KUALA LUMPUR — It might have been a wet, rainy workday, but this did not put off the thousands who made their way to the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil for the Malaysia Stands with Palestine Rally on Tuesday night (Oct 25).
People attend the Solidarity with Palestine rally in the wake of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, October 24
Although chants of “Allahu Akbar” could be heard amid the steady chorus of “Free Palestine”, many whom Malay Mail spoke to didn’t think that the ongoing Israel-Hamas war was a religious one. “I pity the innocent people. I hope the war will stop,” he said, noting that ordinary people can only go out and rally in support of the Palestinian cause.
This was followed by a series of speeches on the history and developments of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, including by Palestinian ambassador to Malaysia Walid Abu Ali.
