1. Shadman is not the only Bangladeshi friendly to Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.25.18)
A few years ago there was a journalist in Bangladesh that wrote favorably of Israel all the time. He was severely persecuted, tortured and thrown in jail. Not sure if he is still alive.

I myself met a highly educated Bangladeshi who expressed his great admiration for Israel.

when the Arabs went to the east to trade they brought Islam. they also transformed nice people into Jew haters and a culture of killing each other. pity.
3. Israel you got to know you try to hard,,,

and those that are non Jew, non Israeli that kiss up to you, their lives are ruined forever even amongst their kith, kin and country. Bangladeshis are some nice people and they really don't give a damn about Israel but Israel will make the case.
4. A Jewish General helped in the formation of Bangladesh.
Ajay (India) ,   Mumbai   (01.29.18)
It was a Jewish General of the Indian army, General Jacobs, that helped in the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. It is sad that in Bangladesh they are taught to hate Jews.
5. There were Jews in Bangladesh

My message to Dr. Zaman... there were a few Jews living in Bangladesh - in Chittagong, Cox's Bazaar, Rajshahi and Dhaka. If you want to know about the Jews of Bangladesh, please email me at joe.edward@gmail.com

Shalom

Your words are very kind and appreciated. I admit that it has taken me a long time to understand that someone being Muslim did not immediately equate with them hating me. Posts like yours give me tremendous hope that we can all live together in mutual respect and even admiration. I hope that you get everything you wish for and more my friend. Best wishes.
