MAPIM: Usah Tunduk Pada Israeil Jika Sokong 

Rakyat Palestin

Yesterday at 9:19am
Dari TV Selangor

Kerajaan tidak wajar tunduk kepada mana-mana kuasa Barat terutama negara berfahaman zionis jika menyokong perjuangan rakyat Palestin, tegas Setiausaha Agung Majlis Perundingan Pertubuhan Islam Malaysia (MAPIM), Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid.

Mapim hari ini hadir ke parlimen bagi menyerahkan surat kepada Speaker Dewan Rakyat, Ketua Pembangkang, dan Pengerusi Kelab Penyokong Kerajaan Barisan Nasional bagi mendapatkan sokongan terhadap memorandum Mapim yang akan dihantar kepada Setiausaha Agung Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB).

“Kita merasakan bahawa kerajaan Malaysia, Parlimen dan juga rakyat untuk mengutuk dan mengecam tindakan Israel itu mesti digunai walaupun kita membuat satu pendirian pada tahun 2009.

Beliau berkata, Mapim mencadangkan Parlimen yang sedang bersidang ketika ini mengeluarkan satu resolusi khas mengutuk keganasan Yahudi Israel yang sehingga kini terus melakukan kekejaman ke atas rakyat Gaza.

“Yang kedua ialah kita ingin supaya Parlimen mengambil sedikit masa untuk membahaskan usul mengutuk dan mengecam Israel yang terus mengganas di Gaza dan dunia tidak berbuat apa-apa,” katanya.

Mapim turut mencadangkan Parlimen membentuk satu kaukus khas iaitu kaukus Malaysia untuk Palestin bagi membolehkan isu keganasan terhadap Gaza diberi fokus utama.

Beliau juga meminta dua orang ahli parlimen turut menyertai misi bantuan Gaza yang akan disertai aktivis pada 3 Mei ini dengan mengikuti rombongan kapal-kapal flotia ke sana.

“Kita minta dua orang dan yang lain itu siapa yang menyokong APCO jangan pergilah,” sindir beliau.

Ship purchased for Gaza campaign

* Ship purchased for Gaza campaign

The first ship of a flotilla that will carry humanitarian aid to Gaza and break the embargo on the area was purchased. It will carry passengers, while search for a cargo ship is ongoing. Charitable people are urged to support the flotilla campaign. Purchased from İDO Istanbul Fast Ferries Company, owned by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Mavi Marmara ship has the capacity to carry 200 tonnes of load and 1,080 passengers. The Municipality put the ship on tender and the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, as the only bidder, purchased it at 1,810,000 Turkish liras, the sale price.

Human rights advocates, activists, journalists and representatives of nongovernmental organizations will be taken to Gaza in this ship. It will also carry medication, medical equipment and other relief supplies needed in Gaza. The purchase was financed by donations of benevolent people. The IHH is planning to ship regular humanitarian aid to Gaza in the vessel and donate it to Palestinians after the removal of embargo.

* Cargo ship to be purchased

The foundation is also looking for a cargo vessel to ship more humanitarian supplies to Gaza. With the cargo ship tonnes of medication, medical equipment, and construction materials such as iron and cement will be taken to the region. Construction materials are of great significance to Gazan people, because the houses destroyed in the latest Israeli offensive still wait to be rebuilt. Gazan people are waiting for the day to rebuild their houses, but the entry of construction materials to Gaza is banned under the ongoing embargo.

* Flotilla to sail in May

The flotilla of seven ships, two from Turkey and five from Europe, is expected to sail for Gaza in mid-May. Some of the ships will carry passengers and some humanitarian supplies.

* Have a stake in the campaign

You can contribute to the IHH-led flotilla campaign by donating. Call 0212 631 21 21, visit www.ihh.org.tr or drop by the IHH head office to donate. Please indicate you are donating for Palestine campaign.

Flotilla to be launched in May

Flotilla to be launched in May
Activists with different religions and languages gathered at the IHH head office to discuss the forthcoming humanitarian flotilla to Gaza. They will be sailing to Gaza in ships this May. IHH President spoke resolutely: “We can sleep in the ships for mon

The IHH-led campaign “Palestine Our Destination, Freedom Our Load” was launched with a meeting at the foundation’s headquarters. Bülent Yıldırım, chairman of the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, a number of activists from Greece, Britain, the United States and Indonesia, Cihat Gökdemir, head of Mazlum-Der Istanbul Branch, TGTV Chairman Necati Ceylan, Erol Erdoğan, Istanbul provincial head of Saadet Party, Bayram Karacan, Istanbul provincial head of BBP, two Palestinians being treated in Turkey and scores of people were present at the press conference.

