, Israel and the US.

deep_minds

Hahaha just saying this to save face. We all know why USA is being cozy to Pakistan these days. They just want Pakistan to not do anything other than solidarity tweets till they finish their business in Iran

AffectionateStorm106

Isn't israel invisible to pakistan and Pakistanis, according to them, so who is this puppet talking about?

One_Environment9

India has ditched its long 'non-aligned' status for a more cozy relationship with my home country, commonly referred to as 'the great satan'.  They're currently being hypnotized by the worst elements of my fake government. 

That's the only reason why they're hedging here.

epic_launcher

India should encourage more war and manufacture weapons for both sides

Kesakambali

One country attacked another. Where’s the balance?

Working_Apartment_38

We have great relations with both sides. Endorsing either is a death wish for our diplomacy. Also these "Pakistanis" back one side in words and do the others' bidding in action.

NicePhilosopher6525

Pakistan literally calls for de-escalation in the second paragraph? Are you ok? 

It acknowledged the unprovoked attack and offered sympathy for the victims. Trying to shift the narrative for absolutely no reason. You bozos need a life

OnlyToStudy

India calling for de-escalation in This conflict is the same as any other country calling for de-escalation in the recent India-Pakistan clashes

Hannibalbarca123456

These “balanced-approach” tweets and the Pakistani tweets are lip service. That’s it. It’s just political theater.  

These tweets literally mean nothing as both India and Pakistan have o influence in the region over Israel or Iran. The only one whose words matter, at least to Israel, is the US and even then it’s questionable how much Israel is willing to share with the US.

PanzerKomadant

Not sure if English is your first language or not, but the Pakistan PM's message is very neutral and is calling for deescalation.

striped-monster4214

Pakistan doesn't recognize Israel. Mentioning it in the tweet is pretty much against that.

Spiritual-Agency2490

Is it me or are the pro  Endia bots getting stupider and stupider.

DiavoloKira

Of course pakis support Iran. The Islamic mind always bends towards injustice, intolerance and terrorism.

Useful-Draw-8349

Waiting for this guy to make a heel turn, since US may use its airbase to attack Iran in case things escalate further.

Level-Negotiation721

What the heck? Pakistan houses US air bases and shows solidarity with Iran? Geopolitics is freakin crazy.

FunLong2786

There's a reason pakistan has allies and india has none . If you're on everyone's side and no one's side at the same time , you will have no friends to back you up in tough times .

New_Combination3079

Having a balanced opinion when one side literally started the main conflict is weird. 


It's like saying if Pakistan attacked India unprovoked you'd want every country to be balanced and neutral. 

Intrepid-Debate5395

kalaalo

India has historically advocated ambiguity in their stances, and supported both sides of a conflict. They abstained from voting against either Russia or Israel due to them being our allies, yet India also sends aid to Ukraine and Palestine, and has recognised the sovereignty of both. I think, the current stance seems pretty ok atm because Iran is not an enemy, the world is already very tense rn

S_I_G_M_A179

Hope this time Iranian open their minds and know their enemies well . India being one of them

Routine7777

Iran just called 70+ Mossad Indian agents spying for Israel in Iran

and the pattern we're seeing so far with Israel's war tactics puts them at the top. Its not just the weaponry, iron defence F35s or the billions in funding, its Mossad. They have key, high value targets pinned in every enemy state. We've seen plenty of examples with Lebanon, Yemen, and most recently (also in the past) with Iran. They might be onto us, for God knows, how long.

PructFrust

&gt; We need to speed up on research and development and improve our air defenses

Word! Honestly this is a necessity now. Comes with pros and cons tho. Military budget gonna peak, and poverty for the citizens as well.

alishbahahmad7

May Allah bless Dr AQ Khan and all others involved in our nuclear program back then. We were and are absolutely nothing without nukes

Brave_Impact_

we need to carefully stop our reliance on Arab countries, they are unreliable and are up for sale at all times. This loan seeking mentality needs to slowly removed from our economic policies and you're right the military must up their R&amp;D spend along with improve intelligence.

milk-steak-sunny

Also its also the only one with a good Air Force

goldtank123

We need to buy a nuclear submarine yesterday. Investing in AD is good but if Israel wants to hit us, they will git us. Nothing can stop a swarm of ballistic missiles. Deterrence is the best strategy.

not_hairy_potter

So let's get something pretty straight. Israel is not doing anything to US. That is a fact. 

