This man should be fired!! "Falk has been repeatedly condemned by the U.N. secretary general and the U.S. government for anti-Semitic prejudice, endorsement of 9/11 conspiracy theories, and other offensive statements. Most recently, he implied that the U.S. and its support for Israel were to blame for the bombings in Boston. In response to Falk’s unprecedented report today, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva promptly issued another condemnation: Mr. Falk’s most recent statement, which he dramatically and recklessly included in an official UN document, is characteristic of previous reprehensible comments and actions he has made during his tenure as a special rapporteur. It once again starkly demonstrates that he is unfit to serve in his role as a UN special rapporteur. His views and behavior, both official and unofficial, are offensive and provocative and do nothing to advance peace in the Middle East or to further the protection and promotion of human rights. We again call for his resignation. UN Watch does admirable work reporting and analyzing the activities of the Human Rights Council, particularly that body’s bias against Israel. The U.S. should be commended for defending UN Watch against this blatant attempt by Falk to intimidate and punish a U.N. accredited NGO for accurately alerting the broader human rights community to his statements and actions. Those wishing to support UN Watch can do so here."