These medicines and dialysis machines not available in Gaza

Showing medicines and dialysis machine in front of him, Yıldırım said “These medicines used by cancer patients and this dialysis machine used by people suffering from kidney failure are not available in Gaza. These are just two simple examples. Even basic humanitarian stuff is not allowed into Gaza under the embargo. This embargo is sanctioned neither by the international law nor human conscience. Unfortunately, it has been in effect for four years. We will sail in May to break the embargo.”

Yıldırım noted they had been campaigning in various countries to promote the flotilla initiative and they were receiving new participants each day.

Yıldırım: We can sleep in the ships for months if needed

Yıldırım stated the IHH had purchased a passenger ship with the capacity of 1,080 persons and a cargo ship that can carry 3,500 tons of cargo. “The last time we travelled to Palestine overland we said we could even sleep in the desert. And now we are saying we can sleep in the ships for months. If Israel keeps us at the sea, it will be the losing side. This will lead to more reporting about the embargo. Israel has become very isolated at the international level. If Israel has a humane side as it claims, it has to let us enter Gaza. Then the world will say ‘Israel also has a humane side.’ This flotilla will serve as a test of sincerity for Israel. If it fires at our ships, it will be interpreted as declaration of war on our countries. Israel and Egypt should permit this international movement,” he added.

We are doing what our states should be doing

Another participant Huwaida Arraf, spokeswoman of the Free Gaza Movement, is a Ramallah-born Palestinian Christian married to a Jew. Arraf recalled they had sailed for Palestine in ships three times in the past.

She expressed pride for being part of the initiative and said: “A humanitarian tragedy is unfolding in Gaza and governments of world countries are remaining silent to it. We are doing now what our governments should be doing. We know it well that the power of humanity fighting for human rights is much stronger than arms. We managed to deliver aid to Gaza before and we were given a hero’s welcome. The truth is the real heroes are the people of Gaza, who are resisting. We had promised them we would return in a bigger movement and we are going to keep our promise with this organization.”

Israel fired at our ships in earlier attempts, Arraf said and added “Israel fired and sank our ship. But we were not discouraged. We organized three flotillas of aid ships and achieved to reach Gaza at the third attempt. And we are now sailing with the IHH to make the embargo meaningless.”

‘We are ashamed of our governments’ silence’

Representing Greece’s Ship to Gaza organization at the press conference, Vangelios Pissias said they were ashamed of their governments’ silence on the issue. The Palestinian question is unifying and lessons should be learnt from the resistance of Gaza, he indicated. The Greek activist said irrelevant problems between regional countries should be made history and urged Mediterranean countries to unite against the Israeli aggression.

700 died from embargo

Mazen Kehil, representative of the European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza, recalled 700 Palestinians had died because of the embargo and called for unity of world countries on the Gaza issue. The ships will not be carrying arms but only humanitarian supplies, Kehil noted and urged all countries to support the flotilla. Indonesian activist Nur Fitri said they were taking part in the organization to prove the Indonesian people are standing by the Palestinian people and added they were planning to found a hospital in Gaza.

Palestine Our Destination, Humanitarian Aid Our Load

The campaign with the slogan “Palestine Our Destination, Humanitarian Aid Our Load” includes seven ships in total, two from Turkey, two from Britain, one from Greece and one from Ireland. The goal of the campaign is to support the Palestinian people, to show that arbitrary Israeli blockade is not recognized, to prove that the embargo can be legally broken, to put pressure on Egypt to open Rafah border, and to deliver humanitarian supplies.

The ships will be carrying tons of medication, medical equipment, cement and iron. Houses, hospitals and schools that were damaged in the last Israeli offensive have not been repaired yet, because Israel and Egypt do not let construction materials into Gaza under the embargo.

The flotilla of passenger and cargo vessels is expected to set sail in May. The vessels will be carrying over 1,000 passengers to Palestine including human rights advocates, activists, representatives of civil society, journalists and artists.

IHH president stated that ship-owners were refusing to rent their vessels for security concerns and they, therefore, decided to purchase vessels for the organization. He said: “The IHH has so far purchased two vessels, one passenger boat and one cargo ship. They were financed by donations to the Palestine fund. Mavi Marmara passenger ship was purchased at TRY 1,800,000 and the cargo ship at TRY 850,000. Mavi Marmara has the capacity to carry 200 tons and 1,080 passengers. And the cargo ship has a capacity of 3,500 tons. The flotilla will also be joined by three vessels from Britain, one from Greece and one from Ireland. There will be seven vessels in total.”

Responding to the question “What will be done with the ships after the organization?” Yıldırım said “The ships will be used in future aid flotillas. And after the removal of the embargo they will be donated to the Palestinian people.”

Route of flotilla

Passenger ships will depart from Istanbul and sail for Gaza in international waters, calling at the ports of Antalya, Kyrenia and Famagusta. The ships laden with relief supplies, however, will call at Istanbul and Mersin ports. Some of relief supplies will be loaded to ships in Istanbul, while those collected in Anatolian cities will be loaded in Mersin. The journey will take between 10 to 15 days depending on weather condition and possible Israeli hurdles.

