In Praise of UN Rights Rapporteur Richard Falk

Back in 2009 Obama went to Cairo and made a speech which suggested that a rethinking of American relations with the Muslim world and the Middle East in particular was in order.

(LONDON) - Shortly after the 15 April 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University and United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, published an analysis of the episode.

Alan Hart`s Farewell

I have been in this game a mere 8 years – nothing compared to Alan Hart’s great commitment – and I'll not leave the battlefield just yet.

(LONDON) - I join everyone else in saluting Alan Hart. He has given half a lifetime - and his considerable professional skills - to the Palestinian struggle. Now he's calling it a day.

I find the news indescribably sad, but at the same time it should serve as a wake-up call to Palestinians...

(BEIRUT) - “This is one damn fine idea, what took us so long to see a simple solution that was right in front of our eyes for Christ’s sake”, said Senator John McCain
