The UN’s permanent investigator of alleged Israeli human rights violations said this week that “desperation created in Gaza as a result of [Israel’s] blockade” is something “that no people since the end of World War II have experienced in such a severe and continuing form,” and he called for economic sanctions against Israel, a demand that is entirely beyond his UN mandate and a measure which no other UN investigator recommends for any other country.
Richard Falk’s thinly veiled comparison of the Jewish state with Nazi Germany would not be his first. In 2007, Falk accused Israel of planning a “Holocaust” against the Palestinians.
Falk is also a major American supporter of the conspiracy theory that 9/11 was an inside job.
