One of the scariest things about this whole escapade is the fact that the Israeli's went and deported Professor Falk when he first arrived in Israel a couple of months back. The man was there on a UN mandate to try and ascertain the level of suffering on the ground in Gaza yet he wasn't even allowed to get out of the airport in Tel Aviv before being deported. The reason given was because in 2007, Falk, an American Jew himself, criticised Israel's actions in Gaza and stated that they were a "Holocaust in the making".

This is the well respected, and highly celebrated, American Jewish Professor of International Law at Princeton, who also happens to be the UN's special rapporteur to the Palestinian territories, we are talking about here... if the Israelis are prepared to just shut him out like that because he said something which they disliked then I can only imagine the contempt which the Israeli government must have for the Palestinians.
