Good For Tibi
By Micah Halpern

Thursday January 19. 2006

I've Been Thinking:

Ahmed Tibi, an Arab member of the Israeli Knesset, has responded to the assertion made by the President of Iran about the Holocaust.

Tibi said the idea that the Holocaust is a figment of Jewish imagination is "absurd, dangerous and morally problematic. Nazism was a crime against humanity ..."
This is the same Tibi who recently declared that Israel should not be a Jewish state, because it is offensive to the non-Jews who live there.

Iran is planning an international conference of Holocaust deniers. People from around the world who subscribe to this warped sense of reality will go to Teheran, pal around and share ideas.
Tibi thinks that the strong tendency towards Holocaust denial in Muslim culture is "absurd" because denying the Holocaust is blatantly false.
To deny an obvious historical fact is self-deceiving, even when it helps your political cause.

Ahmed Tibi is being intellectually honest.
That is worth mention.
