GAZA: It is not the 'Yahudi' but the Israel government/people and the Zionist

The Palestinian struggle is not just a Muslim struggle - it is the struggle of the Palestinian people, and they are a multi-religious people. The Palestinians are Muslims (the majority), Christians and Jews.

Many years ago, I had the opportunity to see Yasser Araffat, the leader of the Palestinian people then when he came down to Kuala Lumpur. Of course UMNO Youth were close to the stage shouting slogans about Muslim struggle and 'jihad' but Araffat, when he came to the mike clarified that it was the struggle of the Palestinian people - and should not be made into the struggle of just any one religious group.

It is a struggle of the Palestinian people...it is a struggle of Muslims, Christians and Jews (and all other people) for justice.

On the other side, we have the Israelites (i.e. the people of Israel), the Israeli government ... the Zionist regime which are the perpetrators of human rights of the people of Palestine.

It thus saddens me when even RTM 1 still makes it out that the pepetrators are 'Yahudi' (jews) - for this is very ignorant and wrong.

Let us at least in Malaysia get it right in our newspapers and electronic media - i.e. it is the Israelites (orang Israel), the Israel government, the Zionist regime... that are commiting great human rights violations on the people of Palestine (Muslim, Christian and Jews).
