    Israel deports UN Rapporteur for being critical

    Israel has deported the UN HRC´s Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights, US citizen Prof Richard Falk for, in the words of the Israeli Foreign minister´s spokesman, ¨Israel-bashing¨. It was prof Falks first visit to Israel and had not actually left the airport.

    Funny how when Zimbabwe refused visas to UN workers that was news but this story was hardly reported.

    American Chronicle | U.S. Professor Richard Falk -- denied entry into Israel and deported from Ben Gurion Airport
    They were aginst him from the start:
    U.N. Taps American Jewish Critic of Israel as Rights Expert - Forward.com"

    I though he might be Jewish himself as he shares the surname of Peter Falk the Jewish actor who played Columbo and sure enough he is.

    I don't give a flying banana who they kick out.. and less what your lot have to say on the matter.
    Advances in any field are built upon people with the small or personal view. Give Israel Your support, it needs it.

    Really are you at all surprised? A man who once compared the situation in the Palestinian territories with that of the Nazi Holocaust. A man who works for the UN-HRC, formerly the UNCHR (new acronym same old Israel bashing, Falk was on a 2001 special panel investigating Israeli human rights violations then also) which the New York Times of all papers called a disgrace, conceding that, on this one point, that the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton was undeniably right.

    In it's first year of operation the UN-HRC ignored places such as Iran and Uzbekistan screaming instead at Israel over it's human rights record without addressing the violations carried out by Hezbollah and other Palestinian armed gangs.

    When Falk was the chairman of the U.S. Citizens Concerned about Freedom in Iran back in '79 he was given space in The New York Times to sing his praises for the incoming government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The ***ing idiot even backs the notion that the US Government was behind Sept. 11th, and feels that Islamic Republics (like the one the Hamas will try set up) should have their own version of humans rights - fine - have them but at least afford that level of laissez faire morality to one and all.

    Whatever effort was supposed to be made by the UN to address this anti-Israel bias it's gone now. Falk's very appointment last March was proof of that.

    To hell with Zionism. They appear to have exactly zero humanity, (not talking about Israelis or Jews in general).

    We have zero humanity?

    I guess that from where you sit - Pakistan - the people seem much more humane, killing and slaughtering each other everyday.


    Hamas, throwing people from the 15th floor, seems to have the exact humanity that fits the middle east.

    I didn't realize you were a self-professed Zionist.

    This is interesting.

    Yeah. Zero humanity, when I see how Israel treats Palestinian men, women and children, this is the only conclusion I can reach.

    Isn't it interesting to see how Zionists defend their actions!

    Hamas, Pakistan AND Zionist Israel are all inhumane savages.
    Pointing to what your enemies do is pointless when you do similar things....
    Except you use expensive missiles instead of chucking them off high buildings.

    You just have to look to how they treat their own people. Miracle of humanity, I guess, from a point of view of such people as you.

    And anyway, what do you care about their lives?
    They have always preached for suicide attacks, martyrdom and death.

    Why do you care if they get what they preach? You from all should know, after all you live in Pakistan, where human rights is the priority of Muslims there:

    They blow each other because they believe in human values. They are the rising star of compassion and mercy!

    And they are part of a world-encompassing movement of people-loving Islamist action.
