#1 "First, it will be a blow to the growing Indo-Israeli nexus," said "The News", referring Israel's sale of advanced weapons to Pakistan's old rival, India.

Secondly, it would "bring credible advantages for Pakistan within the American political system, where the Jewish lobby's clout is unquestionable".

Serious delusions here.
The Indian defence budget is many times that of Pakistan and is projected to grow tremendously as the economy improves. India is the largest market for Israeli defence goods and will remain so.

AIPAC is not going to lobby for Pakistan, a nation where the majority of the population has been indoctrinated to hate Jews.

Pakistan passports are actually stamped "not valid for travel to Israel". Pak may change these symbols but the hatred of Israel will always be there.

Disappointment in Pakistan at not being able to block Indo-Israeli defence deals and restrictions on sales of military technology (which Pak might share with Israel's arab enemies) will create a backlash against the talks.
