A renowned human rights activist has warned Pakistani Christians against publicly supporting Israel and provoking a backlash from Muslims as tensions flare between Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli military.
“Irrespective of your religious teachings, remember that as citizens of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, your first loyalty is with the state, which doesn’t recognize Israel as a state. Showing such allegiance can cause you to stumble,” said Mary James Gill, director of the Center for Law and Justice, in a notification issued on May 12.
