00:00 A US academic who sparked backlash for purportedly claiming at a University Malaya talk that

00:06 Malaysia was pushing for a "second holocaust" against the Jewish people has hit out at the

00:11 government and declared the country unsafe for travel.

00:15 Bruce Gilley, a professor of political science at Portland State University, said he had

00:20 left Malaysia due to safety concerns caused by an Islamofascist mob whipped up by the

00:25 government there.

00:27 In a post on X, Gilley said he had also declined reimbursement from UM for travel and lodging

00:32 expenses as a result of its "disgraceful behavior" and that of the Malaysian government.

00:38 Instead, he has launched a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe to cover costs totaling $2,346

00:45 US dollars.

00:46 In the campaign's GoFundMe page, Gilley claimed he was forced to leave Malaysia after

00:50 criticizing the country's stance against Israel during a keynote address at UM.
