COMMENT | From Malaysia to Gaza
COMMENT | It would be remiss to speak of Malaysia’s support for the Palestinian cause without referring to Dr Ang Swee Chai’s experience as an orthopaedic surgeon serving in al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
Beautifully narrated in her “love letter”, 'From Beirut to Jerusalem', her experience is instrumental in reminding Malaysians how global humanitarian struggles provide the chance for us to strengthen our voices in unison to defend justice regardless of our colour and faith.
It has been more than a month since the ongoing Israeli atrocities in Palestine. More than 4,500 dead children, and 3,000 women - civilians, journalists, UN staff and healthcare workers, were recorded in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
In total, more than 10,000 Palestinian lives have been lost, with more than 1.5 million displaced due to the continuous bombardment of UN Refugee Schools (UNRWA), hospitals, churches, and mosques, including repeated attacks on refugee camps.
Rightly said.From statements we read from islamic nations; Hamas is not a terrorist organisation but the government of Gaza and Fatah is the government of West Bank.So we have Palestine Gaza and Palestine West Bank. Since Palestine Gaza does not recognise Israel and infiltrated and murdered Israelis and foreigners in Israel; the aggressive retaliation without any hope of ceasefire is Israel's right of defense. The international community has no right to stop Israel and any hope of a ceasefire can only come if Hamas releases every hostage and lays down its weapons and surrender.If this is not forthcoming I fear at least 100,000 palestinians will be dead by this December.PMX must take the lead to convince Hamas to surrender and not just talk.Just like his famous Talk Only No Action Policy here.
