If you make India more stronger and Pakistan more unstable and weaker, would you get Israel-Palestine situation?

Recent South Asian tensions got me wondering if these two conflicts are similar.

Not sure what you mean by 'weaker. As long as Pakistan has it's nuclear capability, there will be big differences between Israel-Palestine and India-Pakistan in the nature of the interactions between Governments and in the nature of military campaigns.

Yes, I meant taking away the nuclear capabilities.

I think it's the same type of conflict, only difference is that Pakistan is more stable, powerful, and capable of doing sizable harm to its neighbor and this makes the region more stable.

The bases for the conflicts are similar, though there isn't the added problem of the disputed territory also being much of a "holy land" for either Muslims of Hindus. Would a weaker Pakistani government overtly support terrorism? I couldn't guess.

I think if Pakistan goes all unstable and weaker it would be no more than Palestine under Hamas.

I was thinking about all (active and popular) world conflicts that are due to territorial disputes, cultural differences, and political motives. Saw some similarities between these two conflicts.
N.Korea vs S.Korea is the other one but I wonder if it is similar to the other two.

1. What is the history behind the conflicts between Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine?

The conflicts between Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine have deep historical roots. In the case of Indo-Pak, it can be traced back to the partition of British India in 1947, when Pakistan was created as a separate Muslim state. This partition resulted in widespread violence and displacement, and the two countries have since engaged in multiple wars and border disputes. The Israel-Palestine conflict, on the other hand, can be traced back to the early 20th century when Zionist Jews began immigrating to Palestine in large numbers, leading to tensions with the Arab population. The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 further escalated the conflict, and it continues to this day.

2. What are the main issues at the heart of the Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine conflicts?

The main issues at the heart of these conflicts are territorial disputes and religious differences. In the case of Indo-Pak, the two countries have long-standing disputes over the ownership of the Kashmir region, which has resulted in multiple wars and ongoing tensions. The Israel-Palestine conflict, on the other hand, is primarily driven by the competing claims to land and resources in the region, as well as religious and cultural differences between the Jewish and Palestinian populations.

3. How have other countries and international organizations been involved in these conflicts?

Both Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine have received significant attention and involvement from other countries and international organizations. In the case of Indo-Pak, the United Nations has been involved in mediating peace talks and monitoring the ceasefire agreements between the two countries. Numerous countries, including the United States and China, have also played a role in attempting to facilitate peace between the two nations. The Israel-Palestine conflict has also received international attention, with the United Nations playing a key role in peace negotiations and providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians. Other countries, such as the United States and many European nations, have also been involved in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.

4. How has the Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine conflicts impacted the people living in these regions?

The conflicts between Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine have had a devastating impact on the people living in these regions. Both conflicts have resulted in displacement, violence, and loss of life for civilians. In the case of Indo-Pak, the ongoing tensions and border disputes have also hindered economic development and stability in the region. The Israel-Palestine conflict has led to the displacement of millions of Palestinians and ongoing human rights violations, including access to basic resources such as water and healthcare.

5. Is there any hope for resolution in the Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine conflicts?

While the conflicts between Indo-Pak and Israel-Palestine have been ongoing for decades, there is still hope for resolution. Both conflicts have seen periods of relative peace and attempts at negotiation, but a lasting solution has yet to be achieved. The international community continues to work towards finding a peaceful resolution, and there have been some promising developments in recent years. Ultimately, it will require a commitment from all involved parties to engage in open and honest dialogue and a willingness to compromise in order to achieve lasting peace.
