OF LIES AND DECEPTIONS 1. President Joe Biden’s statement regarding the bombing of the hospital in Gaza was from a misfired Palestinian rocket is totally ridiculous and absurd. 2. Why should there be any doubt that the blast of the Al Ahli Arab hospital is from an Israeli air strike as the murderous regime had been attempting to wipe Palestinians and Gaza out of existence since last week. 3. In fact, Israel had been after the Palestinians all the time, if not wipe out the Palestinians altogether, for the past 70 years and suddenly now, after launching air strikes day and night, Palestinians blames for the blast on the hospital. 4. Biden’s narrative is based on feedbacks from Nethanyahu and Pentagon. 5. Obviously Nethanyahu lies about everything. And if Biden wants to use Pentagon to give credence to his narrative, we have not forgotten how Pentagon and other American institutions lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. 6. A more recent lie is about Biden claiming to have seen pictures of Hamas beheading babies. 7. Indeed, the White House had withdrawn the statement, admitting that there was no proof of such a deed. The question is how Biden could blatantly lie in the first place and with a straight face. 8. The crux of the matter is that all these atrocities committed by Israel on the Palestinians stems from the American support for Tel Aviv. 9. If the American Government withdraws its support for Israel and stop all military aids to the regime, Israel would not have carried out the genocide and mass murders of Palestinians with impunity. 10. The United States government needs to come clean and tell the truth. Israel and its IDF are the terrorists. The United States is blatantly supporting terrorists. So what is the United States?

The US is definitely a settlers’ colony in which Native Americans were ethnically cleansed by settlers. What the US settlers did to the Native Americans are no different than that being committed by the Israelis on Palestinians. The UK Government, though merely a lapdog of the US, have delusions of the glory of their colonial past hence its preparedness to see genocide being committed on a people without any compassion. What is being committed is merely an extension or replication of what it used to inflict upon the peoples living in their empire. As for Israel. It is a colonial settler and with the US, UK and other former imperialist nations supporting it, commits the worst kind of crimes against humanity wantonly and with impunity. Each and every one of them has had blood on their hands. And they now lust for more. AT THE GLOBAL SOLIDARITY AND RALLY FOR FREE PALESTINE ORGANISED BY FORSEA (Forces of Renewal for Southeast Asia)

Latest Comments on the Palestine-Israel Conflict 1. For 70 years the Israelis had been oppressing and subjecting Palestinians on their own land. 2. Almost daily the Israeli forces had randomly killed a few Palestinians and claimed that those killed are terrorists. 3. Who decides whether the Palestinians killed were terrorists or not? If they are suspected to be terrorists why don’t they arrest them and put them on trial? 4. They had been labelling Hamas as terrorists. But isn’t Hamas reacting as any people who had been pushed to a corner? Isn’t theirs the reaction of a people who feels helpless and had lost hope of getting help from nations proclaiming to be defenders or justice and humanity. 5. Isn’t it only expected for Hamas and any other Palestinian for that matter, who had been subjected to Israel’s occupation, bullying, massacres, genocide and apartheid, to react as what we witness today? 6. And we are also witness today of Israel’s efforts to out-terrorise Hamas. Actually, all these while it is Israel which is the terrorist, terrorising Palestinians without any sense of guilt or remorse. 7. They had killed children and babies and justified it that it was stopping them from growing up to be terrorists. 8. With that, Israel justifies murders and killings of children and babies. Doubly nauseating, they are backed by the West and the United States, which not only kept mum while Israel committed the war crimes, were even supplying arms to the murderous regime. Let me share my thoughts above in Malay. 1. Pertamanya, saya ingin ingatkan semua orang betapa selama lebih 70 tahun Israel telah dengan kejam dan bongkak mendera orang Palestin tanpa henti. 2. Hampir setiap hari, tentera Israel membunuh beberapa orang Palestin dengan alasan mereka yang dibunuh adalah pengganas. 3. Siapa yang tentukan orang Palestin yang dibunuh adalah pengganas? Jika mereka itu disyaki pengganas, mengapa tidak ditangkap dan dihadapkan ke mahkamah? 4. Israel juga melabel Hamas sebagai pengganas. Tetapi bukankah tindakan Hamas adalah tindakan orang yang sudah tenggelam punca, hilang harapan untuk mendapatkan keadilan dari Negara-negara besar yang mendabik dada sebagai pejuang keadilan dan kemanusiaan. 