Your comments on Indonesia'€™s unwavering support for Palestine'€™s struggle for independence during the recent Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) conference in Jakarta:

Indonesia with a 250 million population will stand as a leader in the Islamic world. It is also the leader of Southeast Asia. Indonesia has strong bargaining power and a strategic position in international affairs.

The first thing they should ask Palestinians to do is stop firing rockets into Israeli territory. Then sit down and negotiate a peace treaty with Israel.

Loh Taun


The Palestinians have acknowledged Israel'€™s right to exist time and time again. Those having problem in acknowledging the right to exist are the Israelis about a state of Palestine.
