As you can tell from what all the Singaporeans here - including myself - are saying, it's very obvious that the writers and producers of the video have no idea the lengths to which we ended up with this diplomatic relationship with Israel. Even the western world - including the UK which left a defence vacuum here - did not bother to build up a national defence strategy before leaving. Guess who stepped up? The only country that did has our gratitude for their assistance at a very crucial stage in our country's development. Perhaps if you other countries stepped up in place, things may be a lot more different. But you didn't, and I'll even bet you could not be bothered to read up on our history.

Our ex-Prime Minister LKY had said all these in his books. These are not secrets. Singapore is friendly to all nations and our stand is always to respect race, language and religions. This is very dominant in our society. When Singapore got its independence, Singapore had asked Britain, US, India, Egypt and other non-communist countries to help build up an army but none responded until Israel come into the picture. Yes our initial build-up were Israeli orientated as the army advisors came from there. Then the British stepped in to help train our air force and the US trained our navy. In the modern world today, Singapore will go to any country who offers training to our SAF. There is no peculiar country that Singapore is aligned to. The SAF sent officers world-wide to get the training required to build up the SAF - Sweden, Germany, France, US, Australia, Britain, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Brunei and many more countries. Singapore had many friends and best friends not just one. So now you should understand the Singapore stance. Like our national motto and the significance of our flag, we respect all races, language and religion. We believe in justice, peace and equality.

1. Israel wasn't the first country Sg turned to for defence training. Egypt and India turned us down. 2. Israel's contribution to the building of our defence was significant and came at a critical time. 3. Sg's defence has since evolved independently of Israeli influence. The geopolitical sensitivity in 1965 is more intense today. Hence caution should be exercised in the evaluation of views on Sg-Israel relations. Singapore does not take sides, even though we remember the debt of gratitude. We support a 2-state resolution to the current conflict in Gaza. Any suggestion that we are wont to take sides is dangerous. We maintain our sovereignty and insistence on compliance with international law, eschew terrorism and support humanitarian efforts. This is our position in the present conflict. As citizens we also respect fellow Singaporeans who have more sympathy for Israelis or Palestinians.

At early nation building stage of an impoverished and a tiny Singapore, no one is interested in lending a helping hand when first PM Mr.LKY requested for assistances except Israel. The willingness of Israel to extend a helping hand in secret had make it possible for Singapore to survive and continue to thrive in mid of a hostile geopolitical environment after British left. A lesson to learn here is that a real true friend would come to you in time of needs, not in time of rich. 🤫🤫

Singapore is an independent country who can choose which country to have bilateral relationship with. Hence, do not make propaganda with suspicious when we have bilateral relationship with a particular nation. In fact, Singapore values friendly relationships with any like minded nations so as to establish mutual benefits in term of trade, economy, technology etc to benefit the people of the nation. Singapore is and always be a neutral country and its stance in the world today as a tiny nation in our foreign policy is not to take sides with any nations big or small but to work closely with any nations as partners to leverage on each other strengths to enable each country to benefit from each other to let its people live in peace, harmony and prosperity.

A root of co operation between the two countries could be attributed to the active Jewish community in Singapore. Singapore's road to independence from the British in the 50s was championed by a Singapore Jew , David Marshall. As Chief Minister , he was active in Singapore Politics. He failed in getting the British to let go Singapore. After Mr.Lee replaced him , Mr.Lee succeeded. But the Jewish influences were strong. 1965 separation from Malaysia, with Malaysia boasting of Malaysian military control up and down Singapore, to the needs of setting up an independent Singapore military , excluded from Malaysian influences, Israel became the ready go to to help Singapore's needs. The link has had to do with the Singapore Jewish Community and the active political nature.
@weikwanglee43836 ай бұрын
@Booz2010 aha. Jews were never a country. You have the wrong view of Jewish existence. Jews , after generations in their host countries are still not assimilate into host people. They are Jews first. This explains Jewish power in money. Their soul preoccupation representing Jews power. You need to factor in the success of Mossad. Without Jewish community, Mossad won't be that effective. Next , Palestine & Palestinians. I have a haunting thought. Jews don't like Palestinians because they are descendants of the real Jews who have converted to Islam. The present Jews with mixed European blood calling the shots are totally different from the biblical Jews. Palestinians have more ethic claims to the Jewish blood. Hence, the bloodshed.

While I agree that the reaction from Singapore's neighbours were rather extreme, from their perspective, they are seeing their neighbour trying to befriend a terrorist, or someone they feel that is a 'bad person'. I'm sure you would say something if your friends started mixing with people whome you feel are bad company and bad influences as well. So while the reaction and outrage may be too much, it is not without good reason, at least from their perspective.