What supplies will be carried in ships?

Many relief supplies that are not allowed into Gaza because of embargo will be carried in ships, including construction materials such as cement, iron, etc., generators (over 100 KW), MR devices (preferably new or less than two years old), ultrasound machines, dentist chairs and equipment, CBC blood testing and devices (preferably new or less than three years old), and electric wheelchairs. The participants will return to Turkey in the same ships after delivering relief supplies to Gaza.

Surat Izzat Risq Ke Syeikh Hasan Yusuf

2010-03-29 13:22:25

Saudaraku, Syeikh Hasan Yusuf!

Musuh-musuh yang tengah mengintai Anda dan Hamas ingin berbuat jahat, tapi Allah ta’ala malah meningkatkan kedudukan dan kemuliaan Hamas dan Anda. Walaupun Anda di penjara, bukan membuat Anda sedih, tapi tetap berharap, bersabar dan beriman kepada Allah yang Maha Besar. Itu yang pertama, dan yang kedua, percaya akan keadilan isu Palestina.

Gerakan kita, Hamas, yang kita loyal kepadanya, telah mempersembahkan figur-figur langka di medan jihad, aksi syahid, berpegang pada prinsip dan hak-haknya. Para pemimpin itu telah mendahului prajuritnya dalam meniti jalan syahid, jalan kemerdekaan, kesabaran, keteguhan dan kemenangan. Anda sekarang ini bagaikan gunung yang kokoh, wahai komandan jihad, tegar menghadapi ujian dan cobaan. Sebuah sikap yang disanjung pengagum Anda dan dikhawatirkan oleh para pendengki.

Adalah hal yang biasa kami hadapi, seorang ayah ditinggal syahid oleh anaknya atau sabar menunggu sang anak saat dipenjara hingga bebas. Namun saat sang ayah mengumumkan berlepas diri dari anaknya yang tersesat dari jalan yang benar dan mengikuti jejak setan. Maka hal itu adalah luar biasa, karena kita sering membaca sejarah para nabi dan rasul pilihan (ulul azmi) demikian adanya, diuji dengan anak dan keluarganya.

Maka seseorang diuji sesuai kadar keimanannya….

Anda telah diuji seperti ujian para nabi dan rasul....

Anda telah sabar seperti sabarnya kaum mukmin yang tulus....

Sikap berlepas diri Anda dari putera Anda, Mus’ab, yang disesatkan oleh setan dari golongan jin dan manusia, mencengangkan orang-orang yang ingin menghina sekolah yang mencetak Anda dan mencetak para pejuang. Juga mengajarkan kepada dunia bagaimana harus bersikap saat menghadapi ujian dan komitmen pada prinsip.

Sikap berlepas diri Anda itu telah memberikan pesan jelas, tak keraguan didalamnya, kepada semua orang:

Kami adalah pemimpin Hamas....

Anak madrasah Islam yang agung....

Yang tak memberikan loyalitas selain hanya kepada Allah Yang Maha Esa....

Saya dan Anda, Syeikh Yusuf, adalah manusia biasa bukan malaikat dan kami tidak mengklaim sebagai figur. Sikap ini sesuai dengan dakwah para rasul yang telah bersusah payah melakukan dakwah. Contoh saja, Nabi Nuh alaihis salam, mengajak umatnya siang dan malam, sembunyi atau terang-terangan, namun tidak bisa menyelamatkan anak dan isterinya. Ini adalah sunnatullah yang abadi yang tertera dalam Al-Qur’an; ”Sesungguhnya engkau, hai Muhammad, tidak bisa memberikan petunjuk bagi siapa yang kamu cintai, tapi Allah memberikan petunjuk bagi siapa yang Ia kehendaki.” Contoh lain, Nabi Ibrahim alaihis salam, Allah ta’ala memberinya dalil tapi tidak berhasil meyakinkan ayahnya akan dakwah yang diembannya. Padahal Ibrahim sangat mau dan belas kasihan kepada ayahnya. Ini terekam dalam firman Allah ta’ala yang artinya;”Wahai ayah, telah datang kepadaku ilmu (wahyu) yang tidak diberikan kepadamu, maka ikutilah aku, tentu aku akan berikan petunjuk yang lurus. Wahai ayah, jangan menyembah setan karena setan telah ingkar kepada Tuhannya. Wahai ayah, saya takut jika nanti engkau diberikan siksa oleh Yang Maha Pemurah karena engkau telah menjadikan setan sebagai pemimpin.” Kemudian Ibrahim berlepas diri dari ayahnya setelah tahu bahwa ia menjadi musuh Allah.

