Their love of Israel is well known and in 2020, their former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad called for Muslims to attack Israelis during an interview on Lebanese TV.
"I know there are big powers that would like to see instability in Muslim countries," he said. "We are doing things - almost like helping Israel. Because we fight each other, the Israelis don't have to kill Muslims. Muslims are doing it for them." Instead, he said Muslims should turn their attention on Israel itself, which he claimed was created through the displacement of a Palestinian state by Western powers to rid themselves of Jews.
All of this is not news to us and in 1982 they issued two stamps for the "Freedom of Palestine" and depicting what they wrote "Masjid Al Aqsa" or the Al Aksa Mosque.
Only problem is that the image does not show the Al Aqsa Mosque but the Omar Mosque (Dome of the Rock) which is situated 500m away.
You would think that they would know what their Holy Mosque looks like!
A big oopsie!
It's a common mistake, I see Malaysian people make the same mistake over and over on Facebook (:
