Israel's Ambassador to the U.N.,
deploys wit as a stealth
diplomatic weapon
Excerpt: This past July, Ron Prosor, Israel's
ambassador to the United Nations...was
supposed to be chairing a staff meeting, but Iran and
Syria had just announced their candidacies for the
U.N.'s Human Rights Council, and Prosor wanted to
make sure that the absurdity...was not lost on the
press. "Putting Iran and Syria on a Human Rights
Council is like putting the Godfather in charge of a
witness-protection program."
