In case it wasn’t already mentioned above…

I missed that in what I read earlier. If it was there I must have been reading too quickly or else my mind was too boggled at the contradiction to take it in!

Mooseman,

Yep, he’s American, believe it or not. It beats me why he stays here. See the Wiki article Attila linked to above. Discover the Networks stated:

Richard Falk is Professor Emeritus of International Law and Policy at Princeton University. Following his recent retirement from the Princeton faculty, he now serves as a Visiting Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2003, he took part in the Socialist Scholars Conference.

Just think of all those in academia he has influenced.

I keep hearing the libtards comparing Israel to the Butchers of Beijing and the Tibetans to the Palestinians. It gives me a terrible taste in my mouth to even repeat this.
My usual response is the Tibetans don’t kill innocent Yeshiva students, bomb buses, kidnap soldiers, and launch hundreds of rockets at civilians. The Palestinians do all this, and more. If any group in China pulled the crap the islamofacists do in Israel, you would see carpet bombing and savage retaliation against the group responsible. The Israels are far too light and careful with retaliating, their ROE is as idiotic as ours is.

IDF troops discovered a Gaza tunnel that was about to be used for a terror attack. Hamas fired three more rockets at Israeli schoolchildren and threatened to violently pour across the border – both on the pretext of their……

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Jewish, too.

She depicts the UN volunteer as the individual that loathes the state, adores revolutionary marxism, and tries to intermingle the two under the cause of human rights.

Over half of the countries in the UN are dictatorships. But no liberal cares about that. That’s the collectivist philosophy: It doesn’t matter that most of them are, individually, scumballs. Once they’re combined into a collective unit, it can do no wrong.

Liberalism is entirely subjective: if everyone is responsible, then no one is responsible. The actual atrocities that end up being comitted aren’t a problem – because no one FEELS guilty about them.

Good point!

Typical for the Useless Nonsense bunch.

Gaza UNHRC has been taken over by terrorists…

Glad it was helpful.

Discover the Networks is one of the first places I go to try to find more info on who’s who in the Left or what the Left is doing.

There are original columns there as well as other web links to individuals and groups.

I don’t like the UN either. The only way to combat the nutroots in control of this useless organ is to stay in and thwart them at every turn. To leave would be a catastrophe to the real world.

Everyone should read Samantha Powers’ recent book. You won’t like her, you won’t like her subjects, but her writing will tell you what kind of person aspires to join the UN. She depicts the UN volunteer as the individual that loathes the state, adores revolutionary marxism, and tries to intermingle the two under the cause of human rights.

It’s complete nonsense, but it’s important to know who aspires to even want to be a part of the UN.

Professor Richard Falk is honorary vice president of the American Society of International Law.

The ASIL annually blames the NY Times Editorial Page for the decline of support for international law. The membership of the ASIL is really bonkers.

ASIL is basically the US legal think tank that is the scholarly support for the United Nations in America popular culture.

The UN will crush us, if it can. If we can’t defuse this time-bomb directly, then we need to build competing alliances, with a view toward marginalizing the UN into obsolescence. Charles Krauthammer has the right idea, I think.

If not, one day we’ll wake up to see left has put the UN in charge of something like global warming. Then the UN will be telling us what light bulbs we can use, what size toilet tanks we can have, what our heating/cooling thermostat settings must be, what kind of cars we can drive, what taxes we pay and how much, and how we can otherwise use the property that we once thought we ‘owned’.

Bush was unable to keep Bolton in his position. The duly elected Congress would not support Bolton. The fault with the UN lies with the American people, and most particularly, but not solely, the Democrat party.

From Discover the Networks here’s another profile of Richard Falk.
