Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 http://www.news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2075960 Malaysian Leader Defiant over ‘Jews Rule World’ Speech Unrepentant Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad has maintained that Jews are arrogant and control the world, following a barrage of international criticism over his “reprehensible” remarks. US president George Bush condemned Mahathir’s statements and pulled him aside at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, to say the remarks were “wrong and divisive”, a White House spokesman said. But Mahathir, who retires as prime minister at the end of the month after 22 years as the leader of mainly-Muslim Malaysia, said the global reaction “shows that [Jews] do control the world,” the Bangkok Post quoted him as saying today. “Israel is a small country. There are not many Jews in the world. But they are so arrogant that they defy the whole world. Even if the United Nations say no, they go ahead. Why? Because they have the backing of all these people,” said Mahathir, who often makes acerbic speeches against globalisation and US policy in the Middle East. Mahathir triggered an uproar last week at a summit of Islamic countries by stating that “Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them”. The issue trailed him to the APEC summit, due to close today, where leaders ranging from Australia to the United States continued to criticise Asia’s senior statesman. Shortly before Bush and Mahathir sat down together in the same room with 19 other APEC leaders yesterday, US National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice said the American president “thinks those remarks were reprehensible. I do not think they are emblematic of the Muslim world”. Later White House press secretary Scott McClellan quoted Bush as telling the Malaysian leader face to face that, “It stands squarely against what I believe in”. The thrust of Mahathir’s address, made at the Organisation of the Islamic Conference in Kuala Lumpur, was that the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims had been outmanoeuvred by “a few million Jews” and needed to give up violence and think hard about greater unity and improved education to defend their interests peacefully. Mahathir said in the Bangkok Post interview that his remarks had been taken out of context, noting that in his speech he had urged Israelis and Arabs to stop killing one another. “In my speech I condemned all violence, even the suicide bombings and I told the Muslims it’s about time we stopped all these things and paused to think and do something that is much more productive,” he said. “That was the whole tone of my speech, but they picked up one sentence where I said that the Jews control the world.” Now... I will call the President a moron who eats children, if I get criticized, it proves that he's a moron who eats children. Man.. Mahathir is one dumb puppy (criticism of remark means that it's true) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Jews Compel Malaysian PM to be Anti-Semitic (2003-10-21) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said today that Jews are ruling his thoughts and speech, compelling him to make anti-Semitic remarks. At last week's Organization of the Islamic Conference, Mr. Mohamad said that "Jews rule the world by proxy" despite their relatively small numbers. Yesterday, he said that global condemnation of his anti-Semitic remarks proves that "they [Jews] do control the world''. Today, the Prime Minister said that Jews have taken over his mind and tongue forcing him to say "hateful things" that he doesn't really believe in order to bring shame upon him and his country. "Anti-Semitism is nothing more than a Jewish mind-control plot to make world leaders sound like anti-Semites," he said. "We are helpless to defend ourselves against these charges, since each defensive comment makes us sound more hateful. It's the Jews fault that I hate them. They want me to hate them, and I cannot resist their control." Dastardly. Just dastardly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Nah, I think clearly that the Prime Minister was tired of the global media trying so hard to glorify the jews, since they obviously are thirsting to see a jewish nation succeed. It's just TYPICAL of the leftward tilt in the world's media. Nyuk Nyuk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim-Jong is far more threatening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
