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."

We had about five weeks to organize the rally from scratch. The largest Jewish rally in Washington till then had only drawn 12-14,000 people, which didn’t give us much hope. Plus, it was slated for December, with its notoriously tricky weather. And, not for the first time, it wasn’t easy to get Jewish groups to put aside differences and unite around a shared goal.

But Natan Sharansky, released from the Gulag the previous year, kept pushing our sights higher. We set a goal of 250,000 people, never really believing we’d reach it. In fact, we exceeded it.

Mr. Sharansky spoke to the group about the importance of human freedom, arguing that the desire for freedom led to the demise of the Soviet Union. In totalitarian societies, which he referred to as “fear societies”, the majority of the people are “double-thinkers”. The dictator strives to keep the populace in a state of fear, and double-thinkers struggle to balance their desire for freedom with their desire for safety. According to Mr. Sharansky, understanding the phenomenon of double-thinkers is essential to understanding Israel’s political situation with Iran.

Natan Sharansky writes that the Israeli elections are affirmation of a wide dissolution with Oslo and any potential quick fixes. Sharansky believes that only a bottom-up approach which focuses on building a peaceful Palestinian society can bring forth true peace. Benyamin Netanyahu has expressed his belief that what is needed for the Palestinians is extraordinary economic development. Sharansky expresses optimism that President Obama will also see that a bottom up approach has the potential for real change, as it’s a true departure from the failed attempts at peace which have dominated for so long. For Sharansky, the elections have provided a possibility for a realistic path forward.
