Malaysian X Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad:
On the Jews :-
Japanese
newspapers put down my talk to me being
anti-Semitic….but they pick up one sentence in which I said the Jews control the world.
Well, the reaction of the world shows that they control the world.
Israel is a small country. There are not many Jews in the world. But they are so arrogant they defy the whole world.
I have friends who are Jews. In fact I invited the Israeli cricket team to play in Malaysia, a number of Israeli
schoolchildren, so they can meet Muslim schoolchildren in Malaysia and Chinese schoolchildren so that they can see we behave normally. We don''t want to kill them.
…many
newspapers are owned by the Jews. They only see that angle and they have a powerful influence over the thinking of many people. Only their side of the picture is given now. The Muslims, we are pictured as terrorists, unreasonable people…
