UN calls for boycott of U.S. companies doing business in Israel
October 25, 2012
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."

He’s worried about the answer too. And again, I ask the question: Will tea partiers call for offsets to pay for […]

Scandals, schmandals: @WhiteHouse claims Obama is ‘all smiles'
May 20, 2013 06:22 PM
Or ever. When Jay Carney said this afternoon that senior White House staffers kept bad news from the president, maybe he was telling the truth! We kid, of course, but that would certainly explain this offering from the White House Twitter account, sent out during Carney’s disastrous press briefing: All smiles in the Oval Office. […]
