PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says Malaysia will not keep quiet on the oppression of the Palestinians by Israel. "In other words, if we too choose to be silent, the blood from the murders and killings of the Palestinians by the Israelis is on our hands as well," said Dr Mahathir. "Humanitarian groups such as Unicef have long documented Israeli violations against Palestinian children, who are prosecuted in Israeli military courts. "It is clear that these detainees are being used by Israel to exchange for Israeli soldiers captured during incidents. Dr Mahathir said the deal is a one-sided arrangement hatched by the US and Israel without consulting the Palestinians that spikes any attempts to bring peace or justice to Palestine.
