This issue was all the rage especially on Malaysian social media last April. The world was appalled to see the Palestine-Israel crisis and the outbreak of violence especially has it happened on the holy month of Ramadhan to Muslims. We are talking about one of the longest humanitarian issues going on in the world. Malaysia also has majority given its support to Palestine especially with youths going on a social media war on Israelites themselves. Many misconceptions are heard on media and through all of this, what is actually going on? A religious dispute between Jews and Muslims- or is it a humanitarian issue? Apartheid or ethnic cleansing involved? Join AG and Aissa, from the Seek to Speak podcast as they spoke to Shefa'a Salleh from Friends of Palestine to understand what the truth behind all of this.
