(IsraelNN.com) United Nations investigator Richard Falk said Tuesday in an interview with the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) that he stood by a statement he made in 2007 comparing Israel to Nazi Germany. He said his “provocative” remark was meant to raise awareness of the suffering of Gaza Arabs.
If the remark had been made regarding Sudan’s treatment of Darfur, where hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions forced out of their homes, “I think there would be no reluctance to make that comparison,” Falk said. The reason people are more willing to compare Sudan to Nazi Germany than Israel is because Israel is determined to avoid having its policies judges by the international community, he said.
Foreign Ministry officials announced Tuesday that they would not grant Falk a visa to visit Israel. Falk is meant to monitor Israel’s treatment of Palestinian Authority Arabs for the UN Human Rights Council.
UN investigators appears to be the last ditch employers for those who absolutely, positively, have shown no affects of any kind of an education. What a loon. I only wish I had a time machine to ship this clown back to Nazi Germany so that he could enjoy the differences between Israel and Nazi Germany.
Why would the UN think that Israel would accept this guy as a monitor of the human rights situation among of their treatment of the Palistinian Arabs? Someone who holds such an opinion is clearly not a neutral monitor.
This guy is ignorant. He evidently doesn’t know that Israel has given hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinians. They have also given their police weapons so they can peform their duties. Israel does not instigate problems. It addresses them in some of the few ways that it can.
When someone calls Israel equal to Hitler, they reveal that they haven’t a clue what Hitler was.
Yeah, let's just completely ignore the fact that Arabs in Gaza have instigated many unprevoked attacks against Israelis, and are the benefactors of their own behavior.
But the Palestinians are the victims. They can't help that they're not civilized, they just happen to be following a religion that has no basis in civilized behavior. They don't know any better.
WOW!! I just realized that the content of this post qualifies me to be UN Secretary General. It's America's and/or Israel’s fault. Where's your oil for food money at??
I'm gonna be good at this job.
Richard Falk has my permission to kindly sit on an air hose and turn it on full blast!
