Response on Khairy’s protest against Israel
When you said, you support Palestinians since it is concerning humanitarian and economic issues. My question is: where were you when you heard of all the voices of your own people, crying out to the government asking for political justice and equal treatment. I am sure you must be aware of the actions of your own party and how your fellow Malaysians have suffered the violence of various actions and racist remarks coming from your party.
I was reading the news regarding how Khairy Jamaluddin led a group of people protesting outside Palestine embassy to show their support on Palestine due to the air strike from Israel.
"I am here to tell you that we, Malaysians – Muslims and non-Muslims – want to show our support to the Palestinians as this is concerning humanitarian and economic issues. This is about unity, freedom and justice of the Palestinians," said Khairy. Quoted from "Protest against Israel turns into war of words", Malaysiakini.com, Jan 2, 2009.
Based on what you said, I have several questions for you, Khairy,
When you said, you support Palestinians since it is concerning humanitarian and economic issues. My question is: where were you when you heard of all the voices of your own people, crying out to the government asking for political justice and equal treatment. I am sure you must be aware of the actions of your own party and how your fellow Malaysians have suffered the violence of various actions and racist remarks coming from your party. SO my question to you is: are you showing favoritism toward Palestinians, but not lending your hands out to all victims of the current BN's policies? They would love to have you fight for them too!
When you said, you support Palestine, in addition to the RM100,000 humanitarian aid, did you also mean that you support every form of actions Palestine (or actually Hamas) has been taking against Israel, for instance the multiple suicide bombings and the infringement in the cease-fire truce with Israel, and also their plan to take further revenge against Israel, to kill more civilians?
Do you really know what led to the chaos in Gaza? What made Israel carry out the assault? Have you looked into the history of the conflict? Imagine of this scenario. If Sabahans get so frustrated with Filipinos and start attacking the incoming illegal labors, and Philippines government launches an attack, with the support of her allies, against Malaysia. Would you condemn the behaviors of her allies for being ignorant of the problems the incoming illegal Filipinos have posed to the local Sabahans? So, have you ever wondered why Hamas is named terrorist by so many countries?
What's your claim of "support from Malaysians – Muslims and non-Muslims" based on? You got the signatures from majority of Malaysians? Who are you to represent all of us? You were being a fool of yourself! Be realistic, you are not favorable by many Malaysians, including the fellows of your own party. Allow me to borrow a line from Fong Poh Kuan, MP of Batu Gajah, "find a mirror or a pail of water to see yourself". Really, you need a thorough introspection!
Did you apply the permit for this protest? Where were the police? Shouldn't they have arrested you because of the potential risk the protest could have posed to the national security? Not everyone in Malaysia is pro-Palestine! Don't get me wrong, I did not oppose the protest since Malaysians should have the rights to hold a gathering without arms. I was just deeply disappointed of the double standard held by our government. Could you please help me to verify this?
Thank you!
