Pro-Israeli group urges US to sever ties with Anwar

By FMT Staff
PETALING JAYA: The world’s oldest pro-Israeli organisation, B’nai B’rith International has declared Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim as 'a threat' to the Jews and urged the US cut ties with him.

In a letter dated May 25 to US Foreign Relations Senate Committee president John F Kerry, B’nai B’rith blamed Anwar for inciting hatred towards the Israel and the Zionist-Jews.
The organisation voiced its concern over Anwar’s statements in Parliament in April where he linked Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to global image consultants Apco Worldwide.
They also took offence at Anwar’s speech when he exposed the infiltration of the Royal Malaysian Police's headquarters in Bukit Aman by agents linked to the Tel Aviv regime.
"Anwar Ibrahim should not be accorded the honour and respect which he now receives as a result of his good relations with the US,” said B’nai B’rith president Dennis W Glick.
“His attack on Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is tainted with lies and anti-Jewish and anti-Israel semantics,” the letter said.
"We ask Washington to terminate all relations with Anwar."
B’nai B’rith, established on Oct 13, 1843, has 200,000 members and supporters in 50 countries.
Online news portal: 'Anwar an extremist'
Last month Anwar was slammed by an American online news portal, The New Ledger, for questioning Najib and Apco’s relationship.
The writer Rachel Motte, accused Anwar of being an extremist and derided him for objecting to Najib’s decision, at the behest of the US, to pressure Iran (over the nuclear issue).
“Anwar’s right hand men said the Malaysian government had appointed Apco Worldwide which they alleged had close ties with Israel.
"They claimed that Apco's panel of advisors comprised a former security chief of Israel and former officers of Israel’s secret service.
“Anwar has continued to invoke anti-Semitic sentiments by alleging Israeli secret service's involvement in the Royal Malaysian Police’s information technology unit,” wrote Rachel.
The news portal, however, did not provide proof to counter Anwar’s allegations. Neither did it provide evidence that Apco or its staff were not linked to the Tel Aviv regime.
Anwar, who exposed the presence of Israeli agents in Bukit Aman in Parliament on April 6, based his disclosures on a PDRM’s logistics division report.
