Lionizing Francesca Albanese

"Israel is responsible for one of the cruellest genocides in modern history."

"Colonial endeavours and associated genocides have historically been driven and enabled by the corporate sector."

"Commercial interests have contributed to the dispossession of Indigenous people of their lands -- a mode of domination known as 'colonial racial capitalism'."

"This is a political economy that was always eliminatory and has turned into genocidal mode."

"This is a necessary step to end the genocide and dismantle the global system that has allowed it." 

Francesca Albanese, United Nations special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories 

 

"[Her] biased and malicious activities [have long made her unfit for service as a special rapporteur with the United Nations]."

"[Albanese has been busy] writing threatening letters to dozens of entities worldwide, including major American companies across finance, technology, defence, energy, and hospitality, making extreme and unfounded accusations and recommending the ICC [International Criminal Court] pursue investigations and prosecutions of these companies and their executives."

"We will not tolerate these campaigns of political and economic warfare, which threaten our national interests and sovereignty."

"Albanese has spewed  unabashed antisemitism, expressed support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel, and the West."

Francesca Albanese's full-blown Critical Race Theory embrace in lock-step with her vile inbred brand of antisemitism pretty well sums up and exemplifies both behind-the-scenes and the upfront stand of the United Nations and its body of member-states weighed heavily in favour of the agenda of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, in concert with the non-aligned bloc of nations who unfailingly vote for any move to censure Israel within the general assembly of the international group. Her outright reviling of the State of Israel, demonizing it at every opportunity lays bare the level of Jew-hate that has become ever more blatant and demeaning of civilized societies.

 

The provocations that spew from the mouth of this rapporteur are heard to great acclaim in the UN's general body, despite that as a global union purportedly in support of universal peace and harmony, in favour of human rights and respect for sovereignty of all its member-states, can countenance and approve of one tiny country re-established on its own historical ancestral territory as a democratic, inclusive nation tolerant of other religions and ethnic groups with full citizenship in the country yet can be vilified and sanctioned repeatedly while dictatorial regimes that oppress their citizens and threaten their neighbours are never sanctioned for their rejection of human rights.

 

Ms. Albanese issued a report in July: Forever-Occupation, genocide, and profit. Evidently one too many irritants for the Trump government in Washington, which has now sanctioned her. Her demand for "accountability for corporate entities and their executives at both the domestic and international levels" holds capitalism to account for the war being waged in Gaza by Israel against Hamas following the October 7, 2023 mass invasion of southern Israel by Palestinian terrorists on a vicious rampage of organized rape and savagery that resulted in the death of 1,200 people, the abduction into Gaza as hostages of another 250 Israeli children, women, elderly and foreign farm workers.

 

Alhough Albanese cited genocide no fewer than 59 instances in her report, mention of Palestinian terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine merited no mention whatever, much less the role they have played in conducting countless suicide attacks against Israelis, mounting organized Intifadas, threatening Israel's extermination and in the process ensuring that peace could never be achieved between the Jewish state and its near neighbours who foment demonizing propaganda to convince sympathetic Western observers of Palestinian victimhood.

 

The popular myth that Palestinians want a 'state of their own', and that once granted that state all would be well, has been dashed time and again when Palestinian leaders have outright refused conciliatory offers from Israel that would establish a Palestinian state in exchange for recognition of Israel's right to exist. What the Palestinians do want is the erasure of Israel and the entire region -- Israel, Gaza and the West Bank to be handed to the Palestinians 'from the river to the sea'. And until that occurs Palestinians have pledged to continue their violent campaigns against peace with Israel.

 

Although the Albanese report refers continually to Post-October 2023, no mention whatever is made of October 7, 2023, that infamous date of Palestinian terrorists flooding into Israel on their mission of planned-and-executed mass sadistic cruelty. Instead she continues to link Israel with Fascist Germany, the perpetrators of the WWII Holocaust with its campaign to murder all of Europe's Jewish population, and which succeeded to the degree that six-million Jewish children, women and men of all ages died in the most gruesome circumstances of a state-organized death machine.

 

As for the United Nations' code of conduct for special rapporteurs -- that they uphold the highest standards of "probity, impartiality equity, honesty and good faith" -- it obviously was never meant to apply to its views and conduct with respect to Israel alone of all the UN's 193 member-nations. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- Francesca Albanese's shameful conduct, the United Nations saw nothing amiss in re-appointing her to a second three-year term as special rapporteur. 

 

She certainly has her supporters who wholeheartedly agree with all the sinister motivations and actions she attributes to Israel. Those whose sympathies lie strictly with solidarity with the Palestinians, who portray themselves as victims, forcefully exiled from their traditional heritage land, which they just happened to migrate to in the last century in a search for prospects for prosperity than what would accrue to them in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. And where they declared themselves not an assortment of Arabs from the outer region, but 'Palestinians' when that designation was used during the Roman era to denote the Jewish population.

 

Her supporters in Ireland, Italy and in Canada -- through the auspices of Canada's New Democratic Party -- have nominated Albanese for the Nobel Peace Prize, lauding her commitment to peace and freedom as pertains Palestinians, pointedly excluding Jews. And a Change.org petition has been announced to gather signatures for her Nobel prize nomination. All stops out to achieve recognition for her noble work and the reward it obviously merits.

 

 

 

"As a former UN official, as the Special Envoy for Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, and as a Canadian, I am horrified to see a United Nations Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, engage in Holocaust distortion and inversion."

Deborah Lyons, Canadian Special Envoy for Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism 

 

"Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, is the perfect recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize."

"It is time to recognise her work as the UN special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, and her tremendous and courageous work to highlight the destruction of Gaza by Israel. At a time when politicians in Europe and America are failing to step up to the plate for peace, Albanese continues to work in a hostile international environment to bring an end to the war in Gaza, to bring about a lasting peace and to save lives in Palestine."

"Albanese stands as a counterweight to the hypocrisy of politicians–especially in Europe and the United States–from whom one would expect efforts to end the carnage in Gaza and the West Bank, rather than the prevailing support, tolerance, or wilful ignorance of Israeli war crimes."
