I refer to the Malaysiakini report Protest against Israel turns into war of words .

It said Khairy Jamaluddin led a group of people to protest outside the Palestine embassy to show their support against the Israeli air strikes in Gaza.

‘I am here to tell you that we, Malaysians - Muslims and non-Muslims - want to show our support to the Palestinians as this concerns humanitarian and economic issues. This is about unity, freedom and justice of the Palestinians,’ said Khairy.

Based on what was said, I have several questions for Khairy:

Regarding the support for Palestinians, since it is concerns humanitarian and economic issues, my question is: ‘Where were you when you heard 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.

The point is - are you showing favouritism towards the Palestinians, but not extending your hands out to all victims of the current BN policies? They would love to have you fight for them too!

When you said you support Palestine, and in addition to the RM100,000 humanitarian aid, did you also mean that you support every form of action that Palestine (or actually Hamas) has been taking against Israel?

For instance, the multiple suicide bombings and the infringement of the cease-fire truce with Israel and also their plan to take further revenge against Israel.

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 this scenario. If Sabahans get so frustrated with the local Filipinos and start attacking the illegal immigrants there, and the Philippines launches an attack, with the support of her allies, against Malaysia.

Would you condemn the behaviour of her allies for being ignorant of the problems the illegal Filipinos have posed to the local Sabahans? So, have you ever wondered why Hamas is named a terrorist organisation by many countries?

What’s your claim of ‘Support from Malaysians – Muslims and non-Muslims’ based on? Do you have the signatures from the majority of Malaysians? Who are you to represent all of us?

Be realistic, you are not favourable to 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 for a permit for the 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 do not oppose the protest since Malaysians should have the right to hold a peaceful gathering. I am just deeply disappointed at the double standard held by our government. Could you please help me to verify this? Thank you!