5. Tidakkah sesuatu yang dijangka bahawa Hamas dan juga mana-mana orang Palestin yang telah dijajah oleh Israel, didera, dibunuh and dihina seperti binatang, bertindak sebagaimana yang kita saksikan hari ini? 6. Di waktu ini juga, kita menjadi saksi kepada tindakan Israel yang berusaha mengatasi keganasan yang mereka tuduh dilakukan oleh Hamas. Jika kita renung kembali, Israel yang sebenarnya sebuah Negara pengganas yang telah berdekad lamanya melakukan keganasan ke atas orang Palestin tanpa rasa bersalah atau sebarang kekesalan. 7. Mereka membunuh kanak-kanak dan bayi orang Palestin kerana kononnya kanak-kanak dan bayi-bayi ini membesar dan menjadi pengganas. Dengan alasan tersebut mereka terus melakukan pembunuhan ke atas bayi dan kanak-kanak Palestin. 8. Yang membuat keadaan lebih memualkan ialah tindakan Israel mendapat sokongan dari Negara Barat dan Amerika yang bukan sahaja membisu apabila Israel melakukan jenayah perang, mereka malah membekalkan senjata kepada regim kejam tersebut.

KASHMIR BLACK DAY 1. First of all, thank you very much for inviting me to share some thoughts on this solemn occasion – in commemorating the Kashmir Black Day which essentially marks the beginning of the occupation of the State of Jammu and Kashmir by India since 1947. 2. It has indeed been a very long time since the occupation started and recent treatments of India on the occupied territories do not reflect that it plans to reconsider its occupation let alone end it anytime soon. 3. In fact, India is forcefully bullying any opposition to its occupation while at the same time tightening its grip on these territories. 4. And woe upon us that while the border politics are being played out, atrocities committed on the Jammu and Kashmiri populace persists and we and all those who are concerned, watch helplessly on the side lines. 5. I do not like to draw parallels to acts of injustice and crimes against humanity as the sufferings of the victims cannot be equated from one to another. 6. And we can never really fathom the depths of these sufferings, the pain and scars that remain etched on the victims and their kin for as long as they live. 7. But parallels in the hypocrisy, the double-standards, deceptions and lies committed by perpetrators of these atrocities are similar. It is only the scale that may differ at times – as each tries to outdo the other when they terrorise their victims relentlessly and with impunity. 8. What are their hypocrisy, lies, deceptions and double-standards? 9. On the one hand, these ruthless regimes proclaim to be advocates of democracy while they commit apartheid. They express anger and disgust when their victims retaliate and hit back at them, usually on minute scale, disproportionately compared with their vicious attacks. 10. They label freedom fighters as terrorists, hiding the fact that their apartheid policies, genocide and ethnic cleansing activities for decades cannot, but spawn aggressive retaliation from those occupied. 11. And why do these occupied people resort to militancy and aggression? 12. Isn’t that to be expected from a people who had been bullied, stripped of their dignity and witness to the murders of their loved ones while the rest of the civilised world turn a blind eye. 13. Don’t all these narratives sound the same – be it in Palestine, in Jammu/Kashmir, South Africa or even Ireland in the not too distant past? 14. For that matter, most of these problems are inherited from the colonial past as they divide and carve up their former colonies and distributed them at their whims without considering the interest of the populace. 15. Unluckily today, despite contributing to the crises, the former colonialists and their allies chose to support the new occupiers and the results as we witness today are the massacres and genocide of the occupied. 16. Right now, the world watches in horror as Israel unleashes its military might on helpless Palestinians, justifying it as retaliations to terror acts committed by Hamas. 17. Israel intends to choke Palestinians in Gaza out of existence by cutting off all basic and essential supplies and at the same time suggesting that civilians in Gaza move out of the occupied territories so that it can then hit only at Hamas target and not the civilians. 18. While Israel blames Hamas for its attacks on Gaza, it does not explain why the murderous Tel Aviv regime attacks West Bank which is devoid of Hamas. 19. In fact, for the past seven decades, of which almost half of that period was without Hamas, Israel had been attacking and killing Palestinian civilians including babies with impunity. 20. Hamas and other Palestinians who decide to take up arms and fight against Israel are children and grandchildren of Palestinian civilians the Israeli regime had murdered in the past. 21. Using the same playbook, India is justifying its invasion and occupation of Jammu and Kashmir as part of an effort to eradicate militants and terrorists and to protect its border. 22. India’s revocation of Jammu/Kashmir’s autonomy unilaterally four years ago saw the deployment of hundreds of thousands of soldiers into the illegally occupied territories of Jammu and Kashmir. Along with that atrocities were committed, while placing the whole population under siege. 