Former prime minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad has said held America equally responsible for the “mass murder” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In a post on social media, he said: “The world stands still. The world has set up the UN to end wars. But what is happening is worse than wars. It is a genocide — a crime against humanity.”

“The genocide goes on because the US has cast the veto. The US wants the mass murders to go on because cynically it believes it would end wars. Would it? No. Two world wars were fought to end wars. But wars have not ended.

“Even if all Hamas members are killed, others will take their place. Why? Because other Palestinians will remember the bestiality of the Israelis. The enmity will persist for generations and generations. There will be wars. There will be no peace. There will be revenge killings, suicide bombings, and assassinations,” he wrote.
