It is interesting to see how the people in this region reacted to the Israel invasion and killing of innocence Palestinians. As usual, muslim countries will react more strongly compared to non muslim country. In Malaysia, we have demonstrations too and as usual, the target will be US Embassy. However, after much shouting and screaming, the crowd dispersed and get back to work. I wonder how effective is the demonstration at the US Embassy?Just to vent anger? (But this round no monkey show).
Besides, we also have an irrelevant ex-leader, Dr. M wanted Malaysian to boycott US products, starts with Coca-Cola, Mc Donald and Colgate. By accident, I'm already one supporter because I don't drink soft drink or eat fast food because these two things are almost zero in nutrition and I only use Darlie tooth paste...But what are we trying to achieve by boycotting US products? To make sure their business collapse and add to the employment percentage? Why make Coke, Mc Donald & Colgate the scape goat? Do we have proof that they channel funds to support Israel? They are innocence too. If Dr M is so determine to boycott, then make sure you don't use any Microsoft programmes & Intel processor in publishing your blog.
As usual, the U.S. president will not spare the condemn. What disturb me was when I read about a father in Kota Bahru, brought his to a demonstration and taught his son to throw shoes at George W Bush picture. George W Bush may not feel the pain but that father may have to bear the responsibility later when his son grew up. His son may think that it is alright to throw shoes to vent anger. I pity the kid and wonder what on earth the father would want to teach his son to throw shoes.
If what the Kelantan father did was serious, the next one is consider crazy but luckily it was not happen in Malaysia. In Indonesia, the Islamist warriors are actually considering going to Gaza to "help" the Palestinians to fight Israel. A 28 year old lady by name of Dhuharniyeti said that she was prepared to fight Israel troops with bamboo sticks and arrows...I'm speechless when I read this. Israel has been there for long time despite being surrounded by the muslim nations and they are still standing tall. When Iraq's Scud missiles were unable to finish off Israel, can the bamboo sticks and arrow do the magic? When living in peace, people tend to forget about how to treasure life and want to go to the battle ground with bamboo sticks...
The only way to resolve this is for all parties to go back to the negotiation table in order to avoid more casualty. Israel should be penalised for invading and killing, they should be taught a lesson for disobeying the call by UN to cease fire. Hamas is no angel, they are equally inhumane for using civilian especially kids as human shield, it is even more despicable than Israel.
