Tun Mahathir is a foremost and longtime proponent of the Palestinian cause, both locally and internationally.
Our former premier told Malay newspaper Sinar Harian that he is fully behind Hamas, the political organization ruling Gaza since 2006 — see yesterday’s news headline, below.
Mahathir is consistent in his unwavering support for Palestinians, then and now. Now additionally for their suicidal leaders Hamas.
Most inconsistent, on the other hand, are DAP and the party followers.
Inconsistency exhibit #1: DAP hated Mahathir for decades, then suddenly loved him as PH chairman and reverted to hating him with even greater vengeance post Sheraton Move.
People who love Mahathir agree with his deep and enduring convictions — be it his views on the Palestinian lost homeland or his fear of Malays losing their Tanah Melayu homeland in the near future.
DAP seemingly loved Mahathir when they made him PM7 from 2018 and 2020. However, they did not love Mahathir on the basis of any shared principles but only because he was their ticket to reach and remain in Putrajaya.
Beloved Zahid, current object of DAP affection
Inconsistency exhibit #2: Presently it is the Umno president that DAP loves. Zahid today is loved by DAP and Dapsters much, much more than by his own Malay party grassroots.
Actually, Zahid and Umno are not at all liked in the Malay heartland. Instead Zahid’s greatest fanboys are the Harapan followers.
Go to the readers’ comments in the following Malaysiakini article yesterday headlined ‘People want Anwar to drop Zahid in cabinet reshuffle’ and see. The Malaysiakini commenters, on the contrary, are very keen to keep Zahid in the cabinet as PMX’s right-hand man.
In fact, these pro-Harapan people are so enamoured of Zahid that they shot the messenger (Malaysiakini reporters) in a hail of verbal bullets for suggesting that the wider public wants Zahid reshuffled out of cabinet.
DAP’s tudung & keffiyeh cosplay
With the Malay parties, what you see is what you get. With DAP, expect to see insincere dressing up merely for show.
The DAP can easily ubah 180 degrees because rather than pointing true north unerringly, its compass needle spins according to the expediency of the moment.
Inconsistency exhibit #3: DAP has become the strongest backer of Umno, the party they had vilified for decades.
In the recent Pelangai byelection, 97 percent of its Chinese electorate voted for the Umno man, an analysis of the poll results by Institut Darul Ehsan found.
Whether the Malay parties are establishment or opposition, they’re all consistently united in their support for the Palestinians.
Tomorrow after Friday prayers, Umno Malays, Amanah Malays, PKR Malays, PAS Malays, Bersatu Malays and Pejuang Malays will be taking to the street to demonstrate their support for the Palestinians.
Meanwhile in Malaysiakini, three news reports on solidarity-with-Gaza have had their reader responses disabled due to too many anti-Palestinian comments.
DAP has a reputation of being anti Islam but its non-Muslim YBs are nonetheless the most enthusiastic about wearing tudung to be photographed at the mosques.
The Zionists who established new country Israel in 1948 were pendatang from European countries to a Middle Eastern land already inhabited by pribumi Palestinians.
The Jewish immigrants created the slogan “A land without a people for a people without a land” to justify their greedy occupation of Palestine pushing out the natives.
This Zionist settler slogan is of course rubbish, just like the “Diversity is Our Strength” multikulti slogan is also rubbish.
Evangelical Christians are generally pro Israel.
Given what we know about inconsistency, it’ll not be at all surprising to see the DAP photo ops gang soon don the keffiyeh and profess their love for the bumiputera Palestinians.
Like its tudung-wearing non-Muslim YBs, the DAP’s keffiyeh-wearing leaders are far from representative of the party base.

We all know that our Leaders are supportive of causes in which the Powerful attempts to crush the weak like in the HAMAS v the Israelis conflict. But are we aware that our Leaders do not find much traction in the wider World of dissemination of information in their interests ? Our official media services are domestically attuned to local events- designed to catch gossip-mongers and no more In Singapore, the humongous Ministry of Information is a tool of Government which brooks no ends to serve the altruistic interests of Singapore. It’s focus is first on Malaysia, second on ASEAN and then the World. No stone is left un-turned to achieve success from the employment of swallows and ducks to 10 course Chinese dinners. Even the ordinary orchid could be used to please the visiting VVIP by name a flower after them which cost NOTHING ! Lee Kuan Yew recognised the importance of propaganda and brainwashing as he fought his way upwards in the innards of the Cold War 1948-1989. It was alleged that he culled the best from Mossad and the KGB to further his aims. The Soviets 1921-1989, were masters of the game in the land of Pavlov and his dogs in the 1920s. We Malaysians still ask ourselves, ‘ Who was Pavlov?’ And so we Malaysians can only move upwards from a clean slate in the field of brainwashing and misinformation with dollops of fake news. See how Lee Kuan Yew used the Chinese media to glamourize himself for a Life-time ? To glamorize the media industry, we have a socialite journalist as the chairman of our National news agency who tangoed in a business venture with the Singapore Government’s owned Mediacorp since 2004 ! It seems our beloved Malaysia is permeated and ‘internationalized’ down to its very hair-roots from a Singaporean PAP cadre appointed as Chief Editor of UMNO’s NST to teach us Singlish in 2006 via the TV personality who bedded down with a true blue Israeli for 10 years. OMG ! All manner of assassinations, abductions of foreigners on our soil coupled with the infiltration of cloak and dagger types into our Administration system. This reminds me of the Tunku and the Soviet Ambassador in 1957 ! The KGB came to town in 1957 and could not find our Foreign Policy. The Soviet Ambassador congratulated the Tunku for hiding it so well. The Tunku replied nonchalantly ,’ We have none !’ On this side of the Causeway, we do not take color pix of VVIP in delicto flagrante. On the other side, the Singapore humongous Ministry of Information employs an army of bitter ex Straits Settlements types equipped with the latest in hi-tech equipment to capture all unawares ! That’s the difference ! OMG !
Hamas has humiliated the Israel army.
The ground offensive is inevitable. Hamas too knew of it.
Will there be more surprises from Hamas during the ground offensive?
