Former Malaysian prime minister upset after border crossing guards delay entourage
By Ali Waked
TEL AVIV - IDF soldiers delayed former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad at a border crossing before allowing him to enter the Palestinian Authority, sources at the former leader’s entourage charge.
Mahathir, who arrived from Jordan Sunday for meetings with senior Palestinian officials, said guards at the Allenby Bridge humiliated him and his associates and performed humiliating searches through their belongings.
Sources close to Mahathir said the delay caused by guards interfered with the visit’s schedule. Mahathir was slated to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and other officials, and also visit the Jenin refugee camp, the sources said
Mahathir and his entourage were finally allowed entry after a five-hour delay. The former prime minister then hurried to a short meeting with Qureia, and later continued to the Jenin refugee camp.
History of controversy
Mahathir, who quit almost two years ago, is known as a harsh critic of Israel’s policy in the West Bank and Gaza and was even charged with uttering anti-Semitic remarks on several occasions.
In a 2003 Islamic conference, Mahathir stirred a row after saying the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims must defeat the Jews, who rule the world. The comments drew harsh condemnation from Jerusalem and the White House, but a European decision to condemn the remarks was thwarted by France.
On another occasion, Mahathir told al-Jazeera he believes the real objective behind the Iraq war is to protect Israel, saying the Jewish state removes any element that can threaten it in the Middle East.

That's a good tag-line.
Oh that poor poor man. How horrible for him to have to endure that kind of....oh, look a bug.
Gee, wonder how humiliated the guards would have been if those possessions contained weapons or bombs and one blew up?
Well, they did embarrass him when they found the S&M gear, the Victoria's secret underwear and his collection of kiddie porn.
Good thing they didn't find his goat porn!
Dude, I ain't even going there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One day, Mahathir and his chauffer were riding around in Negeri Sembilan when suddenly, out of nowhere, a big pig ran out of a bush. They could not stop the limousine in time and the pig was splattered on the road. Mahathir, afraid of being accused for anything, immediately gave the chauffer R1000 and told him to go into the owners' hut, apologize for the loss and give him some compensation.Mahathir waited in the limousine for a long time, but his chauffer did not come back. Finally, after a two hour wait, the chauffer came back, his tie and collar loose, pants unbuttoned, bleary eyed with beer and lipstick stains all over his shirt and clutching an empty bottle of champagne in one hand and what seems like a R5000 note in the other.
Mahathir asked, 'How in the world did you end up like this.'
'Well,' the chauffer said, 'The farmer was so happy, he shook hands with me, took out R5000 from his own wallet, had his sons pour out a bottle of champagne for me and had his daughters make hot $ex with me in the master bedroom.
'That's strange' Mahathir said, 'Why would they reward you? Tell me exactly what happened.' 'Hmm ... I went in, I met the farmer, I held out the R1000 note and said, 'Hi, I'm Mahathir's chauffer and I've just killed the pig...'
Good.
Anything that discomforts terrorist supporters is to be cheered.
So here goes....
HUZZAH!
Worthless buggers asked to see his passport! How dare they?!?!?! Next thing we know, they'll have the outrageous audacity to stamp it!
Yeah, I'd check this guy out too.
Guess we better order him a WHAAAAM burger and some french cries.
