historic justice   (03.21.14)
Jewish immigration from all over the world to Jerusalem is historic justice, even when it cause economic push out of other nations. The Jews want Jerusalem more than others and they will get it.
9. This is America
Jerome ,   AKL   (03.21.14)
the highest contributor for the anahilation of Jews, whether through assimilation, secularism and plain Americanisation. Richard Falk is the by-product of the silent American ellimination of the Jews on their soil. Wake up before it's too late.

18. Human Rights?
Yaron ,   NY   (03.21.14)
I only wish for this delusional individual to spend one week among the animals in Gaza and the west bank and then say it is Israel who is an apartheid state and doesn't want peace. These liberal jews may end up being worse than the terror organizations themselves.
19. I wonder what kind of moral rot&decay brings individuals
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.21.14)

25. Islam has More States Than Jews
Netherlands   (03.22.14)
26. Really the Scrutiny if Human Rights by UN
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (03.22.14)
His analogy and comparisons of IL policy and actions to the Nazi 's just show how inept UN discourse and diplomacy is. Unable, unwilling to intervene in CAR to prevent mass genocide, a feeble and pathetic response to the crisis in Crimea or Syria. The obscene standing by on the ground to watch just yards away at massacres Srebrenicha and in Rwanda. Analogy is a useful and sometimes entertaining linguistic tool, to help us understand and appreciate a concept or event. The UN is inept in its use if language , hardly diplomatic to refer to one side in a dispute as acting like Nazi, when any diplomat and historian would understand the effect this would have on a people who were the prime target of Nazi genocide. Does anyone take the UN seriously anymore?
27. Syria !!!
JACK ,   israel   (03.22.14)
You mean it is O.K. to to do those things ,but a bit less than the Syrians.
28. He's only talking to UNHR Council
Mark ,   London, UK   (03.22.14)
Unpleasant and unfounded comment but hey, the main purpose of this body is to share ways or repressing their own populations.....otherwise no contribution to anything at all.
29. Falk has a long history of viciously anti-Israel attacks
Zvi   (03.22.14)
including insane 9-11 conspiracy theories and severely distorted, biased "reportage" from the region. The attempt to identify the man as Jewish is nothing but an attempt to pump up the credibility of a crazy and extremely biased official who never met an anti-Israel lie that he did not like and who was hired by an incredibly anti-Israel UNHRC. Reuters reporting is distorted enough, but supporting it by referring to the man as Jewish in the sub-header is utter foolishness.
30. 2 states, Greater Israel, 6M Jews, Greater Arabia,350M Arabs
