After Tunisia, it was Egypt. After Egypt went through its baptism of fire and got rid of their dictatorship, it is now Libya’s turn. As the events were unfolding, I was thinking that if this widespread Arab revolt catches momentum, Libya would be caught up in it as well. My thoughts were not too far off the mark after all, although it came sooner than I thought it would.
Once the dictatorship in Libya falls, I sure hope Syria will be next.
I am blogging about this on the occasion of “Blog About Palestine Day”, in response to the call made by Tok Mudin and reaffirming my solidarity with the Palestinian cause and Palestinians in general. Indeed, I am not alien to the issue of Islam and the Problem of Israel (here is one example on how attuned I am to the Palestinian cause) because to me, the solution is universal: to regain the dignity of a people who were expelled from their lands at the expense of others. It is a struggle reminiscent of the days when the British wanted to impose a “Malayan Union” on (then known as) Malaya at the expense of its native population. There was no such thing as an “Israel” before the An-Nakba of 1948 and certainly “Israel” have no right to exist, as they are a modern European invention consisting of people who were immigrants from Europe.
Coming from a former Foreign Minister, it is a real shame that the Home Affairs Ministry is allowing citizens from the Tel Aviv regime to enter this country. I agree with the call made by the President of TERAS that under no circumstances should any citizen from a nation which endorses State Terrorism and Apartheid as its core ideologies be allowed to enter here under whatever pretext. This is to show our solidarity and compassion with our brothers and sisters in the West Bank and especially in Gaza, where they are currently under a terrible seige and assault by the IOF (Israeli Occupational Forces).
I hope someone will actually knock some sense into the Minister in question before making decisions which demeans and even jeopardise our principles concerning the Palestinian cause.
This war criminal has the blood of a few million Muslims on his hands, yet the autocrats and dictators of the Middle East have the cheek to greet him with open arms.
Why not just stick that sword into him? At the same time the mass murderer is admiring those steel blades with his cohorts, this is happening in Gaza.
