Today, following the recent announcement by Hamas apologist Phyllis Bennis that she made it to the shortlist to replace UN monitor Richard Falk, her colleague Fiona Dove, Amsterdam-based head of the anti-Western Transnational Institute, enthusiastically tweeted the good news:
@transinstiute Phyllis Bennis tops list of nominees for UNHCR Special Rapporteur '! http://t.co/a1OpNgZS4t via @wordpressdotcom
— Fiona Dove (@fionadove) February 14, 2014
Eight minutes later, after she discovered that Bennis has been defeated after her long record of bias was exposed by UN Watch, Dove retracted:
@transinstitute Phyllis Bennis was subject to scurrilous attacks in the Israeli press and is not to be the next UNHCR Special Rapporteur
— Fiona Dove (@fionadove) February 14, 2014
If quoting terror apologists’ own words constitute “scurrilous attacks,” we plead guilty.