23. International bodies had reported that an atmosphere of fear and reprisal had ensured silence. 24. We have also heard reports of how India is attempting to change the demographic composition of Jammu and Kashmir by settling non-Muslim outsiders in the Muslim majority areas. 25. In many ways, it is not different than the Israeli settlers who forcefully evict Palestinians from their homes in land grab activities sanctioned by the Tel Aviv regime. And to ensure that the process is successful, it deploys the IDF to accompany the settlers. 26. Resistance were met with such viciousness that some helpless Palestinians just submit themselves to the mercy of the occupying forces. 27. But there are Palestinians, as in the case of the citizens of Jammu and Kashmir who would not leave their fate in the hands of providence. 28. They retaliate and fight for their freedom and liberation by any means available to them, most times unconventional. 29. The minute they retaliate and any casualties are inflicted on the occupying forces, a prepared narrative emerges almost immediately – militants from these occupied territories had committed acts of terror on the occupiers. 30. With that the Western powers which had decades of opportunities to put a stop to the occupations and assist in the liberation of the occupied peoples, side with the occupiers and regurgitate the convenient labelling of terrorists and terrorism at the freedom fighters. 31. It is indeed baffling that these leaders of the so-called civilised West cannot even understand the meaning of the term occupied territories. And they do not seem to be able to comprehend a simple concept that those standing up against the occupation are the heroes and that the occupiers are the villains. 32. What can we do against the oppressive occupiers and the powerful backers? 33. Not much actually other than continue voicing our anger and disgust to what is happening in these occupied territories. 34. We must persist in exposing the cruelties, the atrocities and the hypocrisy of the self-anointed guardian of global morality when they are actually the perpetrator of evil and backers of greater evil. 35. It seems their hypocrisy and cruelties are bottomless as when we think we had witnessed the worst there is in mankind, they come up with atrocities we can never imagine before. 36. To the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We remember you and we feel for you. We pray for your deliverance and may Allah liberate you from the tyranny. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank you.

![Israel has been killing Palestinians all this while. They are citizens, they are not soldiers. They go to Jenin for example, and shoot people. Even today we see reports about them killing civilians. So how is Hamas going to distinguish between soldiers and civilians when they have no proper army with intelligence and all that to distinguish thier targets. In any case if Israelis are killing civilians, you cannot blame Hamas for doing the same.

Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad today received a courtesy call from H.E Edil Baisalov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan in Putrajaya. H.E Baisalov is on a three-day visit to Malaysia. In the 30 minutes meeting Dr Mahathir was briefed on the progress of the Kyrgyz Republic. H.E Baisalov also told Dr Mahathir his main objective for visiting Malaysia was to learn and understand the Malaysian education system, from primary to tertiary. The Kyrgyz delegation had visited a school in Putrajaya as well as the University of Malaya (UM). They also visited Cyberjaya. Both Dr Mahathir and H.E Baisalov shared the similar views on the importance of teaching of Science and Mathematics in English. Dr Mahathir believed that the focus of the Kyrgyz government on improving education was very correct. “A good education makes people well-trained and better qualified.” In the meeting H.E Baisalov also briefed on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railroad project which aims to benefit the economic growth of Central Asia. Dr Mahathir emphasised that communication and connectivity between countries are very important aspects in enhancing trade. At the end of the meeting, H.E Edil Baisalov extended an invitation from President of Kyrgyz Republic, H.E Sadyr Japarov for Dr Mahathir to visit the country and observe the progress it had underwent. Dr Mahathir first visited Kyrgyzstan in July 1996 as the Prime Minister to reciprocate the first official visit to Malaysia by H.E Askar Akayev the former President of the Kyrgyz Republic a year earlier. Diplomatic ties between Kyrgyzstan and Malaysia were established in April 1992, and in 1997 the Embassy of the Kyrgyz Republic was established. Since then, bilateral relations have improved in the fields of trade and economy, investment, culture and social.

