From At Columbia University, Malaysian PM defends past anti-Semitic remarks
At Columbia University, a Jewish student confronts Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad about his past statements that he’s “glad to be labeled an anti-Semite” and denial that six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
“I’m exercising my right to free speech,” Mohamad tells the students. “Why is it that I can’t say something against the Jews when a lot of people say nasty things about me, about Malaysia?”
