PRESS STATEMENT: THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CRISIS: WHY IT IS NOT LONGER ABOUT RELIGION BUT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

1. Malaysia is deeply saddened and disappointed by the war crime and violent attack by the Israelites against Palestinians which obviously violates the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention. The heartless and cruelty of the Israeli’s regime of violence and widespread bombing has clearly violated the international law, human rights law, international humanitarian law and the Charter of the United Nation.

2. As I follow closely with the latest developments and news updates in Palestine, I am deeply disturbed and devastated to know that until now, the UN Security Council has not issued any statement on the current situation in Palestine even after reports by the Palestinian Health Ministry on the innocent and brutal death of 213 Palestinians and 1,500 civilians greatly injured in the attacks. Why is the UNSC ignoring this? Why are the Palestinians getting murdered daily in the land that belonged to their ancestors? It is only natural for them to defend their land and home from the attacks of the Israeli militaries’ attempt in forcefully expelling the residents from Sheikh Jarrah’s neighbourhood. Palestinians are not terrorist. Palestinians are human beings and all humans have the right to live freely without fear. Innocent children in Gaza should not be killed and must be protected at all cost.

3. The international community especially the UN Security Council should act swiftly in compelling Israel to stop its oppressive and violent attacks on Palestine. The cruel and despicable actions of the Israeli military, without a slight hint of compassion and mercy for Palestinians must be strongly condemned not only in Malaysia but also the rest of the world. This is not an issue of religion. A person doesn’t have to be a Muslim in order to stand and support Palestine. This is a worldwide issue and plight. We must collectively stand together in voicing out our repugnance on this wicked crime by Israel.

4. The Malaysian government has also reiterated their stand in consistently giving their strong political, economical and moral support to Palestine. Malaysia will also continue to support all efforts for a peaceful, just and lasting solution through negotiation involving all relevant parties based on international laws and the relevant UN resolutions.

5. I stand in solidarity and support in saving Palestine from the hands of tyrants. I condemn the Israeli attacks against Palestinians and call for Israel to immediately stop its aggression across the territory of Palestine. Don’t lose hope, Palestine. We mourn with you. We cry with you. We stand with you. We are praying for you. We are with you until the end.

ISU ISRAEL-PALESTIN: BUKAN LAGI ISU KEAGAMAAN, TETAPI ISU KEMANUSIAAN

1. Malaysia berdukacita dan kecewa dengan jenayah perang dan serangan ganas oleh pihak Israel terhadap Palestin yang jelas melanggar Konvensyen Geneva Keempat 1949. Perilaku tidak berperikemanusiaan dan kekejaman rejim keganasan Israel serta pengeboman besar-besaran jelas melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa, hak asasi manusia, kemanusiaan dan Piagam Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB).

2. Saya mengikuti perkembangan terkini berita di Palestin, sejak bulan suci Ramadan hingga Aidilfitri dan saya sangat sedih serta kecewa mengetahui bahawa sehingga kini, Majlis Keselamatan PBB (UNSC) belum mengeluarkan kenyataan mengenai keadaan semasa di Palestin walaupun setelah laporan Kementerian Kesihatan Palestin mengumumkan kematian 213 orang Palestin dan 1,500 orang awam tercedera dalam serangan itu. Mengapa UNSC mengabaikan perkara ini? Bagaimana nasib anak-anak Palestin yang tidak bersalah menjadi mangsa kezaliman ini? Mengapa mereka dibunuh setiap hari disebabkan tindakan keji tentera Israel di tanah milik nenek moyang mereka? Tindakan mereka yang mempertahankan tanah dan kediaman mereka adalah wajar bagi membalas tindakan tentera Israel yang secara paksa mengusir penduduk Palestin dari kawasan Sheikh Jarrah untuk membina penempatan haram orang Yahudi. Palestin bukan pengganas. Palestin adalah manusia dan mereka berhak untuk hidup bebas tanpa rasa takut. Kanak-kanak di Gaza tidak boleh dibunuh. Semua orang awam, pelarian, kanak-kanak, wartawan dan pekerja media mesti dilindungi dengan apa cara sekalipun.

3. Komuniti antarabangsa terutama Majlis Keselamatan PBB harus bertindak pantas dalam memaksa Israel menghentikan serangan yang menindas dan zalim ke atas Palestin. Ini bukan masalah antara agama dan tidak perlu menjadi Muslim untuk menyokong Palestin. Ini adalah isu sejagat. Kita harus bersama dalam menyuarakan bantahan terhadap kezaliman oleh Israel ini. Kerajaan Malaysia juga mengulangi pendirian mereka secara konsisten bagi memberikan sokongan politik, ekonomi dan moral secara padu kepada Palestin.

