Anwar Ibrahim at Doha, Qatar: Palestanian and Zionists issue

0 comments Posted by faizul hadi at 4:09 PM


It comes as no surprise that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim got into trouble with the federal government and Umno when he came out stating that he would support a final resolution to begin lifting sanctions against Israel. After all, there are already Malaysians booing Israeli footballers. And Malaysia was not the first nation to start discriminating against Jews, Zionists and Israel, all three of which I look upon separately. Heck, don’t look at Germany alone. If one were to head to MPH, you can find a collection of anti-Semitic articles written by Henry Ford, the person who started the Ford Motor Group ages ago called “The International Jew”, which is available in four volumes.  Personally, I have no agenda against the Jews. After all, from a Muslim perspective all you have to remind yourself is the knowledge that the last prophet was granted to the descendants of Ismail and not that of Ishak. However, be reminded fellow Muslims that both sons, who gave birth to the Arabs and the Jews, did come together to bury their father Abraham regardless of whatever disputes they had. That being said, let’s talk a bit about Israel and the truth about Malaysia’s relationship with the country. Israel has been lobbying for Malaysia to recognise them and begin relations through diplomacy and trade. In fact, from an online document from the Centre of Jewish Affairs forwarded to me by a friend, it seems clear that it is not the Malaysian head of the opposition who is wrong, but our federal government which would rather continue this policy of bedevilling the Zionists than tell the Malaysian people the truth. It is easy to blame the Zionists and state that the Jews “owned everything”, a trademark of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s constant speeches to the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), especially during the economic crisis when George Soros was blamed for everything. Funnily enough, nobody stood up to blame Soros a decade later during the current economic downturn. After all, if one were to watch a documentary called “Inside Job” you will see Soros denying any involvement by stating that he is an “old school” person who did not believe in the US system. It is even more disturbing when you see a picture of Mahathir being friendly with Soros, as posted by Jeff Ooi on his blog years after. We have been trading with Israel for some time already. We have been sending Malaysians — royals, business leaders and students — at one point to Israel for some time now. In fact, until the period of Mahathir’s 23 years in office as prime minister, our bilateral ties were honestly quite diplomatic but not done within our own borders. Only during the period of Mahathir did it become a nationwide condemnation of the Israelis. And now, people within Umno are stating that should Anwar win, Israel could open a consul in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, some are already hooting that due to this so-called gaffe of his, Umno can now win back Kedah and Kelantan. Really? Allow me to dampen your glee, fellow Umno people. Let’s take a look at the European Commission’s trade website which details Israel’s trade with the world. According to their charts, Malaysia imports €63.9 million (RM255 million) from Israel, exports €603.7 million to Israel and Malaysia was in fact the 15th largest trade partner of Israel in 2010. Prime Minister Najib Razak and his government took office when, exactly? In fact, if we were to go back further, were we doing business with Israel even when Mahathir was prime minister? According to a paper available online at the Institute of Jewish Affairs website which was published in October 2006, there was the notion of trade with Israel from Malaysia’s side during the Mahathir administration in 1993, and only in mid-January 1996 there began the insinuation of Malaysian trade with Israel, of which it was noted to have “no political significance.” But what is worth noting is this paragraph from the article: “In mid-February 1996, however, a Malaysian businessman visited Israel to discuss co-operation between Israeli and Malaysian companies. In late March, a delegation of Malaysian businessmen came to Israel and held talks with heads of chambers of commerce. Although Malaysia’s official boycott of Israeli products still stood, the head of the Malaysian delegation said he had been authorised by the minister of industry and trade. In early May the Israeli Port Authority sponsored an international conference, and a 16-member Malaysian delegation attended with government approval.” As such, I raise the question again. Who exactly is helping the Zionists? It is not Anwar Ibrahim, but instead our own federal government, which continues to bask in its constant hypocrisy of using the words of the opposition leader against him while they claim brownie points. ~Hafidz Baharom~ from malaysianinsider.

