Good to see a young Palestinian scholar write on Balochistan. It is an old and natural bond, those who know the history BSO, also know that on each congress there used to be communiqué from Palestine. The kind of internationalism that we need to revive. Solid suggestions.
"Rather than having clientelistic relationships, we need alliances built among oppressed sections on an equal footing. From Catalonia to Palestine, Kurdistan to Balochistan and further – that is really important."

@IsJalebi@KarakMufti Why are protests against Israel not allowed in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, and why are protesters arrested?

@KarakMufti @Baloch_sajid6 The Baloch movement isn't as explicitly internationalist today, but during the heyday of thirdworldism it did look towards Palestine, just like almost all revolutionary movements did at the time. See excerpts below from Selig Harrison's In Afhganistan's Shadow 👇
@HakeemWadhela Dear Hakeem. Thank you for this thoughtful response, which I agree with wholeheartedly. The article includes an example of what you mention in your last paragraph, but other examples can and should be mentioned and criticised.
A Palestinian writer wrote a piece on Israel's attempts to co-opt the Baloch struggle, in which he is asking Palestinians to build a close anti-colonial alliance with Baloch, but dimwits, including ARY, are distorting the message to suit their own agendas.
@Razarumi Please see added context here. I kindly request that your delete this tweet since it does not clearly include the context of the statement.

@Niaz_Zehri Thank you for your clarification. I also clarified in this tweet that I was referring to a lack of consensus on the issue of the recent declaration of independence, not on the issue of a free or independent Balochistan in its entirety.

I never claimed what Wajahat is trying to state in the below tweet and I wholeheartedly reject and condemn ARY's distortion of the article in this way.
Big news! Al Jazeera claims that Israel is handling the Baloch separatist movements. The foundation was reportedly laid by an Israeli intelligence officer.
@KarakMufti Baloch leader Dr. Allah nazar always mentions Palestine in his speeches. This video is from twenty years ago when he was a leader of a student organization. Here he is saying,
Our Baloch sisters should play a role in defending their homeland like Leila Khaled
Additionally one would expect a journo who feels emboldened to tweet in English to have basic reading comprehension.
To hijack means to attempt to steal something from its rightful owners. It does not imply direct or indirect involvement in the thing, nor does it imply support.
The purpose of the article was to point out that Israeli & Indian propaganda efforts are weak & out of touch, that they do not represent voices on the ground, and that Palestinians should see through the propaganda and build regional anticolonial alliances with the Baloch mvmnt.
@Farhadwbaloc And at a secondary level to criticise Palestinian leadership for falling for this trap repeatedly. Otherwise, I am grateful for your crucial contribution to this dialogue.
@Farhadwbaloc Dear Farhad. Thank you for this thread and your kind invitation, which I humbly accept. I am in agreement with all of your points. I wrote the article as a criticism of Israel for using an irrelevant persona to create a false narrative that only benefits itself.
