The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has denounced comments by Richard Falk, a top official on the United Nations Human Rights Council, which attempted to explain the Boston Marathon bombings as a reaction to United States policy in the Middle East and Tel Aviv.
Mr. Falk, the United Nations Human Rights Council-appointed “Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,” wrote on Foreignpolicyjournal.com that, “…As long as Tel Aviv has the compliant ear of the American political establishment, those who wish for peace and justice in the world should not rest easy.” He also implied that the Boston terror attack was a justified response to U.S. policies in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
UN Official Blames Boston Bombings 'On Tel Aviv' - Global Agenda - News - Israel National News
YOUR thread title is a lie. RICHARD FALK did not blame or attempt to blame Tel Aviv for the Boston bombings. HOW do you attempt to blame someone for something? MUST be a new Zionist crime being used to unlawfully charge and unlawfully lock away more Palestinians!

Falk is a worthless maggot who makes money by writing BS that Muslims want to hear.
" In a February 1979 New York Times op-ed, after Khomeini had returned to Iran, Falk wrote, "The depiction of him as fanatical, reactionary and the bearer of crude prejudices seems certainly and happily false."[36] Falk wrote that Khomeini's "entourage was uniformly composed of moderate, progressive individuals,"[75] and that "having created a new model of popular revolution based, for the most part, on nonviolent tactics, Iran may yet provide us with a desperately-needed model of humane governance for a third-world country."
"In 2004, Falk wrote the preface to David Ray Griffin's book The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 which maintains that the George W. Bush administration was complicit in the September 11 attacks.[78]. In January 2011 Susan Rice, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, suggested that Falk should be removed from his U.N. posts after he wrote on his blog about the "eerie silence of the mainstream media, unwilling to acknowledge the well-evidenced doubts about the official version of the events: an al Qaeda operation with no foreknowledge by government officials."[83][84] United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon likewise condemned Falk's blog posting,[85] calling it "inflammatory rhetoric" which was "preposterous" and "an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in that tragic terrorist attack." Ki-moon stated that only the U.N. Human Rights Council could remove its appointees from office.[86]"
"On June 29, 2011 Richard Falk posted a cartoon image of a dog with a Jewish head-covering and a sweater with the letters "USA" urinating on Lady Justice while devouring bloody human bones.[101"
"Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird sharply criticized Falk, stating that “Once again, United Nations official Richard Falk has spewed more mean-spirited, anti-Semitic rhetoric, this time blaming the attacks in Boston on President Obama and the State of Israel. The United Nations should be ashamed to even be associated with such an individual.” A spokesperson for the United Nations subsequently stated that Secretary General Ban Ki-moon did not agree with Falk’s opinions.[100]

"In response to Falk's comments regarding the Boston Marathon Bombings, the British mission to the United Nations stated that “[this is] the third time we have had cause to express our concerns about Mr. Falk’s anti-Semitic remarks. It is important to the U.K. that special rapporteurs uphold the highest standards in their work and we have twice previously made clear that remarks by Mr. Falk were unacceptable.”[118]"
