Holocaust Conference, a Conference of Hate
As an Iranian Citizen, I ask for forgiveness from all of Holocaust Victims and all of women and men who fight against discrimination in the world, who try to reduce hate between Whites and Blacks, among followers of different religions and between poor and rich countries.
I apologize from Steven Spielbergthe director of Schindler's List (1993), I deeply express my pardon to Dr. Martin Luther King because of the participation of the America's best known racist ,David Duke that he formed the National Association for the Advancement of White People, not to mention the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan .
It is shame for human. It is shame for a nation with a great history in tolerance to host this conference, a conference of hate. As a son of Cyrus the Great who wrote the first human right declaration 2500 years ago in Iran, I express my apology to my ancestors.
I feel sad and shameful; please call me a citizen of the world.
