Sunday, December 18, 2005 ToleranceTEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust is a matter for academic discussion and the West should be more tolerant of his views, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday. Good point! Why isn't Israel in Alaska? And did the Holocaust really happen? (If so, how can we be sure?) And while we're at it, why are so many scientists so passionately opposed to Intelligent Design? Are they against God? The truth in these matters must lie along a Middle Way between the two rabid extremes of current popular opinion. Right? posted by Michael Scott Moore | 4:11 PM

And if the Saudis and Lebanese and Syrians and so forth love their Palestinian brethren and sistren so much, why haven't they opened their arms and lands to them?

Sorry, having a moment. Not trying to make light of the displacement of Palestinians, and some of what's been happening in the name of Zionism does make me cringe. But the Palestinians have been a political football since Balfour. One that gets tossed around to justify attitudes like Ahmadinejad's, without everyone working to find a just and practical solution. |
