STATEMENT

Tun Dr Mahathir Bin Mohamad

The world is once again forced to watch helplessly Israeli intransigence and brutish ways in Lebanon and Palestine.  The destruction and killings by Israeli terrorists would not be possible without the support and collusions of the United States of America and Britain.
The world must therefore condemn all three and act against them.  The oil producing countries can stop these atrocities by stopping all transactions in U.S. Dollars or British pounds.
I do not believe in futile condemnations because they would simply be ignored.  It is time for the world to act.
Only a poverty-stricken U.S. will stop the killings and the destruction.   And the U.S. will not be able to finance war if it is poor.
I appeal to the world to take this simple action.  Reject the dollar and the pound.  There will be economic turmoil for the whole world.  But this is a price we must be prepared to pay.  It would be temporary.
Until we do this the Israeli-U.S.-Britain Axis will advance into Syria and Iran and other countries on the excuse they are all harbouring terrorists.
To the defenders of Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Iran, fight against those who fight you as enjoined by the Al-Quran.  Do not kill civilians and innocent people even if your enemies do that.
Uphold the name of Islam and its teachings.  Unite and Allah will be with you until victory over your enemies is achieved.
Insya'Allah.
