Pro-Hamas UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese appeared before the United Nations to tell terrible lies about Israel. Condemned for Holocaust distortion and antisemitism last year by France, Germany, Canada and the U.S., she now says “one people was enriched” by “erasing” Palestinians. Terrorist regimes embraced her. Then UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer took the floor:
• Francesca Albanese: “One people enriched, one people erased…”
• Arab League embraces her
• PLO rep says those who support Israel are the “Antisemites”
• Venezuela accuses US & Europe of acting “like Hitler”
• Qatar‘s infamous Ambassador of Hate Hend al-Muftah embraced Albanese and attacked Israel
• Islamic Regime in Iran embraces Albanese
UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer:
Mr. President, is today’s report balanced? Let us consider.
Israel is accused of genocide - 68 times.
Now, on October 7th the world saw Hamas start a war by invading Israel, firing thousands of rockets, massacring 1200 people, including families and little children in their homes. Hamas pledged to do it again. Israel has been fighting a just war against a terrorist army, which cynically embeds itself among civilians.
Ms. Albanese, war is not genocide. But in your report, there’s no war at all. It’s only about Israel.
We ask:
Why does your report never mention the October 7th invasion and massacre, or the word Hamas, even once?
Why does your report never once mention Hezbollah? On October 8th , joining Hamas’ war, they began firing thousands of missiles at Israel.
Why does your report never once mention the Islamic Republic of Iran, which armed and trained its proxies, and orchestrated the attacks? Which itself fired hundreds of missiles at Israel?
They all openly call for genocide against the Israeli people. Why didn’t you find reason to mention them once?
Distinguished delegates, this report is an inversion: silence on aggressors openly pursuing genocide, and demonization for a democracy defending its people from a multi-front war.
Ms. Albanese, do you now understand why a Swiss university canceled your panel this week, for lack of balance?
Mr. President, on April 1st, you released the report of the UN investigation which found the Rapporteur’s trip in Australia and New Zealand was indeed funded by “external groups.” One of was AFOPA, which openly praised Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar.
Ms. Albanese, will you release the documents on who else paid for your trip, and how much?
