We Don't Need a Lecture Right Now, Malik...Really.

Malik Imtiaz gives a totally irrelevant and disproportionate example in a barely masked effort at apologizing for the Palestinian Holocaust by the Israelis in his Malay Mail column (and then attempts to gain some mileage from the mass murders at the end for his own "fight"). Sometimes I wonder...why does a fight for human rights always end where the word Islam begins? Or maybe I'm biased...


Do Unto Others (click here to read the full apology)

Imagine a rocket being fired into our territory by persons or organizations in a neighbouring country. There is damage to property and a few people are killed. It would be inconceivable for our government not to take a position and to demand that the government of that neighbouring country take immediate steps to ensure that the event does not reoccur.

...I would think that there are many who feel that Israel had to act decisively. Leave aside the historical antecedents, Israeli sovereignty and lives are at stake. Options are arguably limited, a state of affairs compounded by the fact that the Palestinian government, to an extent that renders cooperation between the two governments on this issue impossible, condones the rocket attacks.

Do all lawyers write like him?

It may be my coffee-clouded mind, but I had to read it three times to understand what he was saying.

He seems to think that the uproar is more about emotions than our 'desire for justice.' He worries that we may be blind to the realities when we take positions on Gaza.

Well, we are agitated precisely because we are not blind to the realities on the ground in Gaza -- in his words, 'It is apparent that war crimes are being committed and, arguably, crimes against humanity.'

And it's quite devious of him to plug his fight into the article.

Malik Imtiaz's blog was previously at sidebar. By sheer coincidence, I had dumped it and replaced with *yours* two months ago.

This is one of the `intellectuals' who talk and talk, and discuss, argue and analyse... and DO NOTHING.

I had mentioned about this in my Save Starbucks & Coca Cola: Die dirty Palestinians & Muslims, DIE!! post.

Mat,

I think Malik has watched too much CNN..surprising how western MSM is taken at face value when it comes to islam, terrorism, palestine etc by the same people who don't trust our MSM.

you must know who Malik Imtiaz is.
You can put him together with Haris Ibrahim.

They fight for freedom to choose your religion. They fight to change our constitution with regards to Islam.

None of their ilk will stand up for the Palestinian cause -- although the cause is not about Islam.

Malik Imtiaz and Haris might as well change their names.