Saudaraku, Syeikh Hasan Yusuf!

Kebesaran yang hakiki bukanlah klaim akan ismah (kesucian diri) menjadi mahluk terbaik. Namun kebesaran yang hakiki adalah engkau berani menghadapi dunia dan seisinya walaupun engkau dibalik jeruji penjara Zionis Israel. Ketundukan Anda tak engkau berikan selain kepada Sang Pencipta. Engkau kini menjadi duri bagi orang-orang jahat Zionis itu yang telah menyiksa Anda, baik dengan diusir dan diasingkan ke Marj Zuhur. Kemudian Anda diuji dengan anak Anda, Mus’ab. Tapi Anda umumkan bahwa Anda memilih Allah dan rasul-Nya seperti yang digambarkan dalam firman Allah ta’ala;”Kamu tidak akan menemukan suatu kaum yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhir, memberikan belas kasihannya kepada orang yang menghalang-halangi Allah dan rasul-Nya. Walaupun mereka itu adalah bapak, anak, saudara dan kerabat mereka sendiri.”

Saudaraku, Hasan Yusuf!

Selamat kepada Anda, wahai sang pejuang, guru dan komandan..

Selamat kepada Anda, wahai sang penyabar....

Selamat kepada Anda, wahai seorang mukmin yang percaya dan hatinya tenang...

Ucapan selamat dari Hamas dan bangsa Anda, untuk Anda...

Umat harus bangga dengan sikap Anda ini....

Saudara, Hasan Yusuf!

Jangan sedih, sesungguhnya Allah ta’ala bersama kita..

Jangan sedih, sesungguhnya Allah ta’ala bersama kita..

Jangan putus asa, karena dia (Mus’ab) bukan keluarga Anda..

Karena setiap yang bebas mulia itu adalah keluarga Anda..

Setiap kader Hamas adalah anak Anda ...

Semoga Allah ta’ala membahagiakan Anda dengan keluarga Anda dan anak-anak Anda yang lain..

Merekalah penggantinya dan di sisi Allah pahala yang besar..

Dan Allah menguasai urusanNya namun banyak orang yang tidak mengerti.

Erdogan Kecam Rencana Agresi Israel ke Jalur Gaza

Erdogan Kecam Rencana Agresi Israel ke Jalur Gaza

Selasa, 06/04/2010 21:34 WIB

KNRP - Perdana Menteri Turki, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, telah megeluarkan pernyataan yang mengecam Israel atas agresi terhadap rakyat Palestina di Jalur Gaza.

"Kami tidak bisa menyaksikan pembunuhan anak-anak di Gaza dengan ketidakpedulian. Ini tidak manusiawi," katanya dihadapan sejumlah pejabat Turki yang tengah berkumpul untuk menandai peluncuran pertama stasiun TV Turki 24 jam berbahasa Arab, El Turkiye. Demikian sebagaimana dikutip oleh situs Israel, Ynet News, pada hari Senin (5/4).

"Arab dan Turki adalah saudara dan kami berbagi nilai yang sama," tambahnya.

Turki telah berulang kali mengkritik Tel Aviv sejak perang Desember 2008-Januari 2009 di Gaza, di mana pasukan Israel membantai lebih dari 1.400 orang Palestina melalui artileri, serangan udara, dan pengeboman lewat laut dari Jalur Gaza.

Ketegangan juga muncul pasca kunjungan duta besar Turki ke Tel Aviv yang dipermalukan oleh pejabat Israel. Hal ini terjadi setelah Israel menanggapi acara TV prime-time Turki yang menggambarkan agen Mossad sebagai pembunuh dan penculik anak-anak.

Departemen Luar Negeri Israel menanggapi komentar Erdogan dengan mengeluarkan pernyataan yang berbunyi, "Israel tidak mencari konfrontasi dengan negara manapun, termasuk Turki. Namun, tampak seolah-olah perdana menteri Turki ingin menjadikan permasalahan dunia Muslim sebagai tanggung jawab Israel."

Pernyataan tegas dari Erdogan memang dipandang benar dan tepat oleh sebagian besar kalangan internasional. Apalagi dengan melihat upaya pembangunan pemukiman di Yerusalem dan penghancuran masjid Al-Aqsha yang belum selesai, Israel seolah bagai anjing yang kelaparan hendak menerkam dan menghabisi seluruh penduduk Palestina.

Mesir Percepat Pembangunan Dinding Baja

Rabu, 07/04/2010 08:01 WIB

KNRP - Pembangunan tembok baja yang sedang dibangun oleh Mesir di perbatasan Mesir dengan Jalur Gaza, untuk memerangi banyaknya terowongan yang digunakan oleh orang-orang dari Gaza untuk menyelundupkan barang dan kebutuhan pokok mengalami akselerasi luar biasa sejak dimulai awal tahun ini.