![Terorrism is committed by everybody. Today we hear in America, 16 people were killed by a person who shot them with a gun - that is terrorism. But when you are fighting for your own country, that is not terrorism. So you have to be able to distinguish between what is terrorism and what is struggle to regain your own country. As you know at one time, Jomo Kenyatta was regarded as a terrorist. But he was fighting for Kenya (from British colonial rule). And when he succeeded they no longer called him a terrorist. So fighting for your own land which has been stolen is not terrorism. It is the struggle of people to regain their own country.

SAMBUTAN HARI MALAYSIA KE-60 1. Hari ini genap 60 tahun kita bersama di dalam sebuah gabungan yang kita gelar sebagai Malaysia. 2. Enam dekad bukan satu tempoh masa yang singkat dan dalam tempoh tersebut, banyak yang kita lalui bersama. Ada kenangan manis dan tak kurang juga yang pahit. 3. Apa pun, amat perlu kita toleh ke belakang apabila kita mahu maju ke hadapan. 4. Tujuan asal kita tubuh Malaysia ialah untuk pastikan pengaruh komunis tidak bertapak di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu, Singapura, Sabah dan Sarawak. 5. Walaupun Singapura bukan sebahagian kita lagi, tetapi ke semua kita telah berjaya menyekat komunis bertapak. 6. Kita juga setuju untuk bersama sebagai usaha ke arah kemerdekaan Sabah dan Sarawak. Ini juga telah kita capai. 7. Hasil yang kita harap dari gabungan ini – mengembang ekonomi dan membangun bersama terus dikemudi dan menjadi teras kepada gabungan kita. 8. Ada ketika timbul rasa kurang senang di antara satu sama lain. Ia perkara biasa di dalam mana-mana penyatuan wilayah-wilayah berbeza. 9. Yang penting, selagi pemimpin dan pemikir yakin bahawa bersatu itu teguh dan bercerai akan roboh, Insya Allah gabungan kita akan terus utuh. 10. Kita sambut Hari Malaysia dalam semangat sedemikian. Itulah asas kepada gabungan kita. 11. Kesatuan kita di dalam kepelbagaian dan kepelbagaian kita di dalam kesatuan. Ini kita sambut tanpa ketepikan asal-usul dan menafi sejarah pembentukan negara bangsa ini. Selamat Hari Malaysia. Semoga Allah memberi keberkatan kepada kita semua.

AT THE WEBINAR: A CRITICAL DISCUSSION ON THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S APPROACH TO GAZA'S GENOCIDE, ORGANISED BY THE ARAB ORGANISATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (Arab Organisation) 1. First of all, I would like to thank the organiser for inviting me to share some thoughts with all the distinguished personalities present. 2. I do not know how much of what I say can make any difference to the situation in Palestine where we witness, every day for the past one month, the barbarity of Israel conducting mass murder and genocide. 3. But I am bound by a very basic principle in Islam when witnessing a grave injustice, in which, if I am not capable of raising my hands and join the fight, I must speak up and oppose the tyranny. 4. And that is what I am doing. 5. I am now 98 and I have lived through numerous phases as the world evolved. I have witnessed the cruelties and atrocities of colonialism, the arrogance of the colonialists and the hypocrisy of powerful nations. 6. But the arrogance of Israel, its barbarity and colossal disregard for human values equals and most times surpassed the horrors committed during the colonial past. 7. It is difficult to find words to describe the atrocities and horrendous cruelties inflicted by the Israelis on Palestinians. 8. These horrors perpetrated by the Israelis are brought right into our living room as we watched them on news channels and other sources of information on social media platforms. 9. Then we ask ourselves, surely leaders of the Western world, the US and the UK in particular, have access to the same graphic images – of children and babies being killed, dying horrific, suffocating deaths in rubbles of bombed buildings. 10. On the one hand, these leaders of the so-called civilised world demand the third world to observe human rights and even animal rights, and show overbearing concerns over homelessness and poverty. 11. And yet, all these that they preach to the world are being stripped blatantly off the Palestinians. Worst, they are abetting the Israelis to deny Palestinians of their rights, their homes while totally impoverishing them. 12. They supply the arms and incendiaries, including phosphorus bombs to Israel to conduct genocide on the Palestinians and deprive them of all their rights. 