You’ll notice a similarity between Pakistan’s antagonism toward India and that of the leadership of Gaza (the Palestinian Authority and Hamas) against Israel. Jihadists smear those whom they seek to conquer as the real “terrorists” (or “racists,” or “Islamophobes”). Yet they incorporate both violent and stealth means as they strive to conquer infidel lands, as they have been doing for over 1400 years. The line of dispute in Jammu and Kashmir and the so-called “occupation” of Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip involve regions of great strategic importance to the respective countries of India and Israel. In fact, India and Pakistan have fought four major wars since India’s independence in 1947, with three directly related to the Kashmir dispute, in 1947-48, 1965, 1971, and 1999. The 1971 war was unrelated to Kashmir; that war led to the creation of Bangladesh. The 1971 war erupted over the Bangladesh liberation movement, which opposed Pakistani rule in East Pakistan, which is now Bangladesh. The goal was to create an independent country, which the war accomplished. In that war, India actively supported Bangladesh.
Jihadists aim to conquer Israel and India, and have been pushing to expand Islamic influence in both. The goal is to establish Sharia law in the respective regions, and ultimately, globally.
As generals of the two nuclear countries, India and Pakistan, exchange words and warnings at a global defense summit about “terrorism,” the big problem is Pakistan, which started this war. The Resistance Front, aka the “Kashmir resistance,” is an offshoot of the jihadist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam that killed 25 Indian citizens. India strongly condemned the terrorist attack, and expressed its resolve to fight terrorism. If India does not stand resolute despite the jihadist barrage of smears calling India “terrorist,” the jihad will continue.
“‘India’s tolerance has limits’: India and Pakistan generals trade warnings at global defence summit over terror, Kashmir,” WION, June 2, 2025:
Senior military leaders from India and Pakistan exchanged sharp remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore over the weekend, highlighting growing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
India’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan and Pakistan’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Sahir Shamshad Mirza addressed separate sessions at the global security summit, which ran from Friday to Sunday.
Their statements came just weeks after India launched Operation Sindoor, a military response to the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which left 26 people dead. New Delhi has blamed Pakistan-based groups for the assault, a claim Islamabad denies.
Referring to Operation Sindoor, General Chauhan said India had drawn a clear line against terrorism. “What India has done, politically, they have drawn a new red line of intolerance against terror,” he said.
“I hope this particular operation, it is basically lying in military domain, that should bring about some lessons for our adversary also, and hopefully they learn that this is a limit of India’s tolerance,” he added.
Chauhan also mentioned the long-standing issue of cross-border terrorism. “We have been subjected to this proxy war of terror for almost two decades and more, and we lost lot of people… we want to put an end to it.”
Pakistan warns of lowered war threshold
General Mirza, speaking at a panel on regional crisis management, argued for moving away from managing tensions to resolving them altogether. “It has become imperative to move beyond conflict management towards conflict resolution. This will ensure sustainable peace and assured crisis management,” he said.He warned that the absence of such a framework could lead to devastating consequences. “Given the Indian policies… the absence of a crisis management mechanism may not give enough time to the global powers to intervene and affect cessation of hostilities. They will probably be too late to avoid damage and destruction.”
Kashmir issue resurfaces
Mirza placed heavy emphasis on Kashmir, calling it the central dispute between the two countries. “When there is no crisis, Kashmir is never discussed… the core that resides between Pakistan and India is Kashmir.”….

Muslims always feel they’re under attack; it’s how they justify always being on the attack. He says, “new red line of intolerance against terror,” and I hope this becomes the policy worldwide. More intolerance, please. Any pol who tells us terrorism is part and parcel of life in a big city should be given a life sentence.

President Trump, who was generally quite popular and loved in India, has seen an inversion of popularity there ever since he intervened to impose a ceasefire. People there are furious at him
⮞ Equating India w/ Pakistan
⮞ Having words of praise for Pakistan and describing them as a friend. Some dug up his tweets from 2012 when he ridiculed the US government for not dinging Pakistan for harboring Osama
⮞ Pressurizing India and Pakistan to sign a ceasefire before the Indian military operation of neutralizing all Pakistani air bases were complete. India is as a result still vulnerable to Pak attacks, and what’s more, Pakistan knows what they have
Some opinion polls have shown Trump’s numbers dropping. I wonder how much is due to his cozying up to countries like Qatar, Turkey, Syria and Pakistan?
