Reading your blog is my daily work in my holiday.I think you are doing a great thing though it's just a visit of one person.

dear Hoder, I want to bring a dose of reality to this conversation. There is no reciprocity between Israel and the Moslem world. You can go to Israel without fear but an Israeli going to Iran would be in great danger. While you are exploring Israel, Iran is exploring the way to nuke Israel. Until there is a political change in Iran, this visit is useless. Israel will meet the Iranian threat despite your visit. We will not commit suicide just because of your curiosity.

Hello, I heard about yesterday's meeting in Lima Lima, but unfortunately, couldn't come. Anyway, I'd like to express my admiration. And I hope, that one day Iran and Israel will become friendly. I love Hafiz poetry, though I can only read it in translation. And also, I know, that there are alot of educated Iranians who disagree with the policies of the government. As for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I would like to see it ended and the Palestinians and Israelis to be good neighbours and friends, but unfortunately I such outcome is not in sight. I believe, that the Palestinians must really change in order to make peace possible. For example, there can be no peace with a society, where there are dozen of private armies and each has its own policies and says: OK, some guys made an agreement, but we don't obey this agreement and continue with our own private war.

Dear Hoder, I just wrote in my blog that publishing 2 articles in 2 major Israeli papers about what Iranians think about Israel is a big deal and well done.
