Discussion on Racism and the Holocaust

There are many racists in this world.

I've said nasty things about them.

They never accuse me of being anti this and anti that. But the Israelis are special.

You cannot even mention that in the Holocaust,

it's not six million, but four million who were victims of the Holocaust.

In 1970, in your book, The Malay Dilemma,

you said the Jews are not merely hook nosed, but understand money instinctively.

These kinds of things are not acceptable, are they, Prime Minister?

Well, lots of people say nasty things about us, Malays, lazy,

and all kinds of things, but I didn't take it up against them. That is an opinion.

And I give my opinion of things.

Do you stand by those sorts of opinions?

If you are going to be truthful,

the problem in the Middle East began

with the creation of the State of Israel. That is the whole truth.

But I cannot say that. Why is it that you cannot...

But why say hook nosed and good with money? It's not necessary, is it?

They are hook nosed.

Right. Well, I'm sure that many people would really find that very offensive.

Many people call the Malays fat nosed.

We did not object. We didn't go to war for that.
