Believe it or not IMO, Israel - the state is very much similar to a jewish Pakistan. No offense to either Israeli or Pakistani people as such.
Both were created on a political religious ideology - the only states created by partitioning the regions by the British. Creation of both countries was opposed by the orthodox and traditional Muslim and Jewish scholars for Pakistan and Israel respectively. Both depend on American and are top recipients of aid both civilian and extensive military aid. Both have committed huge crimes and get hardly a rap from the US because of their strategic interests met by them. And increasingly both countries have a dangerous level of loony religious right in the govt. and army. And until the 1970s when Israel enforced the compulsory military service, the Israeli state supported "non- state actors" (i.e. terrorists groups) to get rid of Palestinians in the land under their control. This why you keep hearing about the right of return of refugees for Palestinians. We had a similar situation where non-Muslims were ethnically cleansed from Pakistan.
While the Pakistani Army has a state, in Israel the army IS the state. Both countries are not confident in their existence. Although India has repeatedly assured Pakistan that it recognizes it as a separate country, you have the regular complains that "India has not accepted the reality of Pakistan" and wants "Akhand Bharat". Similarly, even thought the Arab peace plan led by Saudi Arabia and now recently HAMAS itself has said that we will recognize Israel fully and establish diplomatic relations as per the 1967 borders but Israeli officials still continue to claim that they deny Israel's right to exist. Bot claim that acting in a lunatic manner actually shows how brave they are, the case of Pakistan is well known, but did you know that the Israeli defense minister before the 2008-2009 Gaza raids said that "We have to act like a lunatic state so that the Arabs are scared of us". The scary thing is both posses nuclear weapons as well.
Of course there are differences as well but the similarities are striking.
