'Colonialism, apartheid and ethnic cleansing': UN rapporteur on Palestine blasts Israel — RT News

 Falk, an ethnic Jewish expert in international
law and professor emeritus at Princeton University, told journalists
that Israeli policies have “unacceptable characteristics of colonialism,
apartheid and ethnic cleansing.” “Every increment of
enlarging the settlements, or every incident of house demolition is a
way of worsening the situation confronting the Palestinian people and
reducing what prospects they might have as the outcome of supposed peace
negotiations,” the UN Special Rapporteur said.