Menurut saksi mata dari pihak Palestina di perbatasan kepada aljazeera, Selasa (6/4), mengungkapkan bahwa pemerintah Mesir telah menambahkan jumlah peralatan dan ekskavator yang digunakan untuk mengerjakan dinding itu di sepanjang perbatasan dengan Jalur Gaza.

Pengerjaan dinding baja itu terkonsentrasi pada dua bagian yang terletak di timur dan barat perbatasan Mesir dengan Gaza yang membentang dari pantai Mediterania di barat ke persimpangan Kerem Shalom di sebelah timur sepanjang 14 km.

Dalam konteks ini, seorang pejabat keamanan Palestina menegaskan bahwa pihak Mesir akhirnya mencoba mempercepat pembangunan tahap pertama dinding ini. Ia juga menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah Mesir mengklaim telah menyelesaikan pembangunan itu sekitar 50 sampai 60 persen.

Lalu pejabat Palestina yang enggan disebutkan namanya itu memprediksi bahwa sebelum akhir tahun ini dinding itu akan selesai jika Mesir terus mengerjakannya dengan kecepatan seperti saat ini.

Pejabat itu menambahkan, piringan dinding baja yang dibenamnkan oleh pemerintah Mesir di kedalaman tanah sampai 18 sampai 20 meter itu adalah piringan yang sama yang sebelumnya pendudukan Israel menggunakannya dalam mengontrol perbatasan dengan sisi Mesir sebelum penarikan dari Jalur Gaza pada musim panas 2005.

Dia melanjutkan bahwa berwenang Mesir sejauh ini belum secara sengaja membenamkan piringan baja itu sepenuhnya di daerah di mana di sana terkonsentrasi banyak terowongan bawah tanah sampai selesainya tahap akhir dari pembangunan tembok itu.(milyas/aljzr)

Kenyataan Media MAPIM

Kenyataan Media
7 hb April 2010

MAPIM USUL DEWAN RAKYAT KELUARKAN RESOLUSI KHAS ISU GAZA DAN JURUSALEM TIMUR , AHLI PARLIMEN MALAYSIA TURUT SERTA DI MISI FLOTILLA KE GAZA SERTA SOKONG PROGRAM KONVOI NASIONAL MAPIM UNTUK GAZA PADA 8 HB Mei 2010
MAPIM mengusulkan supaya Dewan Rakyat yang kini sedang bersidang mengeluarkan resolusi khas mengutuk keganasan Israel yang sehingga hari ini terus melakukan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia ke atas rakyat Gaza .

MAPIM adalah jawatankuasa gabungan badan-badan Islam Malaysia yang terdiri dari 24 organisasi gabungan negeri dan kebangsaan yang berfungsi untuk menegakkan keadilan dan kesatuan umat Islam berasaskan petunjuk Al Quran dan As-Sunnah




Semenjak Israel mengganas ke atas Gaza pada awal 2009 dalam serangan 22 hari yang bertujuan membunuh dan menghancurkan Gaza , malangnya sehingga kini kezaliman Israel masih tidak berhenti.
Termasuk juga ialah tindakan Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Natanyahu yang terus berdegil membina kependudukan di Jurusalem Timur walaupun ia suatu yang jelas bertentangan dengan undang-undang antarabangsa.
Parlimen Malaysia perlu sekali lagi menyatakan pendirian tegas terhadap keganasan tidak berperikemanusiaan Israel yang terus melancarkan serangan keatas Gaza, disamping membina tembuk besi disepanjang sempadan Gaza – Mesir serta mengenakan kepungan keatas Gaza sejak 2006 lagi.
Situasi terkini menunjukkan kepungan ke atas Gaza dan serangan yang masih dilakukan oleh Israel telah menjadikan Gaza berada dalam keadaan dharurat.
Dengan tindakan zalim itu pada hakikatnya Israel bertujuan untuk meneruskan tekanan ke atas seluruh populasi Gaza melalui pemusnahan segala kemudahan awam yang ada .
Kami ingin mengingatkan kepada semua Ahli Parlimen Malaysia bahawa serangan Israel pada awal 2009 yang mengakibatkan 1400 orang awam yang terbunuh , puluhan sekolah , masjid , hospital , ambulan , stor ubatan , bangunan PBB yang musnah, namun sehingga kini rakyat Palestin di Gaza terus menderita.
Walaupun laporan khas dari Suruhanjaya PBB iaitu Goldstone Report telah mendedahkan bukti betapa dalam serangan 2009 itu , Israel telah bertindak luar biasa dengan serangan ganas yang tidak proporsional dengan serangan balas HAMAS , dan sepatutnya Israel diheret ke Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa , akan tetapi tidak ada tindakan berkesan yang dilakukan ke atas Israel sehingga hari ini.
MAPIM berpendirian bahawa Malaysia tidak harus tunduk kepada mana-mana kuasa Barat untuk terus menegaskan pendirian mengutuk Israel dan berusaha agar hak rakyat Palestin dikembalikan dan Israel dihukum di atas segala pelanggaran hak assasi manusia berdasarkan undang-undang antarabangsa yang dilakukannya ke atas Gaza.
MAPIM berpendirian Malaysia sebagai negara yang berdaulat perlu menegaskan prinsipnya untuk tidak mengiktiraf Israel dan memastikan segala perhubungan rasmi samada dalam perdagangan , ekonomi , ketenteraan , kebudayaan , sukan mahupun diplomatik tidak diadakan dengan Israel samada secara langsung atau tidak langsung.
MAPIM menerima maklum bahawa sebuah koliasi sudah terbentuk di Turkey dalam usaha untuk memecah kepungan Israel ke atas Gaza. Koliasi ini menggabungkan beberapa organisasi dan pergerakan yang bergerak untuk memecah “blockade” ke atas Gaza. Ia melibatkan sebuah organisasi berpejabat di Turki iaitu IHH (Insani Yardim Vakfi) dengan
“European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG)”, “Greek Ship to Gaza campaign”, “Swedish Ship to Gaza campaign” dan “Free Gaza Movement”.



