MAJLIS BELIA PULAU PINANG (MBNPP) AKAN MENYERTAI PERHIMPUNAN MEMPROTES SERANGAN ISRAEL BERSAMA PERSATUAN PENGGUNA PULAU PINANG (CAP) PADA HARI JUMAAT, 9 JANUARI 2009 JAM 2.00 PETANG [SELEPAS SOLAT JUMAAT] DI MASJID KAPITAN KELING, GEORGETOWN, PULAU PINANG.
Saya menyeru semua orang yang cintakan kedamaian serta keamanan meluangkan sedikit masa tanda sokongan dan simpati kita kepada rakyat Palestin yang ditindas secara kejam.
MBNPP juga menyokong usaha kerajaan Malaysia untuk mendesak PBB agar mengadakan sidang khas berkaitan serangan ini.
Seterusnya MBNPP juga meminta agar kerajaan Malaysia menghubungi Kerajaan Mesir supaya sempadan Mesir - Palestin di Genting Rafah dibuka demi keselamatan rakyat Palestin. Sekiranya kerajaan Mesir enggan berbuat demikian, maka Malaysia perlu menghentikan sebarang usahasama di antara kedua-dua negara. Di antaranya Malaysia perlu menghentikan penghantaran pelajar dan juga tidak lagi menjadikan Mesir sebagai destinasi pelancongan rakyat Malaysia.
SAYA INGIN TEGASKAN BAHAWA PERHIMPUNAN INI TIADA KAITAN DENGAN ISU AGAMA, TETAPI IA ADALAH BERKAITAN ISU KEMANUSIAAN DAN KEDAMAIAN SEJAGAT.

Penang protest against Israeli attacks on Friday
By MANJIT KAUR
GEORGE TOWN: Penang-based Citizens International will hold a demonstration on Friday at Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling to protest the Israeli attacks on Palestine.
Its chairman S.M. Mohamed Idris said the protest would be carried out after Friday prayers at about 2pm, and that they expected people from all religions and races to participate.
He said the brutal massacre of the Palestinians by the Israeli military was a humanitarian issue which transcends religion.
“We also urge the people and the Government to boycott American-made goods and services.
“Each ringgit used to buy the American goods eventually becomes bullets to be fired at the hearts of the people in Palestine,’’ he told a press conference at the office of the Consumer Association of Penang here on Wednesday.
Mohamed Idris also urged the Egyptian government to immediately open the Rafah Crossing (between Egypt and Gaza Strip) to enable food, medicine and humanitarian aid workers to enter the Gaza Strip and provide relief to the victims.
He said due to the closure of the crossing, urgently needed food and medicine were being held up.
Mohamed Idris also applauded the initiative taken by the Malaysian Government to request for an emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly to discuss and take action on Israel’s attack on Gaza.
“We therefore urge the Government to take immediate and urgent action to get the majority of the members’ to consent to ... the session,” he added.
