Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (PKR-Ledang) has brought members of Parliament's attention to Israel's failure to uphold its pledges as a UN member according to the 1945 Charter of the UN.
Syed Ibrahim said this could be noticed while Israel is planning to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.
He said a petition, signed by all members of parliament, could send a clear signal of protest on the annexation plan by Israel over the occupied Palestininan territories in the West Bank, including the strategic Jordan Valley.
Syed has proposed to submit this petition to the United States' Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, UN and Asean Inter-parliamentary Assembly.
"I would like to propose that MPs sign a petition, through cooperation with the relevant NGOs, to express support and solidarity to the Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace."
"MPs should use their domestic, international and regional networks to mobilise assistance for Palestine and protest against the annexation plan," said Syed Ibrahim, who submitted the notice for the emergency motion on July 14 to seek actions by the Malaysian government on Israeli's annexation plan.
He also asked the government to acknowledge, support and assist any effort by NGOs in relation to protests against Israel.
He said the world has witnessed a lot of human rights violations committed by the Israeli regime against the Palestinian civilians.
"In the West Bank particularly, Israel's colonisation of the Palestinian lands began during 1967 Middle Eastern War. For over half a century, Palestinians have suffered from persecution by the Israeli regime."Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Prime Minister of Malaysia, called upon the international community during the 36th Asean Summit, to condemn Israel's annexation plan.
"Women and children are considered constant targets for Israel's atrocity and were killed in the most brutal manners. The inhumane acts by Israel must not be excused by civilised nations including Malaysia who seek peace and justice."
He said that the international community must also ensure that such a plan should never be executed.
He expressed how Malaysia was deeply concerned over Palestinians' fate amid the continued volatility in the Middle East.
The Israeli annexation plan was scheduled at first on July 1, but Israeli officials announced that the process would take place later this month in coordination with their American counterparts.
About 1,080 European MPs from 25 countries urged their leaders to take a step towards putting an end to this plan, according to AFP.

Well, next thing you know, FUKUshima happened. All were too busy to wonder if FUKUSraHell was behind it.
Me? I don't know much, but I know that I've learned to be skeptical of 'coincidences.'

And here's a good one: ".... He said the world has witnessed a lot of human rights violations committed by the Israeli regime against the Palestinian civilians. ...."
Israel is the biggest violator of UN Resolutions on the PLANET. It's a rogue State - there are no other words for it.
The power of the press & programming over & dumbing down of the proles is pathetically irritating.

There is a very high cost to be paid for honesty, just ask Julian Assange and the ex-CIA operative, John Kariarko.
However, good on the Malaysian pollies for manning-up and calling a spade, a spade.