Anwar Ibrahim - Palestine Solidarity Night

0 comments Posted by faizul hadi at 7:54 AM



Whenever news on the Gaza attack by the Israeli forces was broadcast, J. I. Kamal would be a picture of sadness, pain and distraught. The incessant shelling, indiscriminate killing and the sanctions and the blockade on the Palestinian people. He should only know the situation, too well. In fact, better than most of us. He is a Palestinian. All the visuals, all the news are too difficult to bear. But we have to keep ourselves informed with the latest development in Palestine. What is even worse now is that communication with our families back home has become more difficult with the recent attack on our homeland. The only comfort was hearing from our family but that was only temporary before the anxiety resumed. At Anwar Ibrahim speech, he said that he will support Obama if he want to stop the war between the Israel and Palestine. But, we will wait the Obama action first. Hopefully he will not follow the criminal leader likes in Bush era.

Pain of the Palestinians (Documentary 2006)

Whenever news on the Gaza attack by the Israeli forces was broadcast, J. I. Kamal would be a picture of sadness, pain and distraught. The incessant shelling, indiscriminate killing and the sanctions and the blockade on the Palestinian people. He should only know the situation, too well. In fact, better than most of us. He is a Palestinian.

“All the visuals, all the news are too difficult to bear. But we have to keep ourselves informed with the latest development in Palestine. “What is even worse now is that communication with our families back home has become more difficult with the recent attack on our homeland. “The only comfort was hearing from our family but that was only temporary before the anxiety resumed,” Kamal told Bernama when met at the “Save the Palestinians – Coalition of Malaysia NGOs Against Prosecution of Palestine’ gathering here today. The 36-year-old English teacher has been in Kuala Lumpur for the past 16 months, pursuing a PhD in Education at the International Islamic University.

Kamal, who was born and raised at the Balata refugee camp, the largest refugee camp in the West Bank, which is now “home” to about 30,000 refugees, also disclosed how he was thrown in prison and tortured thrice by the oppressor – all because he is Palestinian. “It is indescribable and unimaginable how our lives are, living as refugees in our own land. We have been humiliated too many times,” he said. Despite the psychological torture, Kamal said the Palestinians stood strong and would defeat their oppressors one day.

He was also overwhelmed with the support Malaysians showed for the struggle of the Palestinian people, adding that it would boost his people’s spirit to continue with their struggle. “They will never be able to break our spirit. We will prevail. There is hope and our hope is to live in our own land one day, peacefully like other countries,” he said. Fellow Palestinian Dr Ma’an Fahmi Al-Khatib yearns for the day when he can step on Palestine soil. “I dream of a free Palestine when I can return to the land of my ancestors,” he said.

Like millions of his generations, Dr Ma’an who was born in Jordan after his parents fled Jerusalem in 1948, was never allowed to return to Palestine. “... and although my immediate family is in Jordan, we still have many relatives in Palestine. It is just impossible, just to even visit,” said Ma’an who has been living here for the past 10 years. – Bernama

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim: GAZA di sidang parlimen

2 comments Posted by faizul hadi at 10:47 PM



KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 — Malaysian MPs agreed unanimously to condemn Israel’s incursion into Gaza. Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim proposed that the US ambassador should be summoned by the Malaysian government, in order to register the people’s objection to the support given by the Bush administration to Israel. “It is Malaysia’s hope that President-elect Barack Obama will be fair to the Palestinians as it is clear that he vehemently supports Israel.

“Malaysians of all races from various parties have shown their utter disgust to an administration which has sided with war criminals and were appalled by the lackadaisical attitude of the Arab leaders in championing their people,” he said. He was speaking at the special sitting of the Dewan Rakyat to debate a resolution against the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. Anwar (PKR-Permatang Pauh) also proposed that Malaysia initiate a move along with Brunei and Indonesia, to make a stand against violence and genocide.

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (PAS-Marang) said Malaysia should take Israel to the international court for contravening the international law. Penang Deputy Chief Minister and DAP secretary-general Dr P. Ramasamy (DAP-Batu Kawan) said Israel should be labelled a terrorist state for taking a unilateral action to perpetuate its stranglehold on Palestine. “We must talk to the European Union, Russia and other big powers to resolve the problem as the United Nations has failed to address the issue,” he said. Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin (BN-Rembau) described the Palestinian issue as a global problem which could only be solved by the international community.

“The first step to resolve the problem is by imposing a ceasefire,” he said, adding that the world community should apply pressure on Israel, not excluding economic sanctions. Khairy also proposed that a peacekeeping force be dispatched to the Gaza Strip to protect civilians from being victimised by the Zionist regime. Datuk Ibrahim Ali (Independent-Pasir Mas) proposed that civil servants make a salary cut equivalent to one day’s work to be contributed to the Palestinian Fund.
