Will UN Ambassador Samantha Power Legitimize Anti-US/Israel Richard Falk?
Breitbart ^ | 6/9/13 | Anne Bayefsky

Posted on 06/09/2013 9:13:08 PM PDT by Nachum

What do Samantha Power, Obama’s nominee for UN Ambassador, and Richard Falk, UN Human Rights Council “expert” and Boston terror apologist, have in common? They both champion the United Nations’ human rights credentials and denigrate those of the United States.

On Monday in Geneva at the Human Rights Council, Falk will provide a demonstration. Courtesy of the UN’s top human rights body – a body which the Obama administration joined and strongly supports – Falk will be welcomed to the podium to condemn Israel and throw potshots at the United States.

The event will be an “interactive dialogue” with states and non-governmental organizations on Falk’s recently-released report and activities over the past year. Interventions are strictly time-limited but public. Falk will be given the last word.

Falk will deliver a report “on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories” with his trademark style of anti-Semitism. And that is precisely why the Council chose Falk for the job of UN special rapporteur on Israel. His formal job description is “to investigate” what was already decided to be “Israel’s violations…” And only Israel’s. There is no UN human rights investigator of Palestinian violations.

This nomination following Chuck Hagel is a DISGRACE. Now is the time for senators to start doing their job. I won’t hold my breath for any more than a handful though. Any senator who confirms this troglodyte cannot ever claim to be a friend of Israel again.

He always has to choose the most vile person he can.
It shouldn’t surprise us in the least anymore.

He’ll just turn around and say how much he supports Israel and the news will echo it and fawn all over him . Sadly way to many will just hear that echo and repeat how much he just loves Israel because he says he supports them.

I can’t believe people are so blind that they can not see it doesn’t matter what he say when he just does exactly the opposite .

The absolute worse things he could possibly do to and for Israel and our country is exactly what he does.

Doesn't she need to be confirmed first? Why is she being called the UN Ambassador, rather than the nominee?

The Senate supports al Qaeda over America,
it supports al Qaeda over past American allies.

Given that al Qaeda bombed America in 911 (and other times),
and the US Gov’t just does not care (but wants to go
after the American victims), there is getting to be
fewer ways to correct this.
