The Israeli ambassador to the U.S. criticized the council Friday for its “terrible mistake” of hosting Ahmadinejad, drawing a comparison between the invitation to the Iranian chief and a hypothetical invite to Hitler in the 1930s. But the president of the Harvard Islamic Society, Ali A. Zaidi ’08, said that “regardless of the nation, it is always to the advantage of the United States to engage in a sort of civil discourse that will create a safer world...
