The chairman of the Jewish Defense League has threatened to make actor/comedian Jay Mohr’s life “miserable” because of comments he recently made to actor/comedian Andrew Dice Clay on a New York City radio show.

“Calling Clay a ‘hebe’ is calling every Jew a ‘hebe.’ It’s a Jew-hating term and it’s a fighting word,” said JDL’s Irv Rubin, who likens it to the N-word for African Americans.

Rubin says Mohr must immediately make an apology to the Jewish community or else be subjected to “JDL’s wrath,” which may include demonstrations at Mohr’s personal appearances or even in front of his home.

“It is ironic that a man who has made his living off an industry filled with Jews can hold these people in such contempt. Producers, directors, casting agents and comedy club owners better be aware of Mohr’s hatred of Jews,” says Rubin.

In light of the feud between the comedians, JDL is also volunteering its armed guard services to Andrew Dice Clay.

THE hatred between feuding comics Jay Mohr and Andrew Dice Clay just took an even uglier turn, with Mohr filing harassment charges against the Dice Man. The trouble started Monday when Mohr - in town to perform in a charity comedy show this Sunday night at the Beacon - was a guest on Conan O'Brien's "Late Night." Clay, a regular on the "Opie & Anthony" radio talk show on WNEW, called in Tuesday and claimed Mohr had stolen some bits from his act.

Mohr, also on air with the popular radio duo, told Clay to "die - get in the coffin!" and called him a "Jew" and a "Heeb."

Dice returned fire and said Mohr was a "creep" and, "even though [Mohr] may be trying toget his wife pregnant, it still doesn't stop [Mohr] from hitting on all the girls coming out of the bathroom at the Comedy Store in L.A." Clay eventually hung up, but Mohr's wife, Nicole, was so upset over the on-air altercation she called Dice to clear the air. According to a complaint filed by Nicole and Mohr with police at Manhattan's 10th precinct, Clay started screaming at Nicole: "Your husband will be in a million pieces! We all know what happened to Sam Kinison when he crossed me - your husband will have to pay!" Kinison, a heavy drinker and drug abuser, died in 1992 in a head-on car crash as he drove from L.A. to Las Vegas. A family friend of Mohr's also called Clay to sort things out. Clay allegedly threatened: "[Mohr] needs to watch out at the Beacon [Sunday night] and look over his shoulder for me." Mohr came home and, finding Nicole in tears, immediately called the cops and filed a complaint - which, police sources said, "will eventually wind up in court."

But the fight wasn't over. On Wednesday, Mohr and Nicole went on "Opie & Anthony" as in-studio guests. Again, Clay called in, and again they started going at each other, with Clay calling Mohr a "sissy" for filing a complaint. Mohr retorted that he had filed the complaint because Clay had called his wife "stupid" and "a liar," and had threatened him with violence.

The show ended with Clay apologizing for calling Mohr "Gilligan" and attempting to get Mohr to bury the hatchet - which Mohr declined. Reps for Mohr and Clay didn't return calls.
