Francesca Albanese
A source familiar with the Israeli mission to the United Nations wasn’t aware of the U.N. agency offering the course to officials at the global body.
“Tokenizing a fringe Jewish sect” that is “guilty of pushing antisemitic tropes” proves the U.N. adviser doesn’t care about Jewish well-being, stated the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
Francesca Albanese “is nothing but a political activist who abuses an already discriminatory U.N. mandate,” stated the Israeli mission to the United Nations in Geneva.
“We have an obligation as the host country for the United Nations,” Matthew Miller, the U.S. State Department spokesman told JNS, “to grant visas to any number of individuals with views with which we do not agree.”
Francesca Albanese “must be immediately removed from her post if the U.N. is to salvage the modicum of its integrity that still remains,” said William Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
The Israeli mission in Geneva stated that Francesca Albanese’s “attitude, including defending and justifying Hamas’s actions, is a constant stain on the United Nations.”
The latest initiative by UN Watch insists that “the corrupt and antisemitic U.N. rapporteur has to go.”
“It is inconceivable that Francesca Albanese is still allowed to use the U.N. as a shield to spread antisemitism,” stated the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
The U.N. special rapporteur agreed with an “undeniably antisemitic” message, says the Combat Antisemitism Movement.
The controversial U.N. rapporteur’s visit to Australia and New Zealand included raising funds for a Palestinian lobby group and lobbying sovereign wealth fund to divest from Israel.
The committee investigating the special rapporteur denounced Francesca Albanese’s accusers in May from the very charges it is now reviewing.
Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur for the Palestinians, didn’t say whether Hamas-supporting groups paid for her trips to Australia and New Zealand.
