PETALING JAYA: Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah (pic)  says he is "deeply disgusted" with the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry of accusing Malaysia for opposing the Olympic spirit and labelling Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as anti-Semitic.

On Thursday (Jan 17), Israel condemned Malaysia’s ban on Israeli participation in international sporting events it hosts and said the decision was inspired by Dr Mahathir's ”rabid anti-Semitism”.
