re: #36 Baier

If the UN has the power to make a war legal, surely they have the moral authority to condemn Israel.

They called this attack today “unacceptable.” Yesterday, however, they had much stronger language to say about Israel…

Israel UN envoy slams Falk over accusation of ‘ethnic cleansing’

Israel’s United Nations Envoy Aharon Leshno Yaar called Richard Falk an “embarrassment to the United Nations,” after the academic charged Israel with ethnic cleansing on Monday.

Falk, who is also an investigator for the UN, said earlier in the day that Israel’s expansion of settlements in East Jerusalem and eviction of Palestinians from their homes is a form of ethnic cleansing.

Speaking to Haaretz, Leshno Yaar said Falk is the man who “claims that it is unclear who stands behind the terror attacks of 9/11 and calls IDF soldiers Nazis.”

They got some swell people working over there at the UN.
