In his "Human Rights Newsletter" circulated today, portions of which are
transmitted below, my distinguished recipient Mazin Qumsiyeh, a
professor at Bethlehem University who has previously taught at Duke and
Yale universities, considers both yesterday's UN Security Council vote
and last week's four-hour interrogation at Toronto Airport of my old
friend and distinguished recipient Richard Falk, who was told he was
suspected of posing "a national security threat to Canada."

On day 771 of the ongoing genocide, Francesca Albanese (UN Rapporteur on
Human Rights) noted: "Genocide survivors living in rain-flooded tents.
Images of tortured detainees spreading online. Apartheid Israel is still
selling weapons worldwide, even in Europe, where conferences on Palestine
are cancelled. If this doesn’t nauseate us, what will?" Here is something to
match: a body of a so-called "United Nations" passes a resolution that
ignores genocide and ignores international law and appoints the
narsiccistic leadership of the US regime (which is engaged in this
genocide) to oversee a body to disarm Palestinian resistance. It is like
Fascist Italy overseeing a body to disarm the remaining resisters in the
Warsaw ghetto that the Nazis could not kill.
By contrast, 95 year old Jewish international law expert Richard Falk is
targeted on his way to a tribunal in Canada:
