Israeli Arab wants to go to Tehran...
I hope he gets to go...
The founder of a private Holocaust museum in Nazareth has been invited to address a Holocaust study conference to take place next month in Iran.
Nazareth resident Khaled Ksab Mahamid is waiting for permission from the Foreign Ministry and final authorization from Tehran to attend the conference.
Mahamid told Haaretz he intends to tell the conference that the Holocaust did happen and that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's position of Holocaust denial is wrong.
"Everything that happened must be internalized and the facts must not be denied," Mahamid says, adding, "It is the obligation of all Arabs and all Muslims to understand the significance of the Holocaust. If their goal is to understand their adversary, they must understand the Holocaust."
Mahamid, who is an attorney, has been dealing with the Holocaust for some years. The museum, which is located on the first floor of his modest home, displays photographs he received from Yad Vashem, whose captions he translated into Arabic.

It's odd to hear about an Arab with courage, sadly he still characterizes the Jews as adversaries when it is well known that if the Arabs/Muslims stopped attacking them, the Jews would stop fighting back and there would be peace.