4. Malaysia akan terus menyokong segala usaha untuk penyelesaian yang damai dan adil melalui rundingan yang melibatkan semua pihak yang berkepentingan berdasarkan undang-undang antarabangsa dan resolusi PBB yang relevan.

5. Saya bersolidariti dan menyatakan sokongan untuk menyelamatkan Palestin daripada kezaliman Israel. Saya mengutuk serangan Israel terhadap Palestin dan menyeru mereka menghentikan segera pencerobohan di seluruh wilayah Palestin. Jangan putus asa, Palestin. Kami menyokong Palestin. Kami menangis bersama Palestin. Kami berdiri bersama Palestin. Kami sentiasa mendoakan Palestin. Selamanya kami bersama Palestin.

台灣最大公約數 – 反共去統不反中
The True Common Denominator of Taiwan

我察覺到一個新的台灣共識（最大公約數）正在成形，而且已經接近完成。雖然許多人還沒意識到這點，也還有一些人尚處在無感、或雖然有感但心理上拒絕的階段。

I sensed a New Taiwan Consensus is forming and near completion, although many are still not fully aware of it, some at the psychological stage of ignoring it and some even in total denial .

這新共識可以用三個原素的一句話來總結：反共、去統、不反中國平民。三元素環環相扣，構成了一個具有主旋律的直白命題：那些已經把台灣視為自己家鄉的人，已經把台灣當成一個與他方無涉的主體。

This New Consensus can be summarized in one expression with three parallel elements: opposing communism, de-unification and neutralness toward Chinese civilians. These three elements constitute an organic whole with a common theme that simply says, people who took Taiwan as their home deemed themselves as one distinct entity .

為了讓人們充分理解這三元素的意義，需要做一些進一步闡釋。我們這就開始。

I understand some elaboration may be needed to allow the three elements to be fully appreciated, especially the third one. Let me begin.

1. 反共。台灣其實並沒有那麼反對自由的社會主義；事實上，台灣社會本身在日常生活型態中就含有明顯的自由社會主義的痕跡。但是，台灣絕不會容忍社會主義精神脫序到共產主義的地步。若然，那種社會主義就是敵人，沒有討論的餘地。台灣海峽彼岸的中國共產黨（CCP），就屬於這一類。

1. Opposing Communism – Taiwan is not that much against liberal socialism. In fact,there is a rather obvious strain of it already existing in its social life. However, Taiwan would not tolerate socialism when carried away to the extent of communism, and would take it as enemy. Period. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the other end of the Strait falls into this category.

2. 去統。在台灣，不但老一輩了解中共天天掛在嘴邊玩弄的「統一」，只不過是其用來維持政權、控制已經被洗過腦平民的一種虛偽口號，而年輕一輩只會以荒謬視之。因而，此處並沒有用過去的「反統」一詞，而是用「去統」，表示了一種將「統一」概念徹底由腦中去除的意思。就像「大掃除」的意思一樣，老早就該扔掉的東西就把它扔掉。

2. De-Unification – Not only do the older generations realize that the jingling of
“unification” of the CCP is just a bogus slogan for upholding its regime’s control
over the brain-washed civilians, the young generation of Taiwan simply finds the
slogan ridiculous. Therefore, rather than using the term “anti-Unification” as people used to do in the past, I think “De-Unification” – the unshackling of the very idea of unification, as one can relate with the word “de-clutter”- is a better suited term.

3. 不反中，指的是對中國平民保持中性的態度。過去三年間，包括我自己以及國際輿論，已經破除了那個存在已久的迷思 – 中共CCP就等同中國。情況根本不是這樣的。中共不等同中國，更不用說等同中國人民了。中共是一個具有9千8百萬黨員的巨大政黨，但那只是住在那塊土地上的14億人當中的7%。

3. Neutralness towards Chinese Civilians – In the past three years, people in Taiwan including myself, as well as the international community, have debunked the long-existed myth that CCP Is China. No, far from it. CCP is NOT equivalent to China, let alone the Chinese people. CCP is a huge party of 98 million members and that accounts for only 7% of the 1.4 billion Chinese people living on that landmass.

