Vid 1 - Himpunan Aman Palestin Kuala Lumpur

June 04, 2010 — Himpunan Aman Anti-Zionis dari Masjid Kg. Baru ke Kedutaan Amerika, Jln Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur

KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 -- Furore over Israel's attack over the Gaza-bound aid flotilla last Monday has not simmered, with a 10,000 strong crowd gathering in front of the US Embassy in protest today.

The protest, organised by Pakatan Rakyat and 30 non-governmental organisations (NGOs), originated at several mosques in the city after Friday prayers before the crowd proceeded towards the US Embassy, located in Jalan Tun Razak.

Disgruntled, the demonstrators condemned the Israeli raid and held the US administration partially responsible for the Israeli fatal attack on "Freedom Flotilla" ships, which were carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza in a bid to bust the three-year Israeli blockade of the enclave.
The irate demonstrators, mainly including opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, burnt the Israeli flag and chanted anti-Israel slogans.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim went into the embassy to deliver a letter signed by leaders of his Pakatan Rakyat alliance as well as the NGOs. The letter called on US President Barack Obama to condemn the violence against the flotilla and for Israel to end its blockade on Gaza.

"We are appalled and deeply disappointed by your weak and inadequate response on the matter," the letter said.
Speaking to media, Ibrahim blasted the US president for allegedly failing to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israelis.

Another vessel, the Rachel Corrie, which is sponsored by a Malaysian foundation, is set to arrive off Gaza on Saturday with Malaysian and Irish activists aboard.
Israel has said that intends to intercept any ship that could seek to breach its blockade of Gaza.

The 'Freedom Flotilla' consisted of seven ships, including a cargo ship funded by Kuwait raising the flag of Turkey and Kuwait, a cargo ship funded by Algeria, and a cargo ship funded by Europe from Sweden and Greece, and 4 vessels to transport passengers.

The ships of the fleet were laden with more than 10,000 tons of medical supplies, building materials, timber, 100 prefab houses to shelter tens of thousands of people who lost their homes during the Israeli war on Gaza in early 2009.

They were also carrying 500 electric vehicles for the handicapped, especially since the recent war that left nearly 600 disabled people in Gaza.
Israel has blockaded the Gaza Strip since the radical Islamist movement Hamas took de facto control of the salient in 2007.
