Someone remind me why we have not booted the United Nations right out of New York and why we still provide approximately 22 percent of the regular UN budget and 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget when they consider 9-11 truthers and anti-Semitic rhetoric the norm from an "expert" for the UN Human Rights Council?
Breitbart points to UN Human Rights Council “expert” Richard Falk and an article of commentary once again repeating his 9-11 truther statements and then goes on to imply that Boston got what it deserved.
In his latest rant, published online on April 21, 2013 by foreignpolicyjournal.com Falk repeats the libel that prior to 9/11 President George W. Bush was seeking a “pretext” for war, and that anything Israel is the opposite of “justice and peace.”
And then he attacks Bostonians head-on. The police action in Boston was a "hysterical dragnet." Boston’s dead were "canaries" that "have to die" because of America’s “fantasy of global domination."
Falk explains the attacks as justifiable “resistance.” In his words: “The American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance in the post-colonial world.”
He minimizes the crime and predicts worse if America doesn’t change its ways to better accommodate the demands of “the Islamic world.” As he puts it: “In some respects, the United States has been fortunate not to experience worse blowbacks, and these may yet happen…”.
More from Falk's "Commentary on the Marathon Murders:
The American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance in the post-colonial world. In some respects, the United States has been fortunate not to experience worse blowbacks, and these may yet happen, especially if there is no disposition to rethink US relations to others in the world, starting with the Middle East......

Aside from the tensions of the moment, self-scrutiny and mid-course reflections on America’s global role is long overdue. Such a process is crucial both for the sake of the country’s own future security and also in consideration of the wellbeing of others. Such adjustments will eventually come about either as a result of a voluntary process of self-reflection or through the force of unpleasant events....
Yes, those pesky bombs which injured hundreds and killed three, one of which an eight year old, is an unpleasant event. Notice he doesn't call it was it was, terrorism.
Falk also calls America a menace to the world and itself.
Then Falk concludes "How many canaries will have to die before we awaken from our geopolitical fantasy of global domination?"
In 2011, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen), the Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced legislation that would have made U.S. funding for the United Nations contingent on reform.
It also calls for the U.S. to withdraw from the U.N.'s Human Rights Council.
Describing the Obama administration’s attempts to reform the HRC as a failure, Rep. Ros-Lehtinen declared that the U.S. should quit the HRC and “explore credible, alternative forums to advance human rights.
That legislation should be proposed again and adopted.
I wouldn't recommend anyone hold their breath for any length of time waiting for Obama to defend America from the verbal attacks.
