Abstract

Palestine is a holy land that is close to the Muslims. It is not only the land of the prophets but the locus of Masjid al-Aqsa in Palestine is the qibla of the Muslims and the location of Israk Mikraj. The end of the First World War (1914–1918) saw Palestine under the administration of the British Mandate in 1922 and the arrival of Jewish immigrants to the land. Since then, Muslims around the world, including the Malays, have continued to support the struggle of Palestinians. This article discusses the reaction of the Malays towards Palestinian oppression from 1930 until the end of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and the appointment of Tunku Abdul Rahman as the Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in 1970. A qualitative approach by means of library research methodology was adopted by referring to various primary sources, such as files, documents and newspapers, in addition to secondary sources, such as books, articles and theses. The study finds that the Malays have been following the issues of Palestinian oppression since 1930. The Malays have also persisted in supporting the Palestinians in a series of Palestinian-Jewish conflicts afterwards. In 1970, the Malays’ support for the Palestinians’ struggle reached its peak when Tunku was appointed as the Secretary-General of the OIC. The Malays’ support for the Palestinians’ struggle can also be seen in various forms, such as the establishment of a special committee for submitting a protest resolution; the publication of newspapers, magazines, and books to support the Palestinians’ struggle; monetary donations; and volunteers’ registration to fight Israel.


Palestin merupakan tanah suci yang cukup dekat dengan umat Islam. Ia bukan sahaja merupakan bumi para nabi, malah Masjid al-Aqsa di Palestin juga pernah menjadi kiblat umat Islam serta menjadi lokasi peristiwa Israk Mikraj. Sejak berakhirnya Perang Dunia Pertama (1914–1918) yang menyaksikan Palestin diletakkan di bawah pentadbiran British sebagai Mandat British di Palestin pada tahun 1922 dan kedatangan ramai imigran Yahudi ke Palestin, umat Islam di seluruh dunia terus memberikan sokongan terhadap perjuangan rakyat Palestin, termasuklah orang Melayu. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji reaksi orang Melayu terhadap beberapa isu penindasan rakyat Palestin sejak tahun 1930 sehinggalah berakhirnya Perang Arab-Israel 1967 dan pelantikan Tunku Abdul Rahman sebagai Setiausaha Agung Pertubuhan Kerjasama Islam (OIC) yang pertama pada tahun 1970. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif iaitu kaedah kajian perpustakaan dengan meneliti pelbagai sumber primer seperti fail dan dokumen serta akhbar, selain sumber sekunder seperti buku, artikel dan tesis. Kajian menunjukkan bahawa orang Melayu telah mengikuti dan menyokong isu penindasan rakyat Palestin sejak tahun 1930 lagi. Orang Melayu juga terus konsisten menyokong perjuangan rakyat Palestin dalam beberapa siri konflik Palestin-Yahudi selepas itu. Sokongan orang Melayu terhadap perjuangan rakyat Palestin mencapai kemuncak pada tahun 1970 apabila Tunku dilantik sebagai Setiausaha Agung OIC yang pertama. Sokongan orang Melayu terhadap perjuangan rakyat Palestin juga dapat dilihat dalam pelbagai bentuk seperti penubuhan jawatankuasa khas yang mengemukakan resolusi bantahan, penerbitan akhbar, majalah dan buku yang menyokong perjuangan rakyat Palestin dan pemberian sumbangan kewangan serta mendaftar nama sebagai sukarelawan bagi melawan Israel.