We aren't considered a major problem for Israel, in the sense that we are not involved in the conflict. Yes, we do the boycott, we raise our voice, but we are not funding any troops, etc. At the same time, we have helped in the Ukraine war, have major ties with China and Saudi Arabia (the other MENA country that America loves). 

So, like, we should stop this fear mongering and care about what is really required for us to better ourselves. The whole Iran-Israel thing was going to happen sooner or later. Like be sad for the lives that were lost, still advocate for Palestine where every you can but don't think a country like Israel will ever strike Pakistan overtly (covertly is another thing entirely).

Neat_Firefighter_806

People here really forgotten Iran was firing missiles at us last year, and have been helping India with BLA?

Anti-Israel works when our so called muslim allies aren't already involved in destabilizing us. Iran in Balochistan, Afghanistan in KPK, Arab states with Gwadar, Iran and Saudi inciting Sunni shia violence. 

And this whole "why are these arab states not helping out iran" You guys ever read what Iran did with Kuwait? who exactly did Zia go and help out Jordan against a coup? What Hezbollah, iranian backed, did to Sunnis in 2008? 

Muslim ummah is a dream that's never been true. We've been fighting eachother for centuries and centuries, or else there'd been no different Caliphates, no Abbasids after Umayyads, no Arabs destabilizing Ottomon empire with help from British

EverBurningPheonix

wdym "we"????? the army owns the country and they will jump at the first opportunity alongside the saudis to normalise relations with the zionist entity.

there was never "we" in this equation. they dont serve our interests. they're the remnants of colonialism that we failed to neutralise. get that through ur heads ffs

titanfeed

Pakistan is not privately anti-Israel lol. To be clear, we aren't pro-Israel either.

But we have had decades of intelligence-sharing relations with Israel. 

We have allegedly also sent secret delegations to Israel. In 2005, our foreign ministers publicly met each other in Turkey.

Hamza-K

I don't think we have or will be a part of it. It is more of a Middle Eastern conflict than a Religious one

kaiser-1048

Bold of you to assume we don't have secret ties.

makhaninurlassi

It’s time we start from the ground up — by teaching our children the truth, the facts, and the rich, often forgotten legacy of the Muslim world.
For too long, education has been reduced to a narrow path: study hard, get a degree, find a job, buy a house, start a family, and eventually fade away. This cycle, while stable for some, has also bred complacency and crushed potential.

We must shift this mindset.

Our goal should not just be good employees — it should be great leaders, visionaries, scholars, inventors, reformers, and changemakers across every field of life. The Muslim world once led in science, philosophy, medicine, trade, and governance — we need to rekindle that flame. That starts with telling our children who they really are, and what they are truly capable of.

Let’s teach identity with purpose. Education with meaning. Ambition with character.
Let’s rebuild — not for comfort, but for contribution.

EfficiencyFrosty6964

Israel's goal is to eliminate the military capability of regional muslim armies so that it can have it's final plans for greater Israel implemented. 

Be in no doubt Pakistan will be next.  Israelis already succeeded in getting India to attack Pakistan and directly supported them.

kebabish

I am not sure if I understand.  If they make you sign the Abraham Accords, why would you need to improve your air defenses?

kawhileopard

What are you talking about?

The biggest threat is PTI and that person who is in jail from last 3 years.

Israel and US have nothing to afraid , we already unofficially banned Palestine protest or any symbol of solidarity. Just slashed 99% budget of atomic energy commission. We will serve our masters as they command , they don’t need to attack us.

What is your end game here, the ability to hit Israel?

