2019 - MR. MAHATHIR – MALAYSIA – AT THE UNITED NATIONS

The first act engineered by the Western countries is the creation

of the state of Israel by seizing Palestinian land and expelling

its 90% Arab population. Since then wars have been fought in many

countries, many related to the creation of Israel. And now we

have terrorism when there was none before or at least none on the

present scale. Military action against Acts of terrorism will not

succeed. We need to identify the cause and remove it. But the

great powers refuse to deal with the root cause.

They prefer military action and sanctions. And they will continue

to fail to stop terrorism.

Malaysia accepts the state of Israel as a fait accompli. But it

cannot accept the blatant seizure of Palestine land by Israel for

their settlements as well as the occupation of Jerusalem by

Israel. The Palestinians cannot even enter the settlements built

on their land.

Because of the creation of Israel, there is now enmity towards

the Muslims and Islam. Muslims are accused of terrorism even if

they did nothing. Muslim countries have been destabilised through

the campaign for democracy and regime change. Muslims everywhere

have been oppressed, expelled from their countries and refused

asylum. Thousands have died at sea and in the severe winters. One

cannot deny that in the past there were no massive migration. Now

the wars and instability due to regime change have forced them to

run away from their countries.
