While Pakistan sees itself as the nemesis of the Jewish State, one cannot help to note the numerous similarities between the two states. Here are a few.
1. Both countries came into existence as an aftermath of the second World War and were earlier parts of the British Empire.
2. The creation of both involved partition that was opposed by many.
3. Both countries maintain hostile relations with their respective severed parts.
4. Both occupy territory claimed by others.
5. Both states were created on the basis of religion; as a homeland for communities that were perceived to be vulnerable.
6. Both are nuclear powers and have formidable armies, as well as (in)famous intelligence agencies.
7. During the formation of both countries a huge number of people were brought in to settle from elsewhere.
8. Both have been strategic allies of the United States of America.
9. Both countries have been victims of terrorism, and at the same time been accused by certain countries to harbor the same.
Of course, there are many differences but listing those wouldn't be as interesting!
