UN expert stands by Nazi comments

By Tim Franks BBC Middle East correspondent

The next UN investigator into Israeli conduct in the occupied territories has stood by comments comparing Israeli actions in Gaza to those of the Nazis.

Speaking to the BBC, Professor Richard Falk said he believed that up to now Israel had been successful in avoiding the criticism that it was due.

Professor Falk is scheduled to take up his post for the UN Human Rights Council later in the year.

But Israel wants his mandate changed to probe Palestinian actions as well.

Professor Falk said he drew the comparison between the treatment of Palestinians with the Nazi record of collective atrocity, because of what he described as the massive Israeli punishment directed at the entire population of Gaza.

He said he understood that it was a provocative thing to say, but at the time, last summer, he had wanted to shake the American public from its torpor.

 

“If this kind of situation had existed for instance in the manner in which China was dealing with Tibet or the Sudanese government was dealing with Darfur, I think there would be no reluctance to make that comparison,” he said.

Okay assclowns before you start screaming anti-Semite, let me say that If I had to choose “one of the three” religions –I’m an Buddhist/Agnostic, it would be Judaism– hey they let ANY good person into paradise even if you worship the devil. Mormons look out!

Seriously Jewish people are very very good at what they do and they have close knit communities and cultures that leads to resentment and oppression, but I’d choose them over those fucking christians in a heartbeat.
