Note
Terrorist sympathizer and UN Human Rights Council expert Richard Falk has been having busy week in the Hezbollah stronghold of Beirut, following his obscene remarks on the Boston terror attacks. On Thursday of last week he delivered the annual Constantine Zurayk Lecture at the American University of Beirut. He entitled his speech "Rethinking the Future of Palestine: Beyond the Two State Consensus," and argued against the two-state solution for ending the Palestinian Arab-Israeli conflict because at this moment in time it is "obsolete." Iranian TV has now posted a video about Falk's performance. Similar to the justifications he made for "resistance" at the time of the Boston terror attacks, Press TV reports that Falk "praised the resistance of the Palestinian people, considering it as the only means to address their suffering....Dr. Falk argued that...the only way to address the ordeal of the Israeli occupation is through global mobilization of support for the resistance...." In addition to direct support for terrorism – aka "resistance" – Falk told the reporter: "Israel can't live in peace and security with its neighbors...It is a pariah state endangering the Middle East...and the U.S. is an accomplice." Zurayk was a well-known Arab nationalist who spent his career arguing how the battle against Israel can be won and giving directions for "the road to final and complete victory." He is heralded for coining the term "al-nakba" – the now entrenched reference to the creation of the state of Israel as a "catastrophe." Some call him the grand-daddy of the insidious political plan of "catastrophology." It is clear why Falk would be the recipient of the Zurayk honor.