Mereka sudah melancarkan dan mengumumkan sebuah misi “flotilla” kapal-kapal laut yang dimuat dengan kargo , wakil media , ahli parlimen , selebriti dan aktivis untuk ke Gaza bulan depan.
Rombongan kapal-kapal (flotilla) paling kurang 8 buah itu , termasuk 3 kapal kargo , akan berlayar dari beberapa pelabuhan Eropah bermula 3 hb Mei dan dijangka tiba di pelabuhan Gaza dalam bulan tersebut.
Lebih 5,000 ton kargo termasuk semen , bahagian-bahagian rumah pasang siap , bahan binaan yang lain , peralatan perubatan dan alat-alat pendidikan akan dibawa untuk diserah kepada rakyat Palestin di Gaza.
The Free Gaza Movement telah melancarkan beberapa kapal ke Gaza sejak Ogos 2008 , bersama dengan pelbagai organisasi dan aktivis dari serata dunia. Pada Disember 2009 , IHH telah menggerakkan misi konvoi darat dengan membawa beberapa ton bekalan bantuan kemanusiaan.
Pada Januari 2010 , Kempen Eropah telah membawa 50 ahli parlimen ke Gaza untuk menunjukkan solidariti dengan rakyat Palestin dan menyaksikan sendiri kemusnahan akibat serangan Israel dan segala polisi Israel yang melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa.
Sementara itu misi kapal untuk Gaza dari Greece dan Sweden sudah melancarkan kempen untuk meningkat kesedaran awam dan mengumpul dana untuk usaha membawa bantuan kepada rakyat Palestin di Gaza.
Kata IHH President Bulent Yildirim.“Through this coalition, these organizations will be able to maximize resources, experience and commitment to ending the illegal siege on Gaza. Even as Israel continues its daily persecution of Palestinians, we will use this action to wake the world’s consciousness about the crimes committed against Palestinians,”
Kami juga telah dimaklumkan bahawa sebuah kapal kargo telah dibeli dari tabung yang dikumpul dari rakyat Malaysia untuk menyertai misi tersebut.
Dengan yang demikian MAPIM berpendapat sangat wajar paling minima 2 orang ahli Parlimen Malaysia menyertai misi flotilla ini disamping menghasilkan sebuah usul khas mengutuk keganasan Israel terhadap rakyat Palestin.
MAPIM juga menyatakan gesaan untuk semua ahli Parlimen Malaysia menandatangani sokongan memorandum MAPIM yang akan dihantar kepada Setiausaha Agung PBB dan rombongan misi flotilla tersebut supaya mesej rakyat Malaysia mengenai isu Palestin dapat dipertegaskan.
MAPIM mengsasarkan kutipan paling minima bernilai RM 1 juta dapat dikumpul dikalangan rakyat Malaysia untuk menyumbang kepada bantuan barangan yang akan dibawa bersama dalam misi tersebut .




MAPIM ingin mengumumkan sebagai simbol penyertaan rakyat Malaysia bersama misi flotilla itu , suatu KONVOI NASIONAL MAPIM UNTUK GAZA akan diadakan pada 8 hb Mei 2010 di Stadium Melawati , Shah Alam , Selangor. MAPIM merencanakan minima 50 buah kereta akan bergerak dalam konvoi dari setiap negeri untuk berhimpun jam 5.00 petang di Shah Alam. Tujuannya adalah untuk membangkit kesedaran dan sokongan rakyat Malaysia kepada perjuangan rakyat Palestin. Acara kemuncak konvoi tersebut adalah perhimpunan perdana di Stadium Melawati bersama dengan pemimpin-pemimpin rakyat bagi menyatakan sokongan untuk membebaskan Palestin dari cengkaman Israel.

