and also is anti-pak

Why should Israel be anti-Pak. Their intelligence agencies have covert contacts and as recently as under Musharraf's time, both countries were on the path to normalizing ties.
Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan

From the real-politik point of view, whenever GoP can put aside the baggage of religious ideology in international relations and realise the benefit of havinga relationship with Israel, there is no reason why Israel should not jump and grab the opportunity for normalizing relationship with one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. It would be a propaganda coup and quite beneficial for Israeli interests vis a vis Palestine.

Here is a really good research paper documenting the ups and downs of the hidden Israel-Pakistan relationship.
Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan


As people have pointed out, there are no permanent allies or enemies. Only permanent interests.

So you should begin first by defining what these interests are,
The could be things like
(1) Trade - The GCC countries would be the biggest bloc with $120 Billion followed by EU at $90 Billion
(2) Energy supplies - Again West Asia would figure here
(3) Arms supplies - According to SIPRI, Russia continues to be our top most supplier by far followed closely by Israel with US catching up and possibly becoming number 2. France is another important partner
(4)Technology transfer - Russia ofcourse is an important partner. But the US, Germany, France and Israel all play important roles not necessarily in that order.
e.t.c.

Then compare which countries provide is with the best combination of these interests and that would like up your most important partners that we should take care of.

When 'mighty' Israel gets scared of 'nuclear' Iran, which is many times less aggressive than the Zionists, one cannot help but call them Cowards. Ofcourse, other cowards may disagree.
Ahmedinejad openly shouts Slogan's of "Death to Israel" during public Rally's,Have you ever saw that ? you call them less aggressive

Israel for over 60 year's of its existence has survived all odds , surrounded by Hostile regime's and Terror groups who want to eliminate the country out of the map, I want call such country a Coward

Truth be told, neither did Iran threaten to nuke Israel, nor did Pakistan ever hide their intention of nuking India at the drop of a hat, in the smallest of pretext. Do your homework, kid

Persia/Iran has not attacked anyone for thousands of years while Israel, your favourite peace loving country wages wars on civilians and terrorists alike every year. They bomb them with phosphorous bombs; do you know what these bombs are? Do read up.
All this while Iran only does rhetoric. They have not done one tangible thing which one can prove to be an act backing up their rhetoric. Propaganda cannot be treated as evidence, you'd do well to know the difference between them.

It did not condemn our nuke test and also appreciated us saying india's reason to get nukes was the same as theirs.
Do you guys agree that Israel is our only ally?

The end of the Cold War significantly affected India's foreign policy, as it did for much of the world. The country now seeks to strengthen its diplomatic and economic ties with the United States,[22] the People's Republic of China, the European Union, Japan, Israel, Mexico, and Brazil. India has also forged close ties with the member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations,[29] the African Union,[30] the Arab League[31] and Iran.Though India continues to have a military relationship with Russia, Israel has emerged as India's second largest military partner while India has built a strong strategic partnership with the United States. The Indo-US civilian nuclear agreement, signed and implemented in 2008, highlighted the growing sophistication of the Indo-American relations.[35]

India's growing economy, strategic location, friendly foreign policy and large and vibrant diaspora has won it more allies than enemies.[60] India has friendly relations with several countries in the developing world. Though India is not a part of any major military alliance, it has close strategic and military relationship with most of the major powers.Countries considered India's closest include the Russian Federation,[61] Israel,[62] Afghanistan,[63] France,[64] Bhutan[65] and Bangladesh.[66] Russia is the largest supplier of military equipment to India, followed by Israel and France.[67] According to some analysts, Israel is set to overtake Russia as India's largest military and strategic partner.[68] The two countries also collaborate extensively in the sphere of counter-terrorism and space technology.[69] India also enjoys strong military relations with several other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States,[70] Japan,[71] Singapore, Brazil, South Africa and Italy.[72] In addition, India operates an airbase in Tajikistan[73] and signed a landmark defense accord with Qatar in 2008.[74]
India has also forged relationships with developing countries, especially South Africa, Brazil,[75] and Mexico.[76] These countries often represent the interests of the developing countries through economic forums such as the G8+5, IBSA and WTO. India was seen as one of the standard bearers of the developing world and claimed to speak for a collection of more than 30 other developing nations at the Doha Development Round.[77][78] India's "Look East" Policy has helped it develop greater economic and strategic partnership with Southeast Asian countries, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. India also enjoys friendly relations with the Persian Gulf countries and most members of the African Union.

How is Israel an ally of India?

They are a good weapons supplier.

Apart from that anything they are doing that one does not know to be termed as an ally?

Israel, France and Russia are the only countries that has helped India even during sanctions, with military hardware.

And they are rewarded, well. And I like that.

If you'd call Israel a brother, what would you have called the USSR?

And about money buying friends, sure they can, false friends like Israel that is. Just watch out for their anti-India stance once Yanks-Jews invade Iran and India issues a condemnation.

As per my observations of International politics, what i have concluded is that governments of all round the world do not have friends or allies they only have interests... and if it is in any nation's interest to help India.. they will help us, but if it is not in their interest then they will not...

Our Policy is "ekla chalo re" :lol:

2-3 decades are very short time to build international relation. In last 65 years, We can say Russia, France and Israel are 3 most trustworthy allies. Majority of Indians like these countries and there is no hatred or animosity too. There may be some common and vested interest too but at least these three are friends of our country as of now.
