Where is PAS? Where is Bersatu? Why the silence? Is it because it took place in Kelantan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy has no action been taken against those who flew the Israeli flags at Sungai Kelantan until now? The authorities must act fast, no double standards,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, more than 1,000 boats took part in an 8km convoy on the Kelantan River in support of Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was at least one boat with Israeli flags being flown with passengers acting as Israeli forces with \u201cdetainees\u201d on the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, the organisers of the convoy said this was merely a re-enactment and simulation of what happened to the participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its event director, Khairul Hafiz Hassan, said there was no intention of glorifying Israel, but only to give attendees an accurate re-enactment of the situation faced by the humanitarian mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He believed that none of the over-10,000 visitors saw an issue with this as they understood the message that was being conveyed, and urged others against sensationalising this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akmal, Rayer slam flying of Israeli flags in Kelantan flotilla \u2018simulation\u2019 Akmal, Rayer slam flying of Israeli flags in Kelantan flotilla \u2018simulation\u2019 FMT Reporters More than 1,000 boats took part in an 8km convoy on the Kelantan River in support of Palestine on Oct 10.