13. Surprising as it may seem to most people; it is actually a consistent trait of leaders from these nations who are imperialists. 14. If we today discover that, to these leaders, the lives of Palestinians are of no consequence – it was likewise to them with the lives of Iraqis, Afghans, Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans, Africans, Irish, Malays, Indians, Aborigines and Native Americans. 15. In the past, when they were pursuing their imperialistic dominance, they labelled freedom fighters with pejoratives which I am sure we are all quite familiar with – barbarians, rebels, savages, uncivilised, infidels, recalcitrant and of course terrorists. 16. As in the past, all these labelling are mere facade to distract the rest of the world from what was actually happening – the expansion of imperialism. 17. For us, we need to be steadfast in our support for the Palestinians and call a spade, a spade - “Israel is an occupying force committing genocide on Palestinians who are the occupied people. Israel is being abetted to commit the atrocities by the Western powers whose hands are as bloodied as that of the Israelis with the blood of Palestinian children and babies.” 18. And let us be clear - in any language or definition – the occupier is the evil force and those occupied are victims. Victims of occupations have every right to rise against their occupier. 19. And Palestine had been occupied for more than seven decades and we should not let ourselves be taken for a ride by the modern-day imperialists who want to confine Israelis’ genocidal reaction to Hamas’s retaliation on October 7. 20. The world must be reminded that the genocide had never ceased since the illegal creation of Israel and that it is funded and armed and fully blessed by leaders of these nations. 21. To sum up, the Palestinians are dealing with present day imperialists and colonialists who stick together in pursuit of their common interests - geopolitical dominance which in turn ensure control over crucial regional resources. 22. We have established that the Palestinians are victims of neo-imperialism which mean that neither Israel nor the US, neither the UK nor their Western allies, are interested in seeing peace or justice being achieved. 23. With that in mind, I cannot help but feel utterly disappointed with the recent joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit which failed to propose any concrete or strategic measures to pressure Israel and its Western allies to stop the massacre of Palestinian civilians. 24. Let’s not fool ourselves - all the strongly worded communiqué, statements, demands and condemnations directed towards Israel and its Western allies, in particular the United States will fall on deaf ears. 25. As it is, the reaction from war criminal Netanyahu is very telling, condescending and derogatory when he arrogantly said: “I say to the Arab leaders, if you want to preserve your interests, you must do one thing… remain silent.” 26. The reality is that despite efforts by Israel over seven decades to strip Palestinians of their dignity, the Palestinians still hold their heads high. 27. In the past month, the Palestinians, including school going youths again proved their courage and defiance in the face of Israel’s barbarity and atrocities. 28. In the face of such adversity, we witnessed civilian Palestinians especially doctors and nurses, refusing to leave their hospitals for safer places, insisting on staying and treating the wounded at the risk of their own lives. 29. Many died but they will live on as martyrs and heroes. 30. Instead, it is Muslim and Arab leaders who are being stripped of their dignity as Israel, the US and their Western allies continue to “humour” them but never taking them seriously. 31. Despite sitting on areas of abundant wealth that could be used as leverage to demand Western nations apply sanction against Israel for its atrocities on Palestinians, Arab and Muslim leaders merely appeal for Israel to stop the genocide. They don’t even demand that the UN send peace keepers. 32. I am aware that some of these leaders are nauseated and want the Arab and Islamic Summit to take more drastic and concrete measures against Israel. 33. However, the others preferred to play it safe so that consensus could not be reached – other than the meaningless diplomatic appeal. 34. With that, the Palestinians are left at the mercy of Israel, the US and its Western allies. And they are as culpable as Israel over the genocide. Wassalam and thank you.
