FINNISH STATE BROADCASTER YLE QUOTES UN’s ANTI-ISRAEL EXTREMIST RICHARD FALK AS EXPERT ON ISRAEL, FAILS TO MENTION EU SLAMMED HIM FOR BIAS AND INACCURACIES…….

By KGS10 years ago3

YLE sucks.

The galling thing is, not just the sub-standard, biased reporting, but the fact that we are forced to shell out money for this bastion of Marxist mediocrity yearly, paying fat salaries for boneheaded faux journalism.

H/T: Vasarahammer, Matti Nevalainen reminds us what the EU did in a rare moment of clarity:

EU slams Falk’s Israel report as biased at UNHRC

The European Union took a strong stand against United Nations Human Rights Council special rapporteur Richard Falk, denouncing as inaccurate and biased a report against Israel which he delivered to the body in Geneva on Monday.

“The EU continues to regret the unbalanced mandate of theSpecial Rapporteur and is also concerned that parts of the report include political considerations.

NOTE: Only half rate news organization with extreme bias inclinations, would use this UN hack as an ”expert” voice on anything.

UN reporter: Israel’s Palestinian policy of apartheid

American Professor Richard Falk calls for a halt Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories, the purchase of products.

Israel’s policy in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is virtually the same as the systematic racial segregation and apartheid, in fact, in the expropriation of Palestinian countries, says the UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk. He calls the Jewish expansion of East Jerusalem, the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

Falk will hand over his final report to the UN Human Rights Council at its meeting next month. In the report, he recommends that the Council will take Israel’s Palestinian policy to the international courts for investigation.

More here in Finnish if you can stomach it.

A bastion of boneheaded marxist mediocrity raking in inflated salaries at the tax payers expense. Describes perfectly the clueless dopes employed by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) who provide us day in and day out biased leftwing reporting on all political and current affairs issues.

The ABC have excellent cultural and sporting programs but whenever a topic comes up that is of a political nature, they will bash the Conservatives and grovel at the feet of the Greens.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
