Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur for Palestinian rights with a long history of anti-Israel comments, shared and agreed with a post on social media that likens Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.

“This is precisely what I was thinking today,” she wrote in response to the post.

The Combat Antisemitism Movement replied that “this is an undeniably antisemitic comparison.”

The U.N. special rapporteur is “clearly unfit” and should be fired, the group said.
