Haaretz's @spungin interviews ex-UN official Richard Falk at length but fails to ask him why UN chief Ban Ki-moon condemned him for spreading 9/11 conspiracy theories, why UK thrice condemned him for antisemitism or why he wrote the ignominious 1979 NYT op-ed "Trusting Khomeini."

Richard Falk is knowledgeable, articulate, experienced & certifiably nuts.
His life has been marked by a peculiar attraction to anti-Western terrorists and antisemites.
Some of this was documented in our 2013 draft UN resolution calling to remove him: undocs.org/en/A/HRC/23/NG…

Haaretz's @spungin might have asked Falk about his extraordinary and unprecedented condemnation by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for spreading 9/11 conspiracy theories as reported by...Haaretz: haaretz.com/1.5112878

One of the UK's condemnations of Richard Falk was for his endorsement of the antisemitic book “The Wandering Who”—which openly promotes "contempt" for Jews and was denounced as racist even by Electronic Intifada founder Ali Abunimah & other Arab activists.

Falk was so extreme that even Human Rights Watch felt obliged to distance itself from him, removing Falk from the
organization’s local Santa Barbara committee, on which he and his wife Hilal Elver had been active and hosted HRW meetings at their home.
