The Palestinian Diaries with Dr Peter Slezak: Why Being Jewish Doesn't Mean Being Zionist
In this unflinching episode, we speak to Australian philosopher and academic Professor Dr Peter Slezak, a philosopher and outspoken anti-Zionist advocate that has spent decades defending Palestinian rights.
As the child of Holocaust survivors, Dr Slezak offers a powerful moral lens on the crisis in Gaza, challenging the idea that support for Israel is synonymous with Jewish identity.
From the dangers of religious framing to the weaponization of Holocaust memory, he breaks down why Gaza is not a religious war, but a humanitarian emergency.

Malaysia supports global effort for Palestinian statehood
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has welcomed the growing international consensus to condemn Israel and support the push for Palestinian statehood. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the recent High‑Level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and Implementation of the Two‑State Solution in New York garnered broad backing for the two‑State solution. The meeting also urged urgent and sustained humanitarian aid, along with other supporting measures. "We welcome the international community's shift to condemn Israel and move towards pragmatic, action-oriented measures to resolve the question of granting a Palestinian statehood," he said in a statement on Saturday. Earlier, media reports indicated that the United Kingdom and France are among the latest countries preparing to formally recognise the State of Palestine. To date, more than 145 countries have extended formal recognition to Palestine. Meanwhile, Malaysia has reiterated its strong condemnation of the Israeli Zionist regime's continued atrocities in Gaza, voicing deep concern over the escalating humanitarian crisis. Mohamad said the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, following the relentless genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Israel, has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, injured nearly 150,000, and forcibly displaced 1.9 million amid the continued aggression. He said the continued blockade has choked humanitarian aid deliveries, caused severe shortages of food, water and medical supplies, and raising urgent fears of famine, with thousands, especially children, already facing starvation. "We are also deeply alarmed by the unfolding humanitarian crisis that the world has witnessed silently for the past 22 months. "Malaysia reiterates in the strongest terms that the Israeli Zionist regime must stop the killings, cease all attempts at forced displacement of Palestinians, and immediately end all blockade of humanitarian access and ensure unimpeded access of humanitarian aid. "Failure by Israel is a violation of international law, international humanitarian law and international human rights law," he said. Meanwhile, Mohamad urged an investigation into the brutal killings of more than 1,300 Palestinians who were waiting in line to receive aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) since late May this year. "These killings are preposterous and must be investigated, with the perpetrators brought to justice," he said. Mohamad said Malaysia reaffirmed its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their inalienable right to self-determination. "We remain steadfast in supporting the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and Palestine's rightful membership in the United Nations," he said.– BERNAMA

Israel's Gaza blockade causing severe humanitarian crisis, says Tok Mat
SEREMBAN: The ongoing blockade imposed by Israel in Gaza has severely restricted the delivery of humanitarian assistance, leading to critical shortages of food, clean water, medical supplies and fuel, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan ( pic ). The Foreign Minister said these developments have raised urgent fears of an imminent famine, with starvation and malnutrition already severely affecting thousands of civilians, particularly children. "Malaysia expresses grave, continuing concern over the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza as a result of the relentless genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Israel's Zionist regime. "Since October 2023, more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 150,000 injured, with 1.9 million Palestinians forcibly displaced amid the unrelenting aggression of Israel's Zionist regime," he said in a statement. Mohamad said Malaysia was also deeply alarmed by the unfolding humanitarian crisis that the world has witnessed silently for the past 22 months. He also condemned the brutal killings of more than 1,300 Palestinians waiting in line to receive aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation since May of this year, adding that this must be investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice. Malaysia, he said, wished to reiterate in the strongest terms that the Israeli government must stop the killings, cease all attempts at forced displacement of Palestinians, and immediately end all blockades of humanitarian access to ensure unimpeded access to aid. Failure by Israel is a violation of international law, international humanitarian law, and international human rights law. "We note the outcome of the recent high-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Questions of Palestine and Implementation of the two-state solution held in New York, which saw widespread international support for the realisation of a two-state solution with a call for urgent and sustained humanitarian assistance as well as a raft of other initiatives. "We welcome the international community's shift to condemn Israel and move towards pragmatic, action-oriented measures to resolve the question of securing Palestinian statehood," he said. Malaysia, he said, reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their inalienable right to self-determination. It also remains steadfast in supporting the establishment of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and Palestine's rightful membership in the United Nations.
