Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad described Jews as “hook-nosed” and blamed Israel for the unrest in the Middle East, reinforcing accusations that he is an anti-Semite, JTA reports.

“If you are going to be truthful, the problem in the Middle East began with the creation of Israel. That is an old truth. But I cannot say that,” he said Tuesday in an interview on the BBC’s Hard Talk, according to the JTA report.

BBC host Zeinab Badawi called him out for describing Jews in his 1970 book “The Malay Dilemma,” as being hook-nosed. “There are many races in this world, I have said nasty thing about them but they never accuse me of anti this or that,” Mohamad said. “Even lots of people say nasty things about us, such as Malays being lazy or fat-nosed but I did not take it up against them and we did not go to war for that,” he said. He also wrote in his book that “the Jews are not merely hook-nosed, but understand money instinctively.”

Mohamad also has questioned the fact that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, saying the figure was 4 million Jews.

  1. Let him enjoy all the peace-loving arabs in his country. Likely he’d even blame Israel for the missing Malaysian airplane. The Mosad did it: right, eye slits and fat-flat nose?

  2. Being knowledgeable of the indisputable fact that the forming of the State of Israel (aka The Jewish State), and the plans leading up to that formation (including The Zionist Congress, No’ar HaTzioni, Chovivei Tzion, etc.), gave rise to many/most recent and current problems in the Middle East, does not make you an Anti Semite. Hating Jews for all of the above, does.

  3. Sorry, Bubba: the Design for the eved-Hashem nose is a “vav”. Maybe the Samal nose is a “samakh”, or better, “resh” and “ayin”. Guess you learned your shtuss from your former British masters.
