Mr. Sharansky reiterated that despite the library’s tumultuous history, and its 6th relocation, its existence and the cultural value it brings are firmly protected by the Russian community and the library’s friends in Israel’s institutions and government.

Fathi Eljahmi, the most prominent democratic dissident in Libya, died last Thursday. Eljahmi had endured seven years in unspeakable conditions in the Libyan prison system. His crime? He spoke out, unflinchingly, for freedom of speech and democratic reforms. Two days before his death, with Eljahmi already in a coma, the Libyans sent him to Jordan. The U.S. State Department lauded his “release” as a welcome development.

The focus of his speech Monday night was labeled a “dialogue about human rights, freedom, justice, democracy, peace and the Middle East.” Despite his somewhat controversial subject matter, the crowd remained mostly silent and respectful. He discussed the future of Israel, Palestine and the rest of the Middle East.

The last time Natan Sharansky came to speak in the Bay Area, he didn’t speak.

A dispute over whether he could bring an armed bodyguard onto the San Francisco State University campus derailed the 2004 lecture.

But on May 5, all sailed smoothly as Sharansky addressed a supportive crowd of about 200 people at U.C. Berkeley. No protesters, no booing, no anti-Israel invective.

Before Natan Sharansky’s lecture last Tuesday evening, May 5, I expected the worst. This was U.C. Berkeley after all, the Bay Area’s happiest of happy hunting grounds for anti-Israel cranks. And Sharansky – the one-time imprisoned Refusenik -- is today a proud Israeli and in-your-face Zionist.

Durban II, the U.N. conference in Geneva that ended on Friday, will forever be remembered for handing a global megaphone to genocidal hatemonger Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the name of combating racism. By the end of the week-long jamboree, even the South African ambassador insisted that participants stop referring to the meeting as Durban II because "it is maligning my country."

And ex-gulag resident Natan Sharansky condemned the Orwellian spectacle of an antiracism conference run by some of the world's worst human-rights violators, an absurdity that reminded him of Soviet show trials.\n\nConsider that Libya and Iran were the leading organizers of this conference and thus responsible for drafting declarations that single out Israel among the nations for condemnation -- the modern form of anti-Semitism.

"Woe unto any of you out there who support Hamas," Dershowitz thundered. "You are supporting Hitler's heirs - you are complicit in the great evil of the twentieth century." Natan Sharansky linked the Soviet Union's "Orwellian world" with the modern UN's Orwellianism. Sharansky offered a simple test for "a real conference against racism." Countries that grant free speech should be given free speech; countries that fight against racism should be allowed to join the conference combating racism. Father Desbois, who uncovers mass graves of Jews in Eastern Europe by speaking to elderly parishioners, demonstrated the importance of challenging people to do the right thing. When he approaches, many ask "Father, why are you coming so late."

While he understands that the United States might chose to negotiate with the regime over its nuclear program, he urged the White House to constantly make clear to the regime leaders "that the real allies of the free world are not dictators, no matter how so-called moderate they are, but people who are supporting democratic change."
