Nurul Izzah on Racial Polarisation and Far-Right Movements

Israel has continued its destruction of Gaza and refugee camps in Rafah. Around 40 000 Palestinians have been killed, half of whom are children. Besides “weak” statements about “red lines” The United States of America, currently led by Joe Biden, has continued to give their full backing to Israel.

But a couple of things for Malaysians to ponder. One, are we doing enough to help Palestinians? Two, why is it that in many parts of the world, the struggle for Palestinian liberation has reinvigorated progressive forces, but in polarised Malaysia, even this issue is used to sow division around racial lines?

We have a conversation with YB Nurul Izzah Anwar, Vice President of KEADILAN.
