Anti-Americanism at the United Nations is now routine. Every few days some kind of statement comes out of the United Nations condemning the United States.
It is impossible to keep up with the criticisms because there are so many. U.N. hostility toward the United States reached an all-time high in 2001 when the United States was removed from the U.N. Human Rights Commission. Instead the despotic countries Libya Syria and Sudan were given seats. The removal was done in retaliation for the United States defense of Israel.
One of the recent attacks coming from the United Nations has reached another outrageous level. U.N. expert" Richard Falk wrote an article about the Boston bombings asserting that Boston had it coming. Falk who is Jewish has a history of anti-Israel sentiments. He issued this warning condemning both the United States and our relationship with Israel 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. The United Nations appointed Falk an American in 2008 as the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories. The Obama administration pays 22 percent of Falks costs in this position.
25 Congressional leaders submitted letters to Obama and to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon calling for Falks removal from the U.N. Human Rights Council. Even the Obama administration admitted Falk went too far. Controversial U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice tweeted Outraged by Richard Falks highly offensive Boston comments. Someone who spews such vitriol has no place at the UN. Past time for him to go. This isnt the first time Falk has been denounced by the Obama administration for anti-Semitism. Anne Bayefsky director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust has documented past instances where the administration has admonished Falk.
