aris2chat, Phoenall, pbel, et al,
Richard Falk is an 83 year old man, that has been an established anti-"this and that" for many decades now. Professor Falk falls into a special group of people, with the likes of Noam Chomsky, George Steiner, and Michael Neuman; all of whom have impeccable credentials, all of whom speak both eloquently and passionately, and all of whom could not be less anti-Israeli if they had been devoted understudies of Sheik Izz ad-din al-Qassam (father of the Palestinian Black Hand). Much like Noam Chomsky, George Steiner, and Michael Neuman, Professor Falk is not a true and unbiased authority on the subject of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but rather --- an unwavering activist for the pro-Palestinian Movement.
It is important that you understand Professor Falk's position and address them directly, rather than to challenge his personality and mental condition; the very same as you would the commentaries of Noam Chomsky, George Steiner, and Michael Neuman.
In the case of professor Falk, no one is going to jump up and use his material as authoritative research. Both sides know he needs help and sympathy.

I knew him back in Beirut. He was not unbias even then. He wrote a report for the Kahan commission. I wrote a report for the Al-Quwwāt al-Musallaḥa al-Lubnāniyya and the UN.
