Mahathir Slams Israel's 'Unjust' War Against Iran: A Double Standard?

Malaysia's Mahathir Condemns Israeli Actions in Iran Conflict Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has issued a sharp critique of Israel's actions in the ongoing conflict with Iran. In a recent interview, excerpts of which are available in a short video circulating online, Dr. Mahathir described the situation as "unjust" and "biased." He emphasized the disparity in military capabilities, stating, "Israel may have atomic bombs, but Iran does not." This statement highlights a key point of contention in the international community's response to the conflict. Dr. Mahathir's concern extends beyond the immediate military conflict. He voiced his concern about the lack of balance in the international response, suggesting that if the international community truly desires peace, then both sides should be treated equally. He stated, "If you want to resist, both sides should be able to." This comment underscores the broader debate about international relations and the role of major powers in shaping the outcomes of conflicts. The video has sparked considerable interest online, generating discussions about the conflict's complexities and the international community's response. Dr. Mahathir's long history of outspokenness on international affairs lends weight to his statement, and the video is likely to be further analyzed by political scientists and commentators in the coming days.
