This may be true, but the individualistic nature of Western societies means they will always tend to look to their own economic growth, survival and stability over the needs of others. Nothing will change, except possibly poverty and instability in the developing countries may encourage extremism and then the West will react, but possibly not in very constructive ways.

Pakistan has long been considered the Taliban's closest state benefactor since the group's inception. The relationship has largely endured through the Taliban's time in and out of power in Afghanistan, but since August 2021, relations seem to have deteriorated sharply. In this video, we take a look at the history between the Taliban and Pakistan, why things are getting worse, and how Pakistan's Taliban strategy backfired.
Pakistan originally supported Taliban and other radical groups to destabilize and extend their influence in central Asia, in the heyday of their power when Pakistan was a country growing economically. They used Islam more and more as a national glue, to counteract the strong divisive tendences of the several ethnic groups composing the country (one of which had succeeded, giving birth to Bangladesh).
American support for Pakistan was an utterly catastrophic mistake
I hope we cut ties with them and become strong friends with India.
Irony that Pakistan rejects Indias border cus it was drawn by the brits, but when Afghanistan says the same, now its an issue. Also 1.7 million is same as population of Gaza, Im not defending Israel, but Pakistan cant do the same thing at same time,
Pakistan security forces killed four militants in a shootout during an overnight raid in the country’s northwest near the border with Afghanistan, the military has said.A military statement said on Sunday security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in the Khaisoor area of North Waziristan district, where they exchanged fire with militants.It said troops seized weapons and ammunition from the militants’ hideout.The military said one of the most wanted militant commanders, identified by the single name of Ibrahim, was among the dead, all of whom were involved in attacks on security forces and civilians.Troops were carrying out sanitisation of the surrounding areas to eliminate any hiding militants, it said.Attacks continue occasionallyNorth Waziristan served for decades as a safe haven for militants until the military carried out a major operation after an attack on an army-run school in Peshawar in 2014 killed more than 150 people, mostly schoolchildren.The army announced after the yearslong operation that it had cleared the region of militants, but attacks continue occasionally, raising concerns that the local Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, found sanctuaries in Afghanistan and are regrouping in the area.The Pakistani Taliban are a separate group but allies of the Afghan Taliban, which seized power in Afghanistan in 2021 as the US and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout after 20 years of war.
Taking the floor on behalf of Pakistan, Minister for Law and Justice Ahmed Irfan Aslam says that while Israel has sought to make its occupation of Palestinian territories irreversible, history shows that reversibility is possible.
Pakistan ! Yes ! Your voice has always been strong on the Palestinian issue !
