In a June 29, 2020 interview on Al-Mayadeen TV (Lebanon), former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said that when Muslim countries fight amongst themselves, they help Israel by killing Muslims. He said that Israel was created by big powers in order to solve the "Jewish problem" and that Muslims should not carry out terrorist attacks against European countries and the U.S. because this will make these countries remove their support for the Palestinian cause. Rather, Mohamad said that it is better to attack the Israelis directly, like Palestinians in Jerusalem who stab Israeli soldiers. In addition, Mohamad said that the Jews control the media in America. For more about Mahathir Mohamad, see MEMRI TV Clips No. 1040 and No. 1245.
Mahathir Mohamad: "I know there are big powers that would like to see instability in Muslim countries.
[...]
"We are doing things – almost like helping Israel – because [when] we fight each other, the Israelis don't have to kill Muslims – Muslims are doing it for them.
[...]
"The whole of Israel was created through taking Palestinian land. That is very wrong. So for that reason, we have always been against the creation of the State of Israel. Unfortunately, the big powers back Israel, because they were the ones who created the State of Israel to solve their Jewish problem. They were having a problem in Europe with the Jews, so they wanted to create a homeland for the Jews and they took Palestinian land.
[...]
"When you commit acts of terror without due consideration as to the effect on the people concerned – for example, you kill people in Europe – obviously, the Europeans will not support you. Your enemy is Israel, fight against Israel, don't fight against other countries, unless they attack you, of course. But the enemy is Israel. [If] you want to do anything, do it to the Israelis, like some of the Palestinians in Jerusalem, who individually attack Israeli soldiers. That is the enemy. But if you go and attack the Europeans, Americans, and all that – you only create more enemies.
[...]
"If they [the American people] think we are wrong, we have to tell them that we are doing something that is right. It is propaganda campaign on the part of the Jews. They are very good. They own all the newspapers in America. They own the TV stations. So they have tremendous influence.
[...]
"We should show support for the blacks, because this is where we can show that the American society is unjust and unfair to their own people, so we will then reduce the influence of America on our internal affairs."
