In Indonesia and Malaysia, large protests in support of Palestine and against the ‘Israeli’ ground offensive in Gaza took place over the weekend. Protests involved thousands of people in Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. Malaysian protesters condemned ‘Israel’s actions and were joined by prominent politicians from various parties. Similar rallies and prayers for Palestine were held in mosques across Malaysia. Both countries have a long history of supporting the Palestinian cause. They called for an end to violence and a resolution of the ‘Israeli’-Palestinian conflict based on U.N. parameters. These protests reflect the strong sentiment in the Muslim-majority Southeast Asia in favor of the Palestinian cause. (Source: The Diplomat)

Comment:
Despite the massacres carried out by the Zionist regime, along with the major countries supporting this accursed regime, the global public still stands with Palestine. This is evident from various actions happening worldwide, in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia, and America.

The reality of global public support for Palestine and condemnation of the Zionist regime indicates that, all along, those supporting the colonial regime were only political elites of the states who did not represent the interests of their populations at all.

This is a positive sign that there is still great hope for the Palestinian Muslim liberation struggle, supported by the global community. However, the liberation of Palestine cannot be achieved solely through reactive public responses. It must be led by ideologically motivated Islamic political groups capable of building and leading a strong Islamic state, working together to free the Muslim Palestinians from Jewish Zionist colonization today. God willing, that time will not be long from now… Amen.
