That “moderate” Iranian ex-president, whose speech at Harvard on September 10th last year was titled “Ethics of Tolerance in the Age of Violence” is not a practitioner of what he preaches.
Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami has called for peaceful dialogue with the West, but last week cursed Israeli journalists who approached him at the sixth Eurasion Media Forum in Kazakhstan.
[…] Nevertheless, despite his calls for “dialogue,” Khatami refused to speak to the Israeli reporters present at the talks.
Channel 10 later reported that Khatami, heading for his suite, had cursed them, saying, “Go to hell!”
On Friday, Khatami decided to skip the scheduled panel on Iran’s nuclear program because an Israeli representative was slated to speak.
Yep. Surely the signs of a “moderate” leader of Iran. Surely the signs of a tolerant man.
Maybe he got in touch with Borat, and he explained him all about those evil jews.
“Go to hell!”
No thanks, Khatami, I have no desire to visit Iran.