簡單的算數就可以呈現真相。對任何國家，如果僅佔7%的人口可以在政治上完全控制100%的人口，唯一的可能就是實施殘酷暴力或通過暴力改變人的頭腦。

Simple math would tell the truth. In any nation, when 7% of the population politically controls 100% of the population, it would be an impossibility unless by brutal violence or total brain coercion.

中國平民本身就是受害者。其他的國家，不應該膝蓋反應式的把受害者視為天生就是邪惡的。因此，無論在心態上還是現實地緣政治考慮下，台灣社會都應該把「必反」這詞留給共產黨而不是受害的平民。

Therefore, considering the Chinese civilians are victims themselves, people from other parts of the world should not act in a knee-jerk way towards the ordinary, victimized Chinese Civilians as if they are born evil. Either under a proper mindset or the practicality associated with geopolitics, Taiwanese society should and is starting to understand this point. “Anti-“ is an attitude reserved for CCP and not intrinsically for the ordinary and mostly victimized civilians.

這才是台灣的最大公約數。然而，為了選票的政治人物及民調機構拖累了台灣。每年每月的民調都在問早已失效的問題：你偏藍還是偏綠？你贊成獨立還是統一？

Putting together the above three Elements, thus there is the New Taiwan Consensus. What’s falling behind and dragging Taiwan’s feet, are the ballot-hungry politicians and the various outdated polling agencies. They do so many so-called popular surveys every year, sometimes monthly. And they stick to the long invalid way of setting up their survey questions: Are you favoring Green (DPP) or Blue(KMT)? Are you pro-independent or Pro-unification?

這種自我設限或自我審查的問法，使得其他國家以為台灣是個分裂社會。

This kind of self-confined or self-censored surveys leave other nations the impression that Taiwan is a split society, Green or Blue, Independence or unification etc.

台灣這種導致外人認為台灣是個分裂國家的作法，實在愚蠢。如果問的問題對，台灣是沒有分裂的。例如，如果將「你贊不贊成獨立」改為「你反共不反共」，結果肯定是98%以上。

It’s such a foolish thing to do for Taiwan itself misleading outsiders into deeming Taiwan as a split country. There is absolutely no split should the right questions be asked in the surveys. For example, had the question been changed from “Are you pro-independence or anti-independence” into “Are you pro-communism or anti-communism”，then the result would have been a clear-cut 98% or even 99.5% towards “anti”.

若問「你是反中國共產黨還是反中國老百姓」，前者不會低於80%，後者不會高於20%。

Now, try this further question: “Are you anti-Chinese Communist Party, or anti-Chinese common people”, my guess is the former gets at least 80% and the latter gets 20% at most.

第三個問題：「你願不願意被共產黨統治」，保證結果是99.9%的「不願意」。
The third question: “Would you be willing to live under the Communist Rule”? That would guarantee a resounding NO answer of 99.9%.

這就是新台灣共識、社會的最大公約數，應該向世界大聲、清楚、不含糊的說出來。

This is exactly how the New Taiwan Consensus looks like – the true common denominator among a seemingly divided Taiwan. And the New Taiwan Consensus should be articulated to the rest of the world, no vagueness, no grey area and unambiguously.

不信的話，可以用上述問題做幾次民調。而且我保證，在不久的將來，所有民主國家都會端出類似「台灣共識」的政策原則。

For any surveyor or politician who still has doubts about this New Taiwan Consensus, he or she can just conduct new surveys with questions suggested as above. And, I myself am convinced, in a not-so-distant future, all democratic countries on the planet would issue national policies based on guidelines similar to the New Taiwan Consensus, for the goodness of their respective countries.

所以，台灣為什麼不這樣做呢？這可是台灣展示世界政治領導力的機會啊！

So, Hey, Taiwan! Why not put a thrust on this Taiwan Consensus to the world by publicizing it unambiguously and show some political leadership, just for once?

後記：以雙語向全球發聲，將是我接下致力的方向。所使用的這兩種文字，涵蓋了35億人口，接近地球的一半人數。這個行動，將以 「前哨預策」網站 為核心基地，其他的社交媒體，只要有傳播力道，都會被用為衛星來做整體運作。

個人的思考、判斷不一定對，您也不見得同意，但是，我保證這平台中的每一句話都是獨立的、出自內心的。而今天的台灣，乃至於世界，最缺的就是突破傳統成見、不受黨派左右、同時又知錯能改的獨立思考力量。不知您是否同意？

