Notice how he needs to demonstrate his "even-handedness" by pointing out that he has criticized Israel in the past. It's like saying, "I've kicked my mother before in the face, so when I complement her now you know I mean it."
Just read the letter and I came to the same conclusion regarding: Nor do I see criticism of Israel as the problem here. I have frequently spoken out publicly against the policies of the Israeli government, most recently in a joint letter and comments critical of Israel’s operation in Gaza, published in the Observer in January.
"Please note that I criticized Israel so you cannot reject my complaint criticizing ..yadda, yadda, .."
And Mr Muslim President and Vice Chancellor will be smiling at the dhimmi's tone.

Something weird with my posting.
Sorry for that.
He is a surely a brave soul. I'm going to be meeting him at a Israel Advocacy Training Seminar in Toronto this weekend. I am looking forward to it!
I should have added that his letter was as a stick until it cringed into an aged carrot offered to the master.
