1. Expert?A Conspiracy theorist paid by the UN for"Palestine"
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (10.26.12)
Who like his Arabs portrays Israel as a dog
2. Iran &Egypt called it fair &balanced. A typical UN.farce
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (10.26.12)
3. Why not have the Mossad hit this POS?
jason white ,   afula, israel   (10.26.12)
Where are the cowardly "rabbis" to excommunicate falk? This is another reason we do not need rabbis in this day and age. They do not defend the Jews and Israel, but they look for B.S. little things to annoy people like smartphones and women not allowed in politics.
4. Why is the US or Israel even in the UN?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.26.12)
5. Thank God for Richard Falk
(10.26.12)
Israel hates the truth getting out. A boycott of Israeli goods is good advice indeed
6. UN - Boycott settlements
Alan ,   Teaneck, NJ   (10.26.12)
Tell Falk to go F--k himself!
7. First he presents the accusations as fact in a report
William ,   Israel   (10.26.12)
then admits the next step is actually to see if there's any validity to his claims. Basically he's just throwing anti-Israel crap against the wall to see what sticks.
8. "there is a sense that what the UN says doesn't count"
William ,   Israel   (10.26.12)
That's absolutely correct, and verified through the many other global leaders who ignore the UN. Wasn't it Assad who claimed the UN was a useless organization? And still UNHRC can't seem to get a report together on the massive human rights abuses in Syria by his regime, but can pump out reports on Israeli neighborhoods on barren hilltops with ferocious regularity.
9. If he really want to highlight human rights abuses,
Brett ,   JHB RSA   (10.26.12)
Perhaps he should go accross the borders and highlight how these abuses are perpertrated by our neighbours on their own people and the oppresion of the palatinains in their refugee camps. Double standards bla bla bla, it never ends!!
10. Richard Falk
Ralph ,   Rishon Le Zion   (10.26.12)
Who is the idiot who awards that bigot the title "expert". Expert at what?
11. UN can Falk itself
RedBull ,   USA   (10.26.12)
12. Hebron is the birthplace of Judaism.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (10.26.12)
13. Falk an 'expert' at what?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.26.12)
He is a total buffoon that wouldn't know an international law if it bit him. He is a racist supporter of terrorism and fascism. So just what the fuck is this idiot an expert of? How to lie like an Arab?
14. Boycotting everyone
Bill ,   New York, USA   (10.26.12)
Somewhere in Maale Adumim, somebody has an iPhone with iTunes and apps. All good leftists need to get Zunes where they get whatever songs are available to Zunes. Let's also not forget that people in the settlements buy painkillers, antibiotics and statins. So it is important that all good leftists boycott medicine. I'm just trying to help. There's nothing worse than a sloppy boycott, so just trust me. I'm looking out for you.
15. United Nations
David Asleson ,   Minneapolis USA   (10.26.12)
United Nations is a joke. Did the UN say they protested the rockets coming into Israel.
16. falk- go f urself
Barney ,   USA   (10.26.12)
17. the unbalanced see themselves balanced
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (10.26.12)
"in the General Assembly, representatives from several countries including Egypt and Iran called Falk's report fair and balanced." the lunatics see themselves as normal and view the normals as unbalanced.
18. Sacrifice Israel to appease muslims.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (10.26.12)
It will never work. The EU will sink in the masses of muslim immigrants very soon. No matter settlement goods are imported or not.
19. There should exist a special Hell for Falks of this world...
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.26.12)
20. Mr. Falk, you have no credibilty...
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (10.26.12)
Mr. Falk, you'd have alot more credibility if you called for a similar boycott of companies dealing with American settlements on Native Indian land or Australian settlements on Aborigine land. Granted, there is a slight difference...Jews actually have a 3000 year history of living on THIS land. Until you call for such a boycott, it will remain obvious to most that you are simply another Israel basher with a hateful agenda.
21. Quotes by Falklands
Nitirootman ,   Canada   (10.26.12)
"There is a sense that what the UN says doesn't count" Finally a statement by Falk that is absolutely correct. Welcome to the real world Mr Falk.
22. Boycott! what?
Nechama ,   USA   (10.26.12)
Stupid morron! 95 % of the workers on those factories are Arab-Muslism from the WestBank, so they will be jobless. Someone needs to give brain to this ass. By the way, historically the WestBank is ours and belongs to us. Expert on nothing, go home!
23. Boycott, nazi times again?
Judean ,   exile   (10.26.12)
It kinda reminds me of the nazi times, when Europeans started to boycott Jewish shops and owners.
24. Only against the settlements
Keren, IL-BR ,   Tel Aviv   (10.26.12)
It seems to be all right to boycott Israel but only those factories out of the Green Line. Most of Israelis are decent people like me, that was given the opportunity to leave the slums of Rio to get a new life in the Land of Zion. But my land finishes where that of my neighbour's start: the Green Line. Crossing this line is forbidden.
25. #20
(10.26.12)
You state that you have a 3000 year history in Israel (BS-show us your family tree, you European!), when most zionists claim a 4,000 year history there???
26. The F word
deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (10.26.12)
A few here have already used the F word as a fitting wish for Mr Falk ...So I will reiterate the phrase albeit a little more obvious for the lad. Hey Peter, go falk yourself !
27. which firms....?
andy ,   cannock uk   (10.26.12)
It would be useful to know which companies we are talking about here, as there will be a lot of people like myself who would like to be able to use the list to actively support those companies by purchasing their products and services.
28. the real truth !
yossi ,   Israel   (10.26.12)
The Real truth is that the Land of Israel was promised to the jewish people by god and there is no "palestinians" nation they were and still are arabs. That is why there are no settlements but all of the land should be Israeli. Now this so called expert is not an expert at all - first he should learn his history then he can become an expert, Also how come he isn't bothered by the human rights INSIDE gaza strip where the "gentle" palestinians abuse each other...botoom line is he's just another twat who is an expert of bullshitting....
29. Robert Falk has a history of hate..
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.26.12)
He has been on the arena for many many years spreading shit against Israel. The norwegian leftist have also referred to him as a reliable source, even knowing this creature is completely biased. The only statment we have NOT got from him is," I AM A MUSLIM.". By the way, he is just another idiot beeing brainwashed in his lonlyness...:-)
30. UN expert: Boycott companies in Israel
john ,   uk   (10.26.12)
he is expert in inventing things against israel what about other countries who do worst things then israel has he ever said anything about them
