    .: After you canceled a debate between me & about the UNHRC's treatment of Israel—banning Britain's coalition of 34 Jewish charities from your premises—how do you dare lecture on "talking to people you don't agree with?"

    "Colossal failure": U.S. rep sums up 's four-week presidency of -backed Conference on Disarmament. "As today marks the end of this travesty, let's not forget the horrific Chemical Weapons attacks the regime has carried out against its own people."

    Syria's four-week CD presidency was a colossal failure. As today marks the end of this travesty, let's not forget the horrific CW attacks the regime has carried out against its own people. I look forward to returning to the CD next week under Tunisia's presidency.

    I post this link in honor of Charles Krauthammer, who knew the entire movie Casablanca by heart (or very close to it). I recall we once agreed this was our favorite scene.

    I recently wrote to Charles Krauthammer: “I am one of the millions you’ve inspired. Your handicaps never inhibited you from speaking truth and wisdom. You’ve possessed an immense generosity of heart. And you gave goodness and meaning to countless lives.” May his memory be blessed

    And that is why in the Senate I said we must measure the UNHRC's supposed reform "by the yardstick of the UN’s own standards, set forth in 2005 by then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan." If that's the measure, the UNHRC gets a failing grade:

    A document UN has tried to bury: their 2006 pledge of how new UNHRC would mark a total reform: • new membership criteria based on rights record • members will "uphold highest standards" • anti-Israeli agenda item to be removed, replaced by "clean slate"

    "Krauthammer defeats Portner; elected editor on second ballot" —McGill Daily, Sept. 25, 1969

    For me, as an aspiring writer on politics, fellow Montrealer and McGill graduate Dr. Charles Krauthammer was the ultimate role model I could look up to. (Below: Krauthammer elected Editor in Chief of Mcgill Daily, Sept. 25, 1969. "He has no journalistic experience whatever.")

    “Not only would 'dissenting and critical analyses be actively solicited,' but henceforth newsworthiness would be determined by no single ideological standard.”

    “So I decided to issue a manifesto clarifying the new management’s creed. It was simple. The paper was now open to all points of view. 'The Daily is under the present editorship because it is committed to publish a pluralist paper, I wrote.'”

    "(Yes, Maoism—Stalinism being too moderate and lacking in romance. This was, after all, the ’60s.) A search was launched for someone not loony-left. The roulette wheel spun my way."

    "It was a month into my senior year at McGill and my first day on the job as editor in chief. A week earlier, the student council had fired the previous editor on the grounds that the paper’s mindless, humorless Maoism had rendered it unreadable."

    “I had not the faintest idea or expectation of becoming a writer... My first published article was a short, pompous editorial in the McGill Daily titled 'End of the Monolith.' I got to write the equally pompous headline because I happened to be my own editor.”

    I mourn the loss of Charles Krauthammer. I was from a young age a great admirer of the singular wisdom and style of his columns. He took a stand. I met him by chance, at the Supreme Court of Israel, and my hero proved magnanimous, friendly and kind. RIP.
