Richard Falk apparently believes the Khazar myth

In a talk that former UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Richard Falk, gave last February, he proved yet again that facts are not relevant to him. He said that the Jewish state should still be destroyed demographically even if a Palestinian state were to be created today because of the "right of return."\ He also said...

ESCWA fallout continues as we can see exactly who the Jew-haters are

If you single out Israel as an apartheid state, the only one in the world with that appellation, you are an antisemite. After UN ESCWA head Rima Khalaf resigned, she has been praised as "brave" for her stand. Of course, her term was up within two weeks, so there was no bravery involved whatsoever. Who has praised the report and Rima Khalaf? Mahmoud Abbas, who says he...

The UNHRC releases another anti-Israel report - but not AS biased as Richard Falk's were

Yesterday, the UN released its latest Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, by Makarim Wibisono (Richard Falks' replacement.) Wibisono is known to have made anti-Israel statements in the past. The report is not nearly as over the top as Falk's reports had been, to be sure. It is pretty much...

Richard Falk freaks out on UN Watch in official UN report (updated)

Richard Falk, the terror-supporting and constantly lying UN special rapporteur who used to support Ayatollah Khomeini, who believes in bizarre 9/11 conspiracy theories and who has justified the Boston bombings as "retribution" has written the latest of his regular anti-Israel reports for the UN. Hilariously, he goes way off topic in a crazed rant in the introduction...

Richard Falk justifies and supports Hamas rockets

I had missed this essay from December by Richard Falk. It is always interesting to see a special rapporteur of the UN justify targeting Jews - and for a supposed expert on international law to say that the laws themselves are insufficient in allowing the right of Hamas to shoot rockets at Jewish civilians: There is no doubt that Hamas’s reliance on rockets fired in the direction of Israeli civilian population centers are violations of international...

A reminder that Robert Serry and Richard Falk are idiots

During the past week I noted that both Robert Serry, the UN's envoy to the Middle East, and Richard Falk, United Nations Special Rapporteur, claimed that Hamas was ready to recognize Israel after a Palestinian Arab state was established. They follow in the footsteps of Ethan Bronner of the NYT, Karl Vick of Time magazine, and a host of so-called Middle East "experts" who refuse to believe Hamas' leaders clear statements they speak in Arabic,...

Richard Falk calls rockets towards Jerusalem "survival cries"

Richard Falk outdoes himself again with his embrace of terrorists and seething hatred for the Jewish state. In a November 18th article he wrote for - where else? - Al Jazeera, Falk liberally sprinkles lies on top of a serving of half-truths to come up with conclusions that would be universally considered the ranting of a lunatic if the object of his vitriol would...

Why are Falk and Mearsheimer promoting an anti-semitic book? (Dershowitz)

From Alan Dershowitz in The New Republic: As the discourse about Israel on university campuses continues to degenerate, there is growing concern that some of Israel’s most vocal detractors are crossing a red line between acceptable criticism of Israel and legitimizing anti-Semitism. The recent endorsements by several internationally prominent academics—including John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Richard Falk of Princeton—of...

Richard Falk freaks over Palmer, lies as usual, says Israel has no right to self defense

From Reuters: Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip violates international law, a panel of human rights experts reporting to a U.N. body said on Tuesday, disputing a conclusion reached by a separate U.N. probe into Israel's raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship. The so-called Palmer Report on the Israeli raid of May 2010 that killed nine Turkish activists said earlier this month that Israel had used unreasonable force in last year's raid, but its...

Latest Richard Falk slander: "IDF sexually abuses PalArab kids"

Richard Falk has outdone himself again in his never ending quest to demonize Israel. His latest report to the UN Human Rights Council includes this passage: The continued reports of inhumane and degrading treatment, including sexual assault, of children in detention is further deplorable....In the Ariel settlement in the occupied West Bank, children reported that they had been given electric shocks by Israeli interrogators in the settlement....

Reform rabbi dismantles Richard Falk

I blogged about the execrable Richard Falk's essay about Jewish identity, where he concluded that Jews who care about the welfare of their fellow Jews are pretty much doomed to be racists, last month. Falk gets lots of adoring comments on his blog, as well as some explicitly anti-semitic comments that he does not respond to. A reform rabbi, Ira Youdovin, writes a thoughtful response that is too good to be relegated to an almost dead comment...

Falk claims ignorance of Arab discrimination against Palestinians

On the topic thread on Richard Falk's blog, he wrote: Palestinians have been living in intolerable conditions in refugee camps and under occupation for decades. In contrast, Israelis live under conditions of relative prosperity, freedom of movement, the rule of law, while Israeli settlements daily encroach upon the 22% of historic Palestine set aside after the 1967 War for an eventual Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Who exactly...

Richard Falk's Jew-hatred

Another insufferably self-righteous rant from a lying, terror supporting Israel-hater Richard Falk: As someone who is both Jewish and supportive of the Palestinian struggle for a just and sustainable peace, I am often asked about my identity. The harshest critics of my understanding of the Israel/Palestine conflict contend that I am a self-hating Jew, which implies that sharp criticism of Israel and Zionism are somehow incompatible with affirming...

Richard Falk admits his goal is to destroy the Jewish state

Richard Falk, the proven liar and twister of international law who explicitly supports terror against Israel yet still holds the position of "UN Rapporteur for Palestine," has written an article that make clear that the purpose of BDS is not to change Israeli behavior but to delegitimize Israel altogether in the international community. The article in Al Jazeera - a fitting venue for his hate - refers to the current wave of efforts to demonize Israel...

Richard Falk shows his hypocrisy again

From YNet:In Geneva, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Richard Falk, urged Israel's European and North American allies to press for the immediate end of the blockade "backed up by a credible threat of economic sanctions."Isn't that "collective punishment" against the entire population of Israel, something that Falk considers unacceptable in the extreme?(Links to other examples of Falk's lies, hypocrisy, support for...

Richard Falk's support of terror

We've already seen how the UN's Richard Falk, the supposed "expert" in international law, twists the law itself to serve his anti-Israel agenda.We've already seen how he has lied about verifiable facts to bash Israel and support Hamas.More than once.Falk has also asked the UN explicitly to ignore any Palestinian violations of human rights within their own areas.And, of course, he has compared Israelis to Nazis.Today, this self-righteous hypocritical...

Britain calls Richard Falk's UN report "biased"

A rare moment of diplomatic candor and truth:Britain criticised Wednesday a report by a UN human rights investigator on Israel's Gaza offensive as "unbalanced", but insisted it was extremely concerned by the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.Last month, the UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Richard Falk, said in a report that there was "reason" to conclude that Israel's massive military offensive on Gaza in December and January...

Falk's Law: Israelis must be sitting ducks

Richard Falk, the serial liar who leaves no stone unturned in his relentless quest to demonize Israel, has a new report for the UN:A United Nations human rights investigator said on Thursday that Israel's military assault on densely populated Gaza appeared to constitute a grave war crime.Richard Falk, UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said the Geneva Conventions required warring forces to distinguish between military...
