The UN Sinks Further into the Anti-Israeli Muck
(National Review) Elliott Abrams - For more than 20 years, the UN Human Rights Council has had a dedicated "Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967." The incumbent Israel-Hater-in-Chief was Richard Falk, who wanted U.S. officials prosecuted as war criminals for deposing Saddam Hussein. His replacement must now be chosen. One candidate is a Canadian named Michael Lynk, who plays a leadership role in numerous Arab lobby groups that call to prosecute Israel for alleged war crimes. The top candidate is Penny Green, a British criminologist who has urged that the UK de-list Hamas as a terrorist group. The writer is senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
