Israel's Shimon Peres Says Columbia University Provided 'A Platform to the Greatest Lies in the World'
"I am very much in favor of freedom of expression," Peres told reporters..., "but what happened at Columbia University was giving a platform to the greatest lies in the world. Everyone knows that Iran is building an atomic bomb and is a hotbed of world terror."
Addressing remarks by the university's president, Lee Bollinger, who called Ahmadinejad a "petty and cruel dictator" but said he would have invited Hitler to speak, Peres said that "even Chamberlain and Hitler met for diplomatic talks, and behind all those nice words was genocide and one of the worst atrocities humanity has known."
