PETALING JAYA: The fact that neither Malaysia nor any other Muslim nation that claims to defend Palestine had hauled Israel to the United Nations’ top court calls for some self-reflection, says an academic.
Syed Farid Alatas of the National University of Singapore said Malaysia should support the International Court of Justice’s ruling that Israel must prevent genocidal acts and facilitate humanitarian aid into Gaza urgently.
He commended South Africa for exposing Western hypocrisy by challenging Israel’s actions at the ICJ, unlike Malaysia and other Muslim nations.
“Through the filing of this case, South Africa has shown the hypocrisy of the powerful nations of the West who claim to uphold the rule of law but failed to take Israel to task.
“It took a country from the global south to do that. It’s a pity that Malaysia and other Muslim nations did not play such a heroic role,” he told FMT.
