MALAYSIA: ANTI-SEMITISM WITHOUT JEWS

Malaysia: Anti-Semitism Without Jews - Moshe Yegar (Jewish Political Studies Review)
Since its establishment (initially as Malaya) in 1957, Malaysia has rejected formal diplomatic relations with Israel due to its desire to cultivate ties with the Arab countries and the power of domestic Islamic trends. In 1981 the openly anti-Semitic Dato Mahathir bin Muhamad was elected Malaysia's prime minister, who ended his tenure in 2003 with an anti-Semitic diatribe at a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
