That is possible, but on the other hand, it may equally have been done by the MEK, with or without Israeli coordination. To state the case succinctly, <strong>as a vigorous supporter of the MEK, Irwin Cotler is a friend to terrorists.<\/strong> It should be noted that <strong>no denunciation of Fakrizadeh assassination has come from either Cotler or Trudeau.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Cotler is an avid supporter of any right-wing government that supports Israel. When President Hugo Ch\u00e1vez criticized Israel\u2019s criminal assaults on Gaza and broke off diplomatic relations, Cotler added Venezuela to the list of countries to persecute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, <a href=\"https:\/\/yvesengler.com\/tag\/ariela-zeevi\/\">Yves Engler\u2019s information is illuminating<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Cotler pushed for Canada to request the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigate Venezuela\u2019s government.

This is what took place. Ten years after the fact, Libya \u2013 once boasting Africa\u2019s most vibrant economy \u2013 has been destabilized and is the scene of competing factions backed by&nbsp; conflicting imperial interests. The ensuing deaths and destruction resulting from the Cotler-inspired NATO coup in Libya still rage on with no settlement in sight. The entire region itself remains in flux. It should be noted that Ghaddafi was an unabashed defender of Palestinian rights and self-determination. Hence fair game for &nbsp;the right-wing Zionist zealot, Irwin Cotler. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a fine human being he is! What a <em>mensch<\/em>!

There are all kinds of solutions to cancer. Some say it&#8217;s necessary to amputate organs but at the moment I am applying chemotherapy.\u201d<\/em> Perhaps his close \u2018unofficial\u2019 advisor, Irwin Cotler, in one of his grandiose humanitarian gestures, advised Ya\u2019alon not to amputate but rather to \u2018radiate.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Irwin Cotler is friend of Paul Kagame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great luminary and humanist and promoter of regime change in Iran, Venezuela and anywhere else his cronies in Tel Aviv deem it relevant, Cotler is a friend and confidant of another great promoter of democracy and human rights, Rwandan President Paul Kagame. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/The-company-Irwin-Cotler-k-by-Yves-Engler-Canada_Jeffrey-Epstein_Mossad-190910-449.html\">Cotler and Kagame attended the 2017 America Israel Public Affairs Committee<\/a> (AIPAC), the pillar of the Israel lobby in Washington. It is understandable for Cotler to attend but less so for the black African Kagame who boasts of his campaign of \u2018national liberation\u2019 in Rwanda. But then, Paul Kagame has earned the epithet of \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/congocoalitionblog.wordpress.com\/2014\/02\/10\/paul-kagame-butcher-of-the-great-lakes-worse-than-idi-amin-dada\/\">Butcher Of The Great Lakes\u2019<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cKagame has far outstripped Idi Amin as a mass killer [Amin\u2019s killings are estimated at 100 000 \u2013 300 000, whereas Kagame\u2019s surely run well over (8) million civilians].\u201d&nbsp; (From \u201c<\/em>Peter Erlinder jailed by one of the major genocidaires of our Era<em>\u201d by David Paterson; 6\/17\/2010).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What better company to keep for a great humanitarian like Cotler! What\u2019s more, in 2008, <a href=\"https:\/\/yvesengler.com\/2019\/09\/08\/the-company-irwin-cotler-keeps-paul-kagame-alan-dershowitz-and-maybe-the-montreal-mob-and-jeffrey-epstein\/\">Cotler pushed a House of Commons motion to commemorate genocide prevention\/Rwanda\u2019s genocide on April 7<\/a>. \u201c<em>The choice of the day reflects the simplistic, one-sided, version of Rwanda\u2019s tragedy Kagame promotes to legitimate his dictatorship and belligerence in the region. On April 6, 1994, the plane carrying Rwandan President Juv\u00e9nal Habyarimana and Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down, unleashing the genocidal killings. So why choose April 7, rather than April 6, to commemorate genocide prevention\/Rwanda\u2019s genocide? Because Kagame\u2019s&nbsp;RPF shot down the plane carrying the two Hutu presidents and most of Rwanda\u2019s military command, which facilitated their seizing power after a multi-year war.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do birds of a feather flock together? In the case of Cotler, Ya\u2019alon and Kagame, it would appear that this is indeed the case. But let\u2019s move on to another close friend of Cotler, the affable Alan Dershowtiz.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7Irwin Cotler is a friend to Alan Dershowitz, who was a friend to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who is Alan Dershowitz? He is a well-known American lawyer and fierce Zionist zealot in the style of Cotler. Indeed, he is a true bosom buddy of Cotler even more so than Paul Kagame. Alan Dershowitz has referred to Irwin Cotler as the \u2018Alan Dershowitz of Canada.\u2019 As we shall see, that is a rather dubious honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dershowitz defended O.J. Simpson, suspected of murdering his wife in a fit of jealous rage, represented the late Claus Von Bulow who was accused of &nbsp;\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/05\/31\/claus-von-bulow-cleared-in-an-attempted-murder-of-his-wife-dies.html\">putting his wife, Martha \u201cSunny\u201d von Bulow, into an irreversible coma to gain her fortune so he could live with his mistress, a raven-haired soap opera actress<\/a>,\u201d defended the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/politics\/story\/2020-01-17\/alan-dershowitz-named-to-trumps-impeachment-legal-team\">sex fiend, Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, and recently defended Donald Trump against the attempt to impeach him which Ryan Miller, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/onpolitics\/2018\/07\/07\/alan-dershowitz-backing-trump-o-j-simpson-mike-tyson\/765298002\/\">writing in <em>USA Toda<\/em><em>y<\/em><\/a>, called \u201cworse than defending O.J. Simpson.\u201d But Dershowitz, the great humanist brims with humility and basically wrote off&nbsp; these episodes in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/pages\/frontline\/oj\/interviews\/dershowitz.html\">PBS Frontline in 2005<\/a> to the effect that \u201c <em>Every lawyer who\u2019s also a good person has these ambivalences.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite a track record and certainly well-suited to bosom buddy-ship with Irwin Cotler! In between all these \u2018worthy causes,\u2019 Dershowitz found time to smear the reputation of Professor Norman Finkelstein, (author of numerous works on the Palestinian question, including <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Holocaust_Industry\">The Holocaust Industry<\/a>, which foreshadows the subsequent invention of the IHRA anti-Semitism inquisition) to the extent that Finkelstein lost his professorial post at DePaul University.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yves Engler adds an eyeful to the \u2018glorious\u2019 (inglorious?) career of Alan Dershowitz with a wink at Cotler as well.
