The Washington Free Beacon has obtained
a report soon to be released by the United Nations that calls for an
international campaign of legal attacks and economic warfare on a group
of American companies that do business in Israel, including Hewlett-Packard, Caterpillar Inc., and Motorola Solutions Inc.
The Human Rights Council (HRC), a body dominated by Islamic countries
and known for its hostility to, and heavy focus on, the Jewish State,
issued the report. The George W. Bush administration refused to
participate in the HRC, but President Barack Obama joined it soon after
taking office. Members of the HRC include infamous human rights abusers such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Libya, China, and Cuba.
The Obama-approved body maintains a "Special Rapporteur on the
situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories [sic]." The
current rapporteur is American college professor Richard Falk, a 9/11
"truther" who once posted an anti-Semitic cartoon on his personal blog.
In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, the
Anti-Defamation League's Abraham Foxman blasted the report and the HRC's
special rapporteur: "We believe you should have prevented the
Secretariat from being a party to Mr. Falk's anti-Israel agenda. Mr.
Falk's entire tenure as Special Rapporteur has served to undermine the
credibility of the institution of the United Nations."
