Malaysia: Prime Minister's anti-Semitic speech was a "misunderstanding"

Full text of Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad's speech

 
Malaysia says: Jews are smarter than Muslims
By Beth Goodtree   October 17, 2003


You gotta love these anti-Semites. Their hearts are so filled with hatred that it overwhelms the little common sense given to an amoeba and makes them admit to things they would never say if you threatened them with death.

It hasn't yet been a month since the leading legal mind in the Arab world admitted that the Hebrew bible was fact. Of course, the man did this to justify suing every Jew in the world for a trillion gazillion dollars. But in his lust and greed and hatred, he overlooked the fact that by admitting the Bible was true and accurate history, we Jews could use him as our chief witness to reclaim the Temple Mount, all of Jerusalem, and parts of Syria, Jordan and other Arab countries. You'd think these haters would learn to keep their mouths shut so we wouldn't know their true agendas. But noooooooo.

Along comes Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's Prime Minister and Chairman of the Islamic Conference. In his haste to condemn the Jews, he actually praised them and condemned Muslims and Arabs. Here is some of what he said and what it implies.

Quote: "(Jews) survived 2,000 years of pogroms not by hitting back, but by thinking."
Translation: Jews are smart and Jews (including Zionists) are non-aggressive and non-violent.

Quote: "We need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships for our defense."
Translation: We are planning an all-out war on Jews and their western allies.

Quote: "For well over half a century we have fought over Palestine. What have we achieved? Nothing. We are worse off than before. If we had paused to think then we could have devised a plan, a strategy that can win us final victory."
Translation: We are non-thinking idiots spinning our wheels who have been defeated by a handful of Jews who actually use their brains. And we must change this to finally conquer the Jews.

Quote: "The Muslims will forever be oppressed and dominated by the Europeans and the Jews."
Translation: We are not responsible for our backwardness and lack of civilization. It is all the fault of the Jews and the Europeans.

Quote: "We are actually very strong, 1.3 billion people cannot be simply wiped out. The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them."
Translation: Apparently, Dr. Mahathir Mohamed thinks that all Jews are out to eradicate Islam. He also thinks we Jews, small though our numbers may be, are a mighty power.

Quote: "It cannot be that there is no other way. 1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by a few million Jews."
Translation: (Along with the above) Muslims should unite to wipe out the Jews that the Holocaust didn't get.

Quote: "The Europeans had to kneel at the feet of Muslim scholars in order to access their own scholastic heritage."
Translation: I wish this would happen again.

Quote: "They invented... human rights and democracy, so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others."
Translation: Jews were smart enough to invent human rights and democracy and they are not our equals and persecuting them is perfectly acceptable.

Quote: "The Quran tells us that when the enemy sues for peace we must react positively. True the treaty offered is not favorable to us. But we can negotiate. The Prophet did, at Hudaibiyah. And in the end he triumphed."
Translation: Sign any peace treaty they offer because we're never going to honor it. It is merely a tactical maneuver towards total conquest of our enemies.

Given the above statements, Dr. Mahathir has made it abundantly clear that Islam is at war with all Jews and Western civilization in general. But, he has also made statements that make him a candidate for prosecution under the "Crimes of Genocide" laws. Also, as chairman of the OIC, he has made such statements official policy and at the very least, the UN should kick them the heck out (they have an office there.) Also, every individual, group and country which fails to condemn Dr. Mahathir's speech is in fact giving their silent support and may thus be complicit in incitement to crimes of genocide.

And lastly, I urge everyone to read Mahathir's speech in full to understand the depth of his vitriol and what he is asking the Islamic world to do. He has just issued a cry to unite and conquer, first the Jews, and then the Western world. He has also stated that signing any peace treaties is merely a tactical move designed to buy time before total conquest. Meanwhile, as of this writing, not a single one of the 52 member countries or their guests back-peddled in the very least on his anti-Semitic statements. There is never going to be a clearer wake-up call that isn't accompanied by blood.
