(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Malaysia’s Prime Minster Mahathir Mohamad has called Jews “hook-nosed,” said they “rule the world by proxy” and questioned the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust. He has even said he is “glad to be labeled anti-Semitic.”

Now he is set to address students at Columbia University, as part of of its annual world leaders forum.

The Malaysian leader will speak about “the rule of law and multilateralism” and then take questions from the audience at the event on Wednesday, which is held on its Manhattan campus and open to faculty, staff and students.

Among the other nine speakers at the weeklong event are leaders of countries and world organizations, including Austrian Chancellor Brigitte Bierlein, Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Iraqi President Barham Salih.

Mohamad, 94, has been serving as prime minister of the southeast Asian country since last year and previously served in the office in 1981-2003.

1. Malaysia is a majority Muslim country?

The Muslim-Jewish feud is older than the hills. No surprise here.

2. That's no excuse for anti-Semitism.

Also, the "Muslim-Jewish feud" as you call it, is not as old as you think. While there have always been strained relations, it isn't quite what most Westerners believe it to be; but again, it is no excuse for anti-Semitism.

3. All religion based feuds are unnecessary, bordering on crazy

But religion based feuds are older than a millennium. It is what it is.
I don't see any hope of a cumbaya moment happening.

4. I hope they have questions from the audience.
