burn! burn! so said the chief.

whoa!! the high and mighty UMNO youth had spoken – it’s okay to burn flags (israeli, british, USA).

behold! what the chief said:

“Burn as many flags as you (Youth members) want,”

first he waved the kris around, and now he said it’s ok to burn flags. don’t forget… he is also the education minister.

“Umno Youth will create a tsunami wave of protest to force the mighty powers to bow to the demand for peace.”

demand for peace? but are they doing it in a peaceful, sensible way?

Hishammuddin said Umno Youth members had no option but to burn flags to reflect their anger, as other forms of protest fell on deaf ears.

then do you think burning a piece of cloth will get results?

“It is not in our culture to burn flags and effigies. But we understand now why some people are willing to die fighting after their lands are seized and families killed,” he added. 

oic. i guess it becomes your culture when the countries are like israel, US and britian. if it’s countries are like iraq, afghanistan, i guess we won’t see you burning thier flags/effigies.

last week a friend of mine mentioned to me regarding the demo lead by the ‘hero’ son-in-law. they were calling for a ceasefire, for peace, right, she said… but then why was the hero (or maybe some other demonstrators) holding a placard that reads “crush israel!”?? were they really calling for peace if they want israel to be crushed? weren’t they advocating voilence instead? why all these talk of innocent victims of lebanese and the atrocies done by israel, when we also have innocent victims of israelis and atrocies done by hezbollah?
