I would like to touch on the comments made by many readers who have criticised Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad as being anti-Semitic. My comments evolve around the concept of anti-Semitism.

'Anti-Semitic' is actually a defence mechanism used by Zionist Jews to protect themselves against criticism, even when they continue to carry out countless atrocities against Palestinians and Israel's neighbours, the latest being the attack on Syria.

It is a become very powerful tool because Europeans follow the same line, since they feel responsible for past cruelty to the Jews. As Mahathir mentioned, Europe killed 6 million of 13 Jews in the past.

However, Zionists Jews sometimes get carried away with 'anti-Semitic' labelling, to the extent that they distort biblical narration about the crucifixion of Jesus, peace be upon him (even though, as a Muslim, I believe Jesus was never crucified).

I refer to the case of Mel Gibson's latest movie 'Passion' which was labelled 'anti-Semitic' by Jewish organisations because it depicts Jews as instigators or collaborators in the crucifixion of Jesus. Since it is labelled 'anti-Semitic', only a few film distributors showed interest in distributing it.

What Gibson portrays in 'Passion' is based on biblical narration. But Zionists have gone overboard to misuse notions of anti-Semitism to the extent of questioning biblical facts.

Thus it is not surprising that Mahathir has been labelled anti-Semitic after his speech condemning Zionists atrocities.
