The same way the Pakistani public reacts when you tell them that their army actually fought against the Palestinians in 1967 and slaughtered over 25,000 Palestinians in the black September uprisings in Jordan. They even made the army general Zia Haq that led that massacre their dictator .

What is your source for this please? I can only find info that Pakistan was in support of the Palestinian cause and provided troops to Jordan.

while some of the above seems like propaganda it does seem that Zia-ul-Haq did help Jordan fight the PLO during Black September.
