UN Appoints "Truther" to Investigate Israel
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/04/020272.php ^

The United Nations Human Rights Commission has appointed Richard Falk, a former Princeton professor, to a six-year term as "special investigator on Israeli actions in the territories." Israel has denounced the appointment, since Falk is a virulent critic of Israel. Falk has written that Israel is comparable to Nazi Germany, and he has condoned mass murder bombings by Palestinians, while accusing Israel of "state terrorism."

Falk is, in addition, a "truther." For those who don't frequent the fever swamp, a "truther" is someone who believes that the United States government carried out the September 11 attacks.

It’s time to tear down the UN building and turn the property into a parking lot. It would be of better service to humanity.

Hmmmmm . . . . wonder what his report will say???

Why didn’t they just re-hire Hans Blix - or is it the UN’s new mission to provide hate-filled liberals with employment recommending the destruction of Israel?

(BTW, isn’t that Iran’s Ahm A Nutjob’s job??)

We need a new party.

It’s first objective will be to complete eliminate the UN, and the second objective will be to eliminate NAFTA and to reinstall Fair Trade instead of ‘free’ trade ~ free for everyone but Americans.

I have to state the obvious.
Muslim countries have taken over the UN, by denying that the umma is one, and islam should have only one vote.

At least that's what they preach every day; n every practical sense, islam is "one".

How long has a UN "truther" had been in the occupied territories (occupied by muslim squatters, of course)? Monitoring weapons factories, rocket launching sites and murder bombers training schools?

If there have been none, then Israel should tell the UN to go pound sand...

While funds paid by the US to the United Nations are fungible to a limited extent, IIRC the US is specifically not funding the operations of the UN Human Rights Commission.

I imagine all the oil-rich Arab states and Iran are picking up the tab since Falk says things they like to hear.

The UN is as stupid and worthless as Al Gore. They are nothing but a bunch of elitist douche-bags who sit around and tell each other how brilliant they are. It is nothing more than a giant set of lips attached to the ass of whatever tyrant is the flavor of the month.

American taxpayers pay the U.N. to destroy America.
