Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad contended that he’s merely exercising his right to free speech for questioning the number of victims of the Holocaust, a stance widely accepted as anti-semitic, in response to a question from the floor at Columbia University's World Leaders Forum in New York on Wednesday.<br /><br />Dr Mahathir, who is in town for the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, also recalled that a journalist had been jailed for disputing the numbers.
