Berita Daily - Embassy in East Jerusalem: Cabinet to discuss in detail (extracts):
KUALA LUMPUR: The cabinet will be discussing in detail next week if it is necessary for a Malaysian embassy to be placed in East Jerusalem, said Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein today.
He said the matter needed to be carefully studied before for proceeding further.
He said this in reference to Prime Minister Najib Razak’s view on having an embassy in Jerusalem.
“We need Wisma Putra, Finance Ministry and Home Ministry to produce information before we can come to a decision on this. It will be on the next cabinet’s agenda.

Before the pro Zionists and evangelistic Christians in Malaysia attain their heights of orgasm,, wakakaka, Hisham was referring to an Embassy for Palestine and not Israel.
In the scheme of international politics, the truth is Malaysia is but an insignificant nobody on matters pertaining to Palestine-Israeli matters, whether that be conflict, diplomacy or in general, other than to cast a pro Palestinian vote here and there.
That's all it can do. There is no harm in donating financial, food, medicinal or other types of aid but those would be comparatively minuscule in comparison to those coming from Europe, America or the biggies in the Arab World like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the Gulf nations, who all are in reality unfriendly to Palestine because of the latter's republicanism and (for Egypt) pro-Muslim Brotherhood.

Still, it's the sincerity of thought that counts, whether it be a mere one vote or comparatively minuscule aid donation.
But let's not get carried away by establishing an Embassy in East Jerusalem when the Israelis are in de facto (though not de jure) control. Those Israelis will go all out to kacau any nation silly enough to have its embassy for Palestine in East Jerusalem.
Let's wait and see, and focus on the BDS or Boycott, Divest and Sanction Movement against Israel. The BDS campaign is the Tai-Chi against the Yankee Bully-Boy and its Israeli master.
However, any Malaysian campaign against Israel especially on its annexation of East Jerusalem, its illegal settlements on Palestinian land in West Bank and its refusal to withdraw to behind lines determined by UNSC Resolution 242 is not only worthy but actually pleasing to the ears, minds and hearts of Muslims at home.
Thus in domestic politics there is much value in condemning US President Trump's maverick decision to move the US Embassy there.
I was not surprised by Lim Guan Eng being the first off the line in Malaysia in condemning POTUS' internationally illegal act - see my Guan Eng condemns Trump's illegal act.
At least Guan Eng criticised Trump's crazy decision before Hadi Awang, wakakaka, which kinda disproved Hadi's racist raving rant against DAP as 'unclean' and 'non-Islamic' and thus unfit to govern Malaysia ..... though DAP and its ally PKR are doing so in Penang, an intrinsic part of Malaysia, wakakaka.
But Hisham was too excessively gungho earlier about the Malaysian military being ready to rock-n-roll into Jerusalem, thus he should now refrain from making further hyper-political promises like establishing a Malaysian Embassy for Palestine in East Jerusalem.
When we get f**k-ed administratively by the Israeli authorities on our proposed embassy in East Jerusalem, we'll not only look like fools but also like another of Israeli militarily beaten-up nations.
Just remember, focus on this, the BDS or Boycott, Divest and Sanction Movement against Israel. Malaysians will support Palestinians more effectively this way.
But be fair and do NOT recklessly boycott anyone based on khabar angin as an internet gossip or Facebook allegations of, say, Coke A being pro Israel can turn out be a dirty-trick campaign promoted and propagated by Coke B, wakakaka, and vice versa.
But also be brave and make some personal sacrifices if you want to participate in BDS sincerely, as you will get detractors who will deliberately taunt you that, for example, since some computer chips etc come from Israel or are Israeli made, you should rip them out of your PC.
That's old bullshit. Intel informed the media that its chips are made in several places like in the USA, Ireland, yes Israel and China. There's no need to be unnecessarily pedantic over this issue.
Just stick to patently clear items like foodstuff (eg. oranges, apples, cherries, plums, mangoes, nectarines, grapes, dates, strawberries, pears, persimmon, loquat and pomegranates).

loquats - get the ones produced in China or Japan |
Israel is the leading producer of loquat), cut diamonds, electrical goods, pharmaceutical stuff etc) which carry the label 'Made (or Produced) in Israel'.
Remember, when you encounter a militarily or politically more powerful opponent(s), resort to soft campaign like BDS. At present, the BDS is the best and only way for Malaysians and the World (especially Europe) to effectively punish the Israelis and Americans for their arrogance. The Europeans are already doing their parts extremely well such as, one example, boycotting Israeli universities and academicians.
