Only a few days earlier I was lamenting how embarrassed I am to be Jewish. While I have lived my entire life as a proud Jew and I certainly wear my Judaism on my sleeve, I found myself shaking my head in disbelief at the horrific acts of violence and hatred committed at the end of last week by Jewish extremists in Israel.
Yishai Schlissel (may his name be forgotten), a Haredi Orthodox man from the West Bank, stabbed six marchers in the annual gay pride parade in Jerusalem after serving ten years for a similar attack at the same gay pride parade a decade earlier. Shira Banki, of blessed memory, a 16-year-old girl who was stabbed during the parade has died from her wounds. An LGBT advocate, Shira participated in the parade to support her gay friends. In a statement, her family said, "For no good reason and because of evil, stupidity and negligence, the life of our beautiful flower was cut short."

Pakistan: The Next Colombia Success Story?
Pakistan has the potential to be a global turnaround story. I recently spent time in-country listening to a wide range of perspectives and I am convinced that U.S. policymakers and business leaders need to look at Pakistan beyond the security lens. Getting our relationship right will require deeper thinking and action on issues around trade and investment, education, and broader economic development. The United States ought to be Pakistan’s preferred partner given its 70-year relationship. But in order to participate in the upside of the Pakistan story, the United States will need to view Pakistan not as a problem to be solved but as a potential partner. There are several changes that suggest the United States should soon act on this opportunity.
Pakistan the next success story.
