Malaysian lawmaker Mukhriz Mahathir sparks fury with blanket anti-American remarks

Mukhriz Mahathir, son of former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, said in a video that he hates all Americans regardless of political affiliation, citing Washington's support for Israel. His comments drew widespread criticism on social media, though he defended them by arguing ordinary citizens share responsibility for their leaders' actions. Malaysia has long been a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause and does not recognise Israel.
