mahathir is right though. Our embassy should not be in Jerusalem

[@mohdazroybinahmadorange515]

Tho, its your gov whom u people pick and select to be the head decides that it needs to be there. Pop question is, why dont u gather around and tell your gov whom u guys pick to be the head to stop these *"embassy"* thing in israel?? I mean, its u guys who pick those leader of yours whom then made that decision, no?? Do i makes sense??

WRONG. JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL. The embassy should be in the capital. Palestine should learn to let it go. If Palestine wants to hold on to the past then let's do it!! Israel has thousands of years of history.

The reality is that mouthing off at the Malaysian PM is a personal decision of Frydenberg alone that is detrimental to the conduct of Australian foreign policy.

You can´t "mouth off" antisemitic language. You can only expose it for what it is: misantrophic, exaggerated, hysterical and aggressive.

How can standing up for Palestinians be anti-semitic when in fact all Arab people are all semitic people…

Antisemitism is not crime !!!

[@rickyh695]

You have point. The word invented as a mockery to those who are without punishment. Somehow i believe some country does not allow of racism and it is punishable by law.

Those who bless Israel will be blessed but those who curse Israel will be cursed. Very true! Look at nations who bless Israel and nations who curse Israel. Unless you love living a cursed life, you better start blessing Israel 🇮🇱
