Well, how about in a personal letter to Malaysia's prime minister?
Chirac condemns Malaysian PM
From a correspondent in Paris
October 20, 2003
PRESIDENT Jacques Chirac sent an unusually frank letter today to Malaysia's prime minister personally condemning Mahathir Mohamad's comments last week that Jews "rule the world by proxy".
"Your remarks on the rule of Jews gave rise to very strong disapproval in France and in the world," said the letter. It added: "These remarks can only be condemned by all who preserve the memory of the Holocaust."
Numerous nations and the European Union have condemned the remarks on Thursday by Mahathir who said Jews "rule the world by proxy" and suggested that Jews get "others to fight and die for them".
However, France came back with force today after reports in Malaysian newspapers that Mahathir had expressed his gratitude to the French president for his "understanding" of Mahathir's speech, given at the opening of the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference.
"I never thought the Europeans would be against me," the New Sunday Times quoted Mahathir as saying. "I can't understand them. I'm glad that Chirac at least understands. I would like to thank him publicly."
