Smearing Richard Falk
Amazing for its viciousness and rank dishonesty is the campaign
waged against UN special rapporteur for human rights in occupied
Palestine Richard Falk for making some pretty straightforward “blowback”
points in the aftermath of the Boston terrorist attack. Falk’s piece
is
here;
written before the perpetrators were discovered, it notes chiefly the
relative calm compared to 9/11, and the greater reflectiveness of many
of the callers to PBS and other venues, who noted (as have several other
commentators) that many innocents are also victims of American
violence. Falk also laments what he perceives as Obama’s apparent
obeisance to Israel and fears a war with Iran. Falk is a lucid and often
deep thinker, but this was not an unusual piece.