Yang Benar

An open letter to UN Sec Gen Ban Ki Moon from Malaysia Parliamentarians and Civil Society of Malaysia on the besieged people of Gaza

7th April 2010
Your Excellency
Mr Ban Ki Moon
The UN Secretary General
We are fully aware it is with clear conscience that the plight of the Palestinian in Gaza is a deep concern of your office. The worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza should be your highest concern since the Israel’s devastating military attacks and its siege.
You have expressed the blockade of Gaza “unacceptable.” This is definitely a gross understatement. The ongoing, illegal, crippling Israeli siege is to describe the least Israel’s death and destruction operation. The situation has even prompted the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights, Richard Falk, to describe it as “a prelude to genocide”.
We acknowledge and salute UN’s effort under your leadership that has organized , though too late , a UN Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict. The highly respected South African judge, Richard Goldstone, has proven Israel guilty of “war crimes and possible
crimes against humanity,” as did major international human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
In the Goldstone report it concluded that Israel’s war on Gaza was “designed to punish, humiliate and terrorize a civilian population, radically diminish its local economic capacity both to work and to provide for itself, and to force upon it an ever increasing sense of dependency and vulnerability.”



Mr. Ban Ki Moon
The fact was clearly tabled. Since the imposition of the blockade by a UN member state, namely Israel, and the massacre of 1434 Palestinians, 90 per cent of whom were civilians, including 434 children through deliberate and calculated physical destruction of the Palestinians in Gaza by use of military aggression and imposition of the blockade by Israel fits the very criteria of genocide as stated in the 1948 Genocide Convention. Israel’s attacks have damaged or completely destroyed many public buildings and have according to the UN’s own OCHA report as of April 30, 2009, severely damaged or completely destroyed some 21,000 family dwellings.
Gaza , after the Israeli onslaught in 2008-09, was described by Professor Sara Roy, an expert on Gaza, “a land ripped apart and scarred, the lives of its people blighted. Gaza is decaying under the weight of continued devastation, unable to function normally…” Professor Roy concludes that “[T]he decline and disablement of Gaza's economy and society have been deliberate, the result of state policy--consciously planned, implemented and enforced... And just as Gaza's demise has been consciously orchestrated, so have the obstacles preventing its recovery."
The Red Cross called the Israeli assault “completely and utterly unacceptable based on every known standard of international humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles and values.”
Israel is intent on destroying Gaza because World official bodies and leaders choose to say and do nothing. The brazen refusal of Israel to cooperate with the decision of the International Community to re-construct Gaza, for which several billions of Euros were pledged, should not be tolerated.
We endorse the call by many international organizations to call on you to use your position as Secretary General of the UN, the world body responsible for holding all governments accountable for the safeguarding of the human rights of all peoples under International Law to bring to bear on Israel the full force of your mandate to open the borders of Gaza to allow the import of building materials as well as all the other requirements for decent living conditions for us, the besieged Palestinians of Gaza.
The people of Gaza is facing the full brunt of Israel’s siege even more painful after the onslaught. They are suffering from the contamination of water, air and soil, since the sewage system is unable to function due to power cuts necessitated by lack of fuel to the main generators of the Gaza power grid. Medical conditions due to injuries from phosphorous bombs and other illegal Israeli weapons as well as from water contamination cannot be treated because of the siege. In addition to the ban on building materials, Israel also prevents many other necessities from being imported: lights bulbs, candles, matches, books, refrigerators, shoes, clothing, mattresses, sheets, blankets, tea, coffee, sausages, flour, cows, pasta, cigarettes, fuel, pencils, pens, paper... etc.



Mr. Secretary General,
We are aware all these are within your knowledge. It is now the time for you to live up to your responsibility and speak for the suffering people of Gaza to those who hold the keys that could easily end the barbaric blockade, as the first step towards the implementation of all UN resolutions in Palestine.
We are informed of a brave and noble move organized by several international NGO’s in Europe , Greece , Sweden , Ireland and Turkey that an international flotilla is underway to sail across in spring to brake the siege by sea. Several cargo and passenger vessels ( at Least 8 till this date) are being prepared to ship humanitarian aid, together with parliamentarians , the media , celebrities and activists on board as . The intention is to break the more than 3 years of Israel’s siege on Gaza. The effort is one of a show of people’s defiance to a consistent violator of human rights and international law , that is Israel with the full support of the USA.
We call on you to use your mandate to prevail on Israel to allow passage for the flotilla to land on the Gaza shore . As much as Israel and USA is adamant about pursuing their aggressive policy towards Gaza and Palestine , we are also persistent and resolve in our position and effort to continue our support to the liberation struggle and bring justice for the oppress people of Palestine.
We await your response , the soonest possible.

