Jumpa Dr Daud Abdullah dalam rally for Palestine semalam- sangat dahsyat ucapan dia! Setiap kata-kata tu telah membuatkan jantung aku bergetar rancak, dan sesiapa sahaja yang menghayati ucapannya tak mungkin dapat menahan air mata. Ust Maszlee pun terkejut, katanya Dr Daud telah banyak belajar, dan begitu juga kita sepatutnya =)

Beberapa minggu lalu Dr Daud ada sedikit pertentangan dengan kerajaan British. Beliau sangat vokal dalam menghentam Israel dan menyatakan sokongan pada kerajaan Palestin; ini semestinya tak selari dengan fikrah politik yang mendominasi House of Lords.
