Perkasa to hold rally in Tel Aviv
Disclaimer at bottom of this post.
KUALA LUMPUR, MAY 31 – Outraged by the recent attack on the Mavi Marmara, local Malay-based NGO Perkasa will be going the extra mile in voicing its opposition against the state of Israel.
“Whenever the Jews attack the Palestinian people, our MPs always have something to say. But next week, they don’t do anything. They are cowards,” Perkasa chairman Ibrahim Ali told reporters today. “They talk about boycotting Starbucks and McDonalds, but one day later, they go back to order their McValue Meals.”
“We’ve had enough, so we’re going to take it directly to the Jews. And most likely through business class.”
Although not currently flying to Tel Aviv, Ibrahim hopes to pressure Air Asia to set a special route for its planes to charter to its airport. “Air Asia has routes that go towards England, so it shouldn’t be a problem to stop halfway.”
“After we land on the ground and check out of immigration in Tel Aviv, we will head towards the nearest stadium overlooking a Jewish navy base and address the people there. This will be a peaceful event, and will have nothing to do with the idea of pushing the Jews into the sea.”
Slated to take place tomorrow, the rally, which expects to see an attendance of over 10,000 people from all over Malaysia to gather in the still-unnamed stadium. Ibrahim also expects the government to pick up the tab for the former’s members’ airplane tickets. He stated that this would be a good chance for government to display its 1Malaysia spirit to the rest of the world.
When asked what measures Perkasa members will adopt if they were to be accosted by Israeli soldiers, Ibrahim said, “We will remind the Jews that touching the Malays is going directly against Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. If they dare to touch us with their tanks, we will remind them that it is an act of sedition, and call for the ISA to be used upon them.”
