UN accredits NGO whose head is glad to be labeled anti-Semitic
At a session in New York last week, the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People officially granted accreditation to five civil society organizations, among them the Perdana Global Peace Foundation, which was founded by Mahathir Mohamad.
Mohamad, who served as Malaysia’s prime minister from 1981 until 2003, has repeatedly sparked controversy with his anti-Western and anti-Semitic comments. In a 2003 speech, he said that “the Jews rule the world by proxy” and get “others to fight and die for them.” During the same speech, he further stated, “They invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong so they may enjoy equal rights with others. With these, they have now gained control of the most powerful countries.”

At Tuesday’s committee meeting in New York, chairman Abdou Salam Diallo praised Mohamad for his lifetime achievements and said the time had come to “thank him and congratulate him on everything that he has done during his political career for the Palestinian people.”
The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, whose objective is “two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure and recognized borders,” considered eight applications from civil society organizations who sought accreditation, rejecting three and accepting five, among them Mohamad’s Perdana Global Peace Foundation.
