Mahathir denies Bush rebuke

KUALA LUMPUR: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has accused US President George W Bush of lying when he told reporters that he had rebuked the Malaysian leader for his 'Jews rule the world' remarks.

With just six days until he retires, the prime minister is speaking without any apparent regard for the consequences. It was the biggest lie. If he'd rebuked me I'm quite sure I would have rebuked him also, Dr Mahathir said.

If you can tell a lie about the existence of weapons of mass destruction and go to war because of it I'm not surprised if he is prepared to lie about what he said to me.

Rather, the Malaysian leader insists, the president had apologised for speaking out against him, after which they were walking practically hand in hand, Dr Mahathir said.

Meanwhile, the veteran prime minister has called on Malaysians to stand up against what he termed blackmail by those Jewish groups who have called for a boycott of foreign investment in the country.

I don't think we should allow ourselves to be blackmailed by them...The press belongs to the Jews and their power is so great that people are afraid to criticize them, he was quoted as saying.

On the other hand, you can accuse Muslims of being terrorists ... and Europe does not protest, he added.
