Iran President's remark
Nasreen Khan, On e-mail
This is in response to the letter by Aranya Syed, Queen Mary University of London, UK on Iran president's remarks. She wrote "The recent anti-Israel comments by Iran's firebrand President should be condemned by the international community."I would say no, he shouldn't be, rather he should be praised for his diplomatic comments. Media always play a big role while conveying a message. Do you really know what he wanted to say. Ahmadinejad wanted to say that if others harmed the Jewish community and created problems for the Jewish community, they have to pay the price themselves. People like the Palestinians or other nations should not pay the price for it. If you believe the holocaust occurred in which 6 million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis in World War II then it was very appropriate to say by the Iran's President "If you have burned the Jews, why don't you give a piece of Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska to Israel," and is very reasonable to say "if you have committed this huge crime, why should the innocent nation of Palestine pay for this crime?"
