Certainly not. Falk is an antisemite and a delusional hamas supporter. A perfect for for the UN's human right comission.

..totally off the wall..

The man might hold a senior position in the UN but he is still an Israel / America hating moron like that other Jewish idiot Chomsky and is not to be taken seriously.

Two of a Kind !

and 6 days later totally abandoned the displaced arab millions whom they totally neglected since 1948. perhaps mr. falk you should keep to yourself your perverted opinions against Israel.

The whole middle east is in a turmoil. Especially Syria with the weeks and months to come of war yet Falk and the UN continue to focus on Gaza ....which really is not bad at all.

countered. and shown for the immoral bastard he is.

Sir, you are simply another very significantly low IQ Idiot spouting more unsubstantiated rhetoric. Please go home and tidy your room. ...warm regards, Gregg Bowman

Who is the most morbidly obsessed with Israel? 1. Richard Falk 2. Tom Friedman (NYT) 3. Catherine Ashton 4. Barack Obama 5. Other

it, has always been: Israel's demise. He can't and would not contribute to it through the brutal way of a full scale war against the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, although he would not object to it and certainly not stand in the way of such an act. Nor Mr. Falk would object to the war-of-attrition-through-terror that Muslim-Arabs have been conducting against the Jewish community of the country since April 1920 and is yet to cease; all with the full intent of "cleansing" the Jewish people's ancestral homeland of its Jews. But, when Jews stand tall to ensure the very first of all human rights: the right of life and life's defense, of Jews, he uses his "legal" skills to ensure that the Jews of Israel may not be entitled to that which all humans are.

When I hear this guy say that every suicide murder of Jews and every missile fired into Israel is "collective punishment" of Jews for simply being alive, then maybe I will take his Jew hating rants seriously. Until then, this guy, should be ignored. The Palestinians have declared war on Israel, and would rather continue to try to kill Jews than live in peace with the Jewish state. Falk and the other Jew haters can't stand it when Jews defend themselves, and refuse to go quietly to their deaths.

If you think that Falk is wrong, tell where he is wrong and why he and many other prominent Jews are fighting against Israeli crimes. And tell why do you have to punish every Gazans and other Palestinians every day? You must know that it does no good for you. It only grows the hate against Israel in every corner of this planet. What if you once listened to Richard Falk? He has many true points in his accusations. Why not make a turn to right side of history, before you destroy Israel by inhumanity. Sorry, if I didn't have strength to write more politely. I wish you all the best, but I feel that your extreme right is destroying Israel.

The creation of Jordan was illegal - it remains the worst Post-W.W.2 crime and the substantial cause of the Holocaust. The Muslims were given 22 states that never existed 100 years ago - they can give a state for the Copts who are facing persecution.

Collective punishment? Why not! These are the people who voted for the Hamas terrorist, the people who rejoice at every terrorist attact on Israel. Collective punishment? Siege is one of the oldest and most recognized strategies of war, there is nothing wrong with it. And for those who say civilians and infants need food and medical supplies, let Hamas smuggle these instead of weapons and ammunition/

You just don't get it do you !! If Hamas spent just a fraction of what they spend on buying Iranian Missiles etc and spend it on improving the lives of innocent Gazans (Israel would be only too happy to help I'm sure) then Gaza might be one of the most prosperous places on earth ! But that goes right over you head ... dosen't Mr (UN) Falk !

Seventy Six Years ago the Partition of Palestine into a Jewish State a Palestinian State and a British Led Peace Keeping State was Rejected with Catastrophic Consequences .Also Hamas Claims all of Israel for Islam Yet if Hamas Gaza accepts a Truce Human Rights ought be Stringently Accepted .

You seem to think that the Israeli vs Palestinian thing started in 1967. I wish fools like you would read up on history of the Middle East from the beginning of the 1900's. Palestinian Arabs were murdering Palestinian Jews long before Nakba and long before the 1967 War which led to occupation.

Israel withdrew from Gaza a long time ago. Still, the missile and mortar fire hasn't stopped. Neither have the IED devices and the attempts to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Hamas and the other jihadist elements in Gaza are very clear about their goals, and they state them often enough -- they are bent upon the destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people. When the Gazans learn to behave like human beings, their conditions will improve. As it is, Israel provides them with FREE humanitarian aid, FREE food, FREE fresh water and FREE electricity. So why don't you get an education before spouting your nonsense? Gaza is a terrorist cesspool. How can you expect Israel to treat it as though it were not?

held accountable.

This self hating Jew is not "an independent investigator". He is a far left wing Jewish antiSemite. He is a useful idiot serving the very people who would kill him because he is Jewish. The only thing that would make him happy is the destruction of his own people.

"Occupation" implies Israel is a temporary conqueror occupying lands far away from it's home. When truth is, Jews in this land were attacked first, by the British and then by the Arabs "occupying" the land at the time, and Israel had the chutzpah to win. Stop the doublespeak already.

where Falk went wrong was not telling Gaza occupants that the Gaza strip is Israel land - that truth he refused to work for but collecting his salary.

From Wikipedia: "Falk described his family background as "assimilationist Jewish with a virtual denial of even the ethnic side of Jewishness." Falk, betcha wish you could sew your foreskin back on; apikoros.

and would do all that he can to undermine Israel's right to exist as the sovereign national home of the Jewish people on any piece of land.

Dear Arnold, If you punish Palestinians for something that their grandparents and Europeans have done to the Jews centuries ago, studying history don't help you. You must study yourself. - Dear Sarah, Israel withdrew from Gaza for strategic reasons, but Israel never gave Gaza change to live without siege. You should give Peace a chance in your mind. You know that after Israel left Gaza, there has been much less fatal terror strikes, but the living conditions of Gazans have deteriorated. You have created a huge out door prison for Gazans and some ghettos for WB Palestinians. It is very stupid of you in a long run. - And finaly: Dear Roman, you don't own Gaza. It is not a part of Israel in any law. Land belongs to the people who live there, not to any religion. The only legal way to absorb land for Israel is to give the citizenship of Israel to the people who live on that land. Expelling people for lebenraum for your own people is a horrible crime which will not be forgotten, as you perfectly know.

And to No.13. Spare yourself the effort. They are not worth the concern you obviously have for whats just and proper. Most of the TBers here are safe in the knowledge that they are out of range and the rest are employees of the state employed to flood websites such as this with their hatred and lies.
