Here’s How Malaysia Can Do More to Help Palestinians

Israel has continued its bombardment and genocide in Gaza. The Zionist regime, which is a settler colonial military force backed by Western Imperial Powers… has killed at least 8306 Palestinians in Gaza since the 7th of October. UNICEF has said that approximately 420 children are killed every single day in Gaza. Journalists have been killed – doctors,  nurses and United Nations staff too. More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel. To remind everyone, this “conflict” did not start on the 7th of October 2023. The Palestinians have suffered ethnic cleansing and oppression by Israel for 75 years. Israel is an Apartheid state. 

Now, colonialism and ethnic cleansing have led to the displacement of millions of Palestinians over the decades, many of whom have sought refuge in countries around the world, including Malaysia. But are we doing enough?

We speak to Heba Shehab, Palestinian Student in Malaysia and Lubna Sheikh Ghazali, Legal Services and Solutions Manager, Asylum Access.
