Anti-Israel forum in Malacca draws 10,000
MALACCA: Some 10,000 people, including university students, took part in an anti-Israel forum at MITC in Ayer Keroh yesterday.
The forum was held to protest Israel’s aggression in Gaza and the atrocities against the Palestinians.
A special Palestinian humanitarian fund was launched to collect RM1mil to help the war victims.
Aman Malaysia coordinator Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir told the forum that Israel should be brought before the international war tribunal immediately for the atrocities against infants, children and women.
“I urge Malaysians to boycott US and Israeli goods, in particular goods from Israel that are repackaged in a neighbouring country and imported to Malaysia,” he said.
International Movement for a Just World president Datuk Chandra Muzaffar said the Palestinians were merely trying to fight for their basic human rights.
Malacca Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, who is president of the Malay and Islamic World Secretariat, said Malacca supported the international condemnation of the Zionist regime.
“I hope US president-elect Barack Obama will uphold civil society,” he said.
The participants, including 15 Palestinian youths, later burned an effigy of the Prime Minister of Israel and the country’s flag.

New Dispute About Who Represent The Palestinians
RAMALLAH, Jan 14 (Bernama) -- The Palestinian liberation organization (PLO) declared on Tuesday that the only party who represents Palestinians in any summits is the PLO, and "nobody else", Xinhua news agency reported.
The spokesman of PLO Yasser Abed Rabo said in a press conference after a meeting that "there is one address for Palestine, the PLO and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, and this issue is not for negotiation."
He also said that "the PLO is responsible to represent Palestine is in any meeting through the Arab world or the world in general."
Abed Rabo's remark was made in response to calls from Hamas leaders that the Islamic movement must be represented in the coming Arab summit called by Qatar.
Hamas has said in the past that the PLO must be reformed since it doesn't represent all the Palestinians.
Qatar has sent invitations to all the Arab countries to hold a special Arab summit to discus current situation in Gaza.
The adviser for Abbas, Nabeel Abo Roudaina told journalists on Tuesday that Abbas has accepted Qatar's invitation, and he will participate in the summit.
There were expectations among the PNA leaders that Qatar will invite Hamas leaders for this summit, which maybe resulted in Abbas' boycotting the summit.
Bloody clashes erupted in June, 2007, in Gaza between the two major Palestinian political parties, Hamas and Fatah. During the infighting between the two movements, Hamas drove Fatah's security forces out of Gaza, and the Palestinian territories were then divided into two, the Hamas-ruled Gaza and the West Bank, which is ruled by Abbas' Fatah party.
Fatah leader Azam Alahmad said Tuesday that "The Palestinian leadership will not participate in the Qatar summit if there are attempts to invite any other Palestinian delegations."
However, one of the Hamas leaders in the West Bank told Xinhua that "Hamas, who is suffering in Gaza right now, must be represented in any coming summits."
Regarding the newly emerged dispute, other Palestinian factions said on Tuesday that there is no dispute among Palestinians on who will represent the Palestinians at the coming summit.
Qais Abed Kareem, one of the leaders of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) said, "its known to all that the PLO is the sole representative for the Palestinians in any Arab or international meetings."
He admitted that Hamas is the only Palestinian faction that is suffering in the war with Israel, but he said that any dispute will be solved if there is negotiations between Hamas and other factions before they go to the summit.
According to media reports, 14 Arab states have accepted Qatar' s invitation, a number that is enough for holding an emergency session under the Arab League's charter.
But some Palestinian observers said that the Qatar summit "may not be held, due to disagreements among the Arab countries".
The two heavyweights in the Arab world, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, has announced earlier Tuesday that they will not go to the meeting in Qatar.

1986's riots in KK after demos

Here's the thing .. when you have a demonstration, you are trying to raise public awareness. In order to do that, you need to follow some simple rules. The most basic rule is to make a simple point, and repeat it over and over. If you don't do that, you blunt your own effectiveness, and the people watching on TV only get that you're mad about something, but they don't really get what it is. And so, you end up only talking to people who already know what you are talking about. |
