Critical Thoughts

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.
