On Monday morning, Anne Bayefsky was one of the few voices to oppose the anti-Israel madness of the execrable Richard Falk, the 9/11 Truther who is a Special Rapporteur at the UN Human Rights Council. The Human Rights Council, incidentally, is something the U.S. government chose to ignore until President Barack Obama decided to give it legitimacy--a policy both Susan Rice and Samantha Power fully support.
@AnneBayefksy: At UN Human Rights Council, European Union issues call for #Israel to fall on the #UN's sword, for the sake of everybody else.
@AnneBayefksy: #RichardFalk at UN Human Rights Council bashes U.S. for $$ & military cooperation with #Israel. Didn't take him long.
@AnneBayefksy: Guess what. #RichardFalk says not one word about #humanrights violation by a single Arab. Guess #Israel fighting with itself.
@AnneBayefksy: Hezbollah says #RichardFalk has been defamed. Falk becomes victim in inverted human rights world of #UN.
@AnneBayefksy: Human rights violation authority #Venezuela accuses #Israel of "systematic human rights violations."
@AnneBayefksy: #SaudiArabia says #Israel flouts human rights law. From the land of gender apartheid.
@AnneBayefksy: #Syrian representative upset by #Israeli "aggression." And no one flinched. After all, this is the #UN.
@AnneBayefksy: #Iran, whose Pres. openly advocates annihilation of Israel, says Israel guilty of genocide. UN value? Deflect attention from real violators.
@AnneBayefksy: #Cuba says "#Israel's acts are genocidal in nature." #UN "rights" council is the ideal place for hysterical lies.
@AnneBayefksy: #Syria thanks #RichardFalk for describing facts as they are. Send Falk to Syria to investigate facts as they are!
@AnneBayefksy: #Syria thanks #RichardFalk for describing facts as they are. Send Falk to Syria to investigate facts as they are!
@AnneBayefksy: Responsibility to protect applies to #Palestinians, says #RichardFalk. What do you say, Samantha Power?
