31. #28 "promised to the jewish people by god"
Robert ,   Australia   (10.26.12)
Are you totally deluded or have you been brainwashed into believing a fairy story like that?
32. Why is Falk's nose red - is He always writing as drunk?
Jouko ,   Finland   (10.26.12)
33. Hey, Mr. Falk
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.26.12)
How about the United States government continuing to support the exploitation of foreign workers throughout the world by permitting the outsourcing of American jobs overseas? These foreign workers are employed in deplorable conditions, earn next to nothing and produce really shoddy quality work. Shouldn't those American companies who outsource the work be boycotted? Why, then, are you so silent? Think of all the American workers who have been thrown out of work because of outsourcing; think of all the foreign workers who are terribly victimized and exploited, including children who ought to be in school. Again -- WHY ARE YOU SO SILENT?
34. The post at No. 24 is a fraud.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.26.12)
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any Jews in Brazil living in a slum. Brazil accounts for some of the wealthiest Jewish communities in the world! The troll didn't do his or her homework. And they are not slums -- they are called "favellas." Any Brazilian would know that.
35. To: No. 25
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.26.12)
No Jew has to prove a damned thing to you, or anyone else. The archaeological record speaks for itself, as does the written history. That said -- please provide proof that any ersatz "Palestinians" existed before 1964? The identity as Palestinians has ALWAYS been exclusively that of the Jewish people. You need look only to the census records during the Ottoman period and during the Mandatory period -- the only people ever referred to as Palestinians were the Jews. Arabs were just always referred to as Bedouins or Arabs. They co-opted the Jewish identity as Palestinians in 1964. But they aren't fooling anyone except ignorant and uneducated louts such as yourself. The ersatz "Palestinians" come from the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert. Most did not even arrive in Palestine until the British pushed them there following World War I (they wanted them well out of the way so that they could exploit the vast petroleum reserves in Saudi Arabia and Iraq). You really should get an education. Your ignorance is startling.
36. #5 Another anti-Israel person
Madeleine ,   Israel   (10.26.12)
have you ever heard the Palestinians on the subject of boycotting goods from Yehuda and shomron? No? I thought not. they are AGAINST any boycott and why? Because thousands of Palestinians work in those industries and in agriculture and boycotting means that they will lose their jobs. Seen footage of Gaza with stores laden with israeli produce? why? Because by their own admission, israeli products are better than those they receive from other countries. And of course you can't even write your name or a pseudonym, or even in which country you live.
37. I call for a boycott on Falk!
nibor ,   israel   (10.26.12)
38. Falk you!!!
Lila ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.26.12)
39. arab/anti-semite un lap dog, not expert. why do you call him
ralph   (10.26.12)
anyt thing different. he works for an immoral organization. he is no expert.
40. Richard Falk
NYC Girl   (10.26.12)
It's interesting that nowhere in the article does it mention that Falk, himself, is a Jew....albeit one with a pathological self-hatred, which he makes no effort to hide, and which obviously plays into his deranged opinions on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Also, even though the term "emeritus" may be appropriate in Falk's case, it tends to leave the mistaken impression that this title has anything to do with merit. It merely means that he retired, which raises the question of how the hell did a highly-respected university like Princeton ever hire this racist mongrel in the first place?
41. No #5 and #25
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (10.26.12)
Well said! I could not have expressed it better myself. You show a true spirit of uncorrupted Christianity!
42. # 5,25,41..
Edithann ,   USA   (10.26.12)
Yes it was well said...and as you can see not well received. Same sanctions on Israel as are placed on Iran....NOW! TATA
43. quoting what Falk bark about 911
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (10.26.12)
"he arguments swirling around the 9/11 attacks are emblematic of these issues. What fuels suspicions of conspiracy is the reluctance to address the sort of awkward gaps and contradictions in the official explanations that David Ray Griffin(and other devoted scholars of high integrity) have been documenting in book after book ever since his authoritative The New Pearl Harbor in 2004 (updated in 2008). What may be more distressing than the apparent cover up is the eerie silence of the mainstream media, unwilling to acknowledge the well-evidenced doubts about the official version of the events: an al Qaeda operation with no foreknowledge by government officials. Is this silence a manifestation of fear or cooption, or part of an equally disturbing filter of self-censorship? Whatever it is, the result is the withering away of a participatory citizenry and the erosion of legitimate constitutional government. The forms persist, but the content is missing" quoting Falk. so you still want to hear what this fellow bark?
44. #25 :-))
mark ,   ca   (10.26.12)
Post your name ,address and I'll send you my family tree and more...
45. To Mr. Fack... sorry Mr. Falk...
Jerusalem Girl ,   Jerusalem   (10.26.12)
I'm sitting now in my living room in West Jerusalem, licking Ha'Shomron white cheese with a tea spoon. For dessert i'll eat sweet dates from Jorden Valley. I'm after shower so my skin smells wonderful from AHAVA body lotion. Boycott me baby, Boycott me.
46. To Graczek 41
Markos Kidane ,   Prague   (11.29.12)
Please don't use God's name in vain! You are not a Christian in the biblical sense of the Word because if you truly feared the God of Israel, you would not hate His people, Israel. You are following in the steps of the Crusades, Spanish inquisitions and myriads of other deluded so called Christian who thought they were being zealous for Christ by killing His chosen. Shame on you and the many other deluded so called Christians who have bought into the lie of replacement theology. I do hope you do repent before God for touching the Apple of His Eye....one day you will know the truth...I just hope it won't be to late....there is still time to repent, use it...because at this junction in time, you and other so called Christians who think that God is done with Israel, are deceived.