Thank you.

Gaza aid convoy is carrying on its modest journey. A long, tiring journey awaits convoy participants, but no one is complaining about this. Participants sleep in sports hall, in sleeping bags. A modest trip in every aspect. There are people with different

The convoy that departed from Britain passed through France, Italy, Greece, Istanbul, Ankara, Konya, Adana, and arrived in the city of Gaziantep. It will make its way through Syria, Jordan and finally enter Gaza from Egypt.

A long and exhaustive journey lies before the convoy team that is moving under the banner of “Viva Palestina.” No one is complaining about the long journey, sleeping in sports hall in sleeping bags and modest conditions.

Common destination

There are people from Turkey, Britain, the United States, France and Italy, namely from diverse ethnicity and language, in the 200-vehicle convoy; however, all have a common goal: to reach Gaza and break the embargo.

The determination of woman drivers in the convoy is quite interesting. Journalist Rada Daniell, 53, and teacher Josephine, 55, are taking two ambulances to Gaza. Daniell has been driving since the convoy departed from London. Asked if she hadn’t got tired after driving for so long, she replied: “Palestinians are tirelessly fighting for six decades. My tiredness is nothing compared to theirs.”

Her fellow traveler Josephine said: “Unfortunately our government is remaining silent. This is an embarrassment for them. We decided to act when our government failed to do so. We purchased two ambulances with the money we raised among ourselves and now we are taking them to the Palestinian people.”

She broke her leg, but resumed journey on wheelchair

Sara Jawhari, 20, had an accident in Konya and broke her leg, but didn’t give up. She is now travelling on a wheelchair. She was born in the United States but she is of Palestinian origin and has relative in Palestine. This is the first time she is visiting Palestine. She studies journalism and is one of the youngest people in the convoy. The US media is always publishing reports that justify Israel, she said. She is trying to do away with this prejudice together with her friends and that is why she has joined the convoy. Upon her return to the US, she will write what she observed in Gaza, inform people around herself and attend meetings regarding this issue.

When we told her “Your leg is broken. Isn’t hard for you to carry on the journey? You can return to the US,” she replied: “I will not give up even if both of my legs were broken.” In other words, everybody has committed themselves to this cause. In every city they visit, convoy participants are asked how they will enter Gaza. However, they keep their hopes high. With Allah’s assistance we will enter Gaza, they say. Everyone is excited and believes they will be able to enter Gaza.

Bülent Yıldırım, president of the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, was impressed by the ardor of the convoy participants. He repeatedly praised the British team in his speeches. “They are doing what we Muslims should be doing. Every Muslim community should learn a lesson from this,” he said.

The convoy will be in Syrian on 20 December.

“Coalition to Break the Blockade on Gaza Announced”

Istanbul, Turkey – Following months of preparation, a coalition
bringing together a number of organizations and movements working to
break Israel’s illegal blockade on Gaza was announced yesterday in
Istanbul. The coalition, comprised of the Turkey-based IHH (Insani
Yardim Vakfi) organization, the European Campaign to End the Siege on
Gaza (ECESG), the Greek Ship to Gaza campaign, the Swedish Ship to
Gaza campaign and the Free Gaza Movement, will launch a flotilla of
ships laden with cargo, media, parliamentarians, celebrities and
activists to Gaza next month.

The flotilla will be composed of at least eight vessels, including
three cargo ships, and will set sail from European ports starting on
May 3, reaching the port of Gaza later in the month. Over 500
passengers from more than 20 countries will take part, and over 5,000
tons of cargo, including cement, prefabricated housing, other building
materials, medical equipment, and educational supplies will be
delivered to Palestinians in Gaza.

The Free Gaza Movement has been launching ships to Gaza since August
2008, partnering with organizations and activists around the world on
these missions. In December 2009, IHH led a land convoy to Gaza that
brought tons of humanitarian aid and other supplies. In January 2010
the European Campaign brought 50 parliamentarians to Gaza in
solidarity with the Palestinian people and to witness the devastation
wrought by Israel’s illegal policies. Ship to Gaza/Greece and Ship to
Gaza/Sweden meanwhile have had ongoing campaigns in their countries to
raise awareness and funds for this effort and for materials to be
brought to Gaza.

“Through this coalition, these organizations will be able to maximize
resources, experience and commitment to ending the illegal siege on
Gaza. Even as Israel continues its daily persecution of Palestinians,
we will use this action to wake the world’s consciousness about the
crimes committed against Palestinians,” said IHH President Bulent
Yildirim.

The coalition invites organizations and individuals from around the
world to join the effort by providing supplies for Gaza and
contributing financial support for the mission.
