Antisemitism, anti-Americanism are UN Human Rights Council official's job description
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013...falk-job-description-at-human-rights-council/
A UN âexpertâ of the UN Human Rights Council, Richard Falk, has announced that Boston had it coming. Americaâs âfantasy of global dominationâ justified what he has labeled âresistance.â Bostonâs âcanariesâ happened to be the ones the resisters decided âhave to die.â
Appointed in 2008 as the UN âSpecial Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,â Falk spends his time as a professor emeritus from Princeton University, responding to speaking invitations, collecting awards from around the country, spouting antisemitism, and supporting 9/11 conspiracy theories.
In his latest tirade in an online journal, Falk says the Boston attacks make sense when one properly understands that âthe American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance in the post-colonial world.â Consequently, he argues, we should all be âmeditatingâ on poet W.H. Audenâs apt line âThose to whom evil is done/do evil in return.â
According to Falk, what happened in Boston was a mere âblowback.â Not only that, it will get âworseâ if America does not fundamentally alter its ârelations with the Islamic world.â
Falk has been peddling his grotesque opinions from the UN platform for years. Because the truth is that antisemitism and anti-Americanism is his Human Rights Council job description. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) controls the balance of power on the Council by holding a majority of seats in the African and Asian regional groups, which in turn comprise the majority of Council members.
Now Falk has pulled Boston into his twisted terrain, where fighting back is itself indefensible. He called the police action in Boston a "hysterical dragnet." Similarly, Falk has analogized Israeli responses to Palestinian terrorism to the âNazi record of collective atrocity.â His website has sported a cartoon of a dog wearing clothing marked with âUSAâ and a star of David, devouring blood spattered bones and urinating on a statue of lady justice.
Richard Falk, however, did not materialize out of thin air. Less than two weeks ago, a top UN committee charged with drafting the first comprehensive convention against terrorism, ended in disarray because Islamic states insisted that there is a distinction between terrorism and âlegitimate struggleâ against âcolonial or alien domination.â Morsiâs Egypt led the way in pressing for a world conference on âroot causesâ of terrorism and âthe conditions conducive to terrorism.â OIC countries insisted that these conditions include âpolitical and economic injustice, marginalization, poverty, hunger and alienation.â
In short, the real victim becomes the terrorist, not Krystle Campbell, Lu Lingzi, Martin Richard, and Officer Sean Collier.
Unfortunately, the Obama administration has become a lead champion of the UN Human Rights Council. While President Bush refused to join a human rights body that had no human rights credentials for membership, joining and supporting the Council has been a signature foreign policy move of President Obama...
