Author of anti-Israel UN report is mixed up in antisemitic FB groups

Screenshot showing Richard Falk is a member of the Facebook group "Shoah"
"Richard Falk, an American professor who has held multiple positions at the United Nations which he has in the past notoriously used to propel an anti-Israel agenda, was discovered to be a member of an antisemitic hate group on Facebook.

Sources close to The Jerusalem Post discovered Falk is one of 5,408 members of 'Shoah,' the Facebook group of an organization by the same name. The British group began operating in 2011 with the aim of ending 'Zio-Nazi oppression' and the 'environmental destruction of Palestine.'

Although the complete members list and the true total number of members is visible only to accepted members, The Jerusalem Post obtained a screenshot of Falk's membership as of Sunday, July 30, 2017:

The Shoah Facebook group has spread severely anti-Israel and antisemitic imagery, often depicting Israel and global Jewry as one and the same:...

Falk told the Post that he left the group... Falk did indeed leave the group, however, sources informed The Jerusalem Post that he was still a member of a closed Facebook group that runs in parallel to the original group, entitled 'Shoah friends.'...

The 'Shoah Friends' group has similarly antisemitic, anti-Israel content...Membership in Shoah and Shoah Friends is consistent with Falk's other social media behavior. With the same public profile, he is a member of other groups such as 'Third Intifada of Palestine' and 'Suzanne Vega: don't play for apartheid Israel.'..."
