Israel on Sunday refused to grant entry into the county to Richard Falk, who traveled from Geneva to observe Israeli human rights violations in PA (Palestinian Authority) areas. He was not permitted to enter the country and was turned around at Ben-Gurion International Airport. The senior UN official was turned around and sent back to Geneva on Monday.
Falk recently compared Israel’s actions in PA areas to Nazi atrocities during World War II. Foreign Ministry officials explained that the decision was made due to his “distorted” mission statement, which was obviously one-sided against Israel from the get-go.
Ministry spokesman Yigal Plamor questioned why Falk’s mandate did not include reporting on continued attacks against southern Israeli civilians by the PA administration in Gaza, only to document wrongdoing by Israel.

Great decision!
Kudos! The UN is completly useless they really should be closed.
Unfortunately, this is not publized. That someone that comes with slanted sides cannot be a judge. That is the first rule set down in VAyakra. A judge must be totally impartial, if not, must be disqualified. The UN in it’s entirety is upside own.
Israel is finally standing up for itself. I wonder how long this will last…
Finally Israel has issued a NO, congrats!!!