「前哨預策」平台將分為三步走：內容平台 – 互動平台 – 行動平台。剛誕生的它，當前還只是個內容平台，但達到一定數量的會員支持後，將加入各種新媒體形式，與會員就重要議題互動，並以「達成不同意見之間的最大公約數」為目標。一旦在會員內部形成「最大公約數」後，就構成了行動的基礎。至於行動的形式，也由願意推動或參與的會員決定。

此平台婉拒任何政黨、政府的贊助，只接受個人會員或企業會員的贊助；所有收入及贊助，均將用於「讓台灣更好」的事務上，以及推動、發揮台灣作為東亞及世界的「關鍵少數」的槓桿角色，為人類下一波文明做出量力而為的貢獻。

我只能說，十年來的不斷保持獨立，希望能換得您對「不受任何政黨、政府左右」這一點點價值的認同。

ZERO DISCRIMINATION DAY

Today is #ZeroDiscriminationDay and the start of Women’s Month! Everyone has the right to live with respect and dignity with ZERO DISCRIMINATION. The theme of this year’s Day is the fight against discrimination faced by women and girls, and the organization aims to raise awareness, mobilize action, and promote equality.

Gender discrimination has been continuing to threaten the hard work & progress for Human Rights. On this day, let us remember that AIDS remains the biggest killer of women aged 15-49 years. To end AIDS by 2030, we must collectively work together and end gender based violence inequality, insecurity and ensure that women and girls have equal access to education, health and employment.

Governments must promote inclusive social and economic growth. They must eliminate discriminatory laws, policies and practices in order to ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities.

But we can all play our part by calling out discrimination where we see it, by setting an example or by advocating to change the law. We all have a role to play in ending discrimination and so reducing inequalities.

Ending inequality requires transformative change. Greater efforts are needed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and there is a need to invest more in health, education, social protection and decent jobs.

The Zero Discrimination Day join us raising awareness about the inequalities that prevent people from living a full and productive life and demanding that governments fulfil their commitments and obligations to end all forms of discrimination.

「Me Too I Am 你我同在」
　　　　
這是我們第三年參加台中同志遊行，
回憶2017年我們在主舞台拿著麥克風爭取同性婚姻的權利，
2018年努力宣傳公投的兩好三壞，
2019年五月，同婚專法通過，平權踏出了一小步，
但需要努力的還有好多好多。
　　　　
　　　　
性平教育、子女親權、跨國婚姻，
或是不同性傾向的朋友們需要被理解，
需要讓每個多元的特質在生活裡不再因為不同而被排擠，
大家都能舒服自在的做自己，讓這個世界更友善。
　　　　
　　　　
2019年第八屆台中同志遊行，選擇以 #MeToo 作為核心，
讓每個人正視生活中，不論家庭、同儕或是社會，
我們都有可能不分性別、性傾向而遭受到性暴力，
卻不曉得該如何呼救，或是如何伸出援手。
此次遊行期許讓更多人重視這個議題，
重視身邊可能一直被我們忽略的傷害，
預防從你我開始。
　　　　
　　　　
謝謝辛苦的台中同志遊行聯盟，
謝謝每一位志工與警察先生，
謝謝幕前幕後的每一個人，
謝謝願意來到現場，或是無法來到現場卻支持的你們。
影片的最後，我們參加一對男同志伴侶的證婚，
期許這些滿滿的愛，能帶給你我更多勇氣，
能讓我們更有力量的往前邁進。
　　　　
　　　　
　　　　
“Me Too I Am We are together”
　　　　
This is our third year at Taichung Pride.
In 2017 we were on the stage advocating for marriage equality
In 2018 we were promoting ways to vote for queer rights in the referendum
In May 2019 laws were passed for same sex marriage, we moved a step ahead
However, there is so much more to be done.
　　　　
　　　　
Think about gender equity education, parenting rights, non-national couples
The queer population wants to be understood
We want to live freely as our true selves
Free from discrimination, in a world that welcomes us.
　　　　
　　　　
The theme for 8th Taichung Pride in year 2019 is #MeToo
It brings our focus to the hidden sexual violence happening in the society
It can happen to anyone, any gender, any sexual orientation
We may not know how to seek help, or how to help others
The organizers of this year’s Pride want to help us understand this a bit more
So that we can identify what is not acceptable
And we can prevent these from happening
　　　　
　　　　
A big thanks to the organizers for the Taichung Pride
Thanks to the volunteers and police officers
Thanks to everyone helping out
Thanks to all of you who were here, and those who wanted to be here but couldn’t
At the end of this video you will be able to see the wedding of a gay couple
We hope you will be encouraged by the love here
So that you will be brave and march on in your life.