Israel is very small. Hitting them impacts its neighbours too.

This sort of hoo haa is of little practical use. In the end, stable geopolitics -&gt; stable economies -&gt; environment for growth -&gt; people can lead prosperous lives.

It's time our societies realised that.

ramario281

We don't need to do anything. Keep your head down and don't get into these conflicts.

Why are yall saying Iran is out of the way? What happened to Iran?

Who told you Pakistan is privately anti Israel.. ?

biryanishiryani101

You could just say Israel?

Western-Challenge188

What does signing abraham accords entail?  nothing wrong with normalisation of relationships, if it DOES NOT MEAN giving up stance on freedom and security for Palestinians.

hastobeapoint

Correction:

Apparently, not openly. 

Deep down, they already are with Zionists.

Pakistan uses Israeli spy softwares.
Pakistani friend circle is Saudi, Turkey and Azerbaijan. All shamelessly Zionist servants and master hypocrites who help Gaza with tongues and talks while help zionists with money, oil, military facilities, intelligence, and creating religio-political fog that benefits Israel.

Onland-Pirate

Also, like others engages with Israel via backdoors. They just sent a team this year too, it was all over Israeli newspaper, nothing like Hafiz Asim engaging Zionist lobby for favors

Ihatepros236

Yes and then u will be fucked by both india and israel

Icy-Major-1327

Asim Munir is working tirelessly to establish relations with Israel.

Hey guys, we don't care about Pakistan...

kulamsharloot

Sharing this since all the backlash I got on the last three posts ( one of which got removed by mods for no reason 🤷‍♀️ ) when I was making this exact point. 

Anyways, probably one of the last posts on this discussion. I hope everyone is on the right side of history &amp; continues to remain steadfast. 

Imam Hussain A.S: 

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. 

“By God, I will never surrender to my enemies like a humiliated person and never pledge allegiance to them like slaves.”

QURAN:

“Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.”

Peace.

_oceanp

Yes they are and also we have ot remember the sahrof family is also with them I mean modi litalley came to Pakistan for there weddings

People will say whatever they can to sell more weapons. I thought we’d established that long ago!

Traditional-Hat1927

I'm not sure about involvement of Israel but you @_oceanp are definitely adding fuel to that fire.

thealijafri

I have no interest in your divisive political beliefs... I'm here to learn about Islam from the Shia perspective.

kevincsy33

Seems like lip service without any concrete actions or policies

In fact Iran is a bigger trade partner for india when compared to israel

CalmAndBear

I swear to god these Indians who simping for any anti-arab,anti-muslim country are so freaking cringe. I once saw an Indian on Twitter asking about how to join idf on Netanjahu's page

Reasonable_Record_67

I think the difference is that extremist Indians hate Muslims, whereas extremist Israelis are less concerned about Muslims but rather Arabs as a whole. So Israel does not give a f*ck about Pakistan because they’re not Arabs (despite them being obsessed with us *insert mean girls meme*) but extremist Indians are hostile to all Muslims whereas they might not be as bothered by Arab Christians

taintedCH

Israeli political commentators don't talk much about anything that isn't israel. But when they do talk about india they praise india. When modi visited a few years ago it was a very big thing.  If you listen to bibi's speaches or any other politician who spoke when modi visited they all said the same type of stuff and praised india, indian culture, indian tech/intelligence/hard work. Etc.

generic_pogo

**SAAR!** Would somone please tell them what the Jews do to cow worshippers?

CantPickANameItSeems

I believe so, I don't recall hearing an Israeli political commentator saying anything negative about India.

MijTinmol

Only people who hate Muslims more than Zionist are Hindutva. This is a Hindutva Zionist alliance nothing more, specially given current Indian Hindu nationalist leadership.

Isreal does not care, they will screw you for 2 sheckles

DanzelFossington

- We are a weapons manufacturer, India is a giant market the U.S. doesn't mind us selling to. 
- Israel craves unconditional recognition and legitimacy, India is more than happy to provide that.
- Pakistan being India's enemy and despising Israel is the cherry on top.

The natural allies part is demonstrably true. The only exception to this is India's warm relationship with Iran, but then again, India gets along well with pretty much anyone who isn't their immediate neighbor.

OwlMan_001

Friendship exclusively  based on the hate of certain muslims, so beautiful...

Proud-Letterhead6434

India pushing for this one sided friendship is so pathetically hilarious

Zealousideal_Area366

Idk now about Israel but this bend of India especially After Hardline Hindu Nationalist coming to power in India is due to Hatred of Muslims inside India.

India soon after coming to being was against Israel :

1: It was against state being created on base of religion (similar to Pakistan which seek separation om base of religion differences )

2: it also doesn't wanted upset Muslims who were part of Indian national congress.

After year india may maintained low profile relationships with Israel never when fully public like it did after 2016 because there would have been huge backslash from 20 million Indian Muslims.

Neo Nazis Hindu Nationalist long had this desire of dealing Muslim in India especially the people in Kashmir which they think is quite similar to problem of Palestine and they wanted to deal with in similar barbaric way like Israel does.

So after 2016 when modi came to power they start making moves and invited Netanyahu to India modi also visited there and now on Twitter alot of Hindu Nationalists do have orgasm about IDF and Israel.

Both fund trolls and propaganda. Brothers in shame.

guhjcjhfg

Most people do not understand the fact that Israeli friendship with India didn't just start in the last few years it stretches all the way back.
A lot of jews were given shelter In India while some in the Middle east and European world were hunting them.
India has given shelter to a lots of communities from the zoorastrians in persia to Monks fleeing the PRC.

It has nothing to do with religion.Arabs have had beautiful relationships with India for hundreds of years especially Dubai &amp; Oman.

And not many countries considered India an ally since it's not predominantly Muslim or Christian.
India needed help to defend &amp; raise an army back then only the Russians and Israelis did that for India.While the west and arab world helped Pakistan.
Israel might respect India but Indians are too loyal and way too stupid to tjink Israel actually gives a damn about them.Just Like the Pakistanis believe Chinese love them.

The narrative of being Anti-Muslim came into being only after the Pakistan-India disputes.
Now both the Indian &amp; Pakistani government shoves the religious Ideology to fund their campaigns and get sentiments from arabs or west.

Sounds kinda one sided until 1992... stalker vibes.

JackieChan-fan

Both almost fascist govts. Natural allies .

nativedutch

India is one of the few nations that have never persecuted their Jewish community. This tracks

What all of ya need to understand is that some countries just don't give a fuck about the israel-palestine conflict and it is OK.

deadbeefisanumber

If USA support fails India is the backup I guess.

Couldn’t give less fucks honestly, India is irrelevant in my day-to-day life

xdecayedghoulx

India is a very important part of many Israeli's life. Since the 90s many travel there after the army service and came back again and again. I myself spent more than a year there and love the ppl and culture (Hindu and Muslim). This friendship was long before any nationalism on any side and not about hating anyone.

Canem_inferni

That's a horribly inaccurate account of history. India did not recognise Israel in 1950 and instead supported Palestine in the UN. In fact, India back then was referred to as an "honourary Arab country" because of how adamantly it supported Palestine. And in the 1970s even Hindu nationalist politicians would publically condemn Israel and support Palestine. 

But then in the early 1990s, the USSR, which had been supplying India with advanced weapons for many decades, collapsed. And Western nations also refused to sell India advanced weapons because they wanted to punish India for developing nuclear weapons in secret. This was a national security disaster since South Asia is an unstable region. 

And the only country willing to help India was Israel and so India agreed to start diplomatic ties with them. Eventually India and Israel collaborated in many areas from agriculture to space research to military to industry. But India still supports the Palestinian struggle and sends aid each year and its PM received the highest Palestinian honour in 2015.

I Don’t Like Indians To be honest They Just Like us Because they are  anti-Turkish  and Anti-Muslim
