UN ‘Special Rappoteur’ Justifies October 7 Terror Attack; Israel Wants Her Fired

The United Nations’ “Special Rapporteur” on human rights for Palestinians justified the October 7 terror assault on Saturday, saying that it was a response to Israeli oppression.

In a submit on X, previously referred to as Twitter, Francesca Albanese objected to French President Emmanuel Macron expressing sympathy for the victims. She wrote (translated from French by Google): “The ‘greatest anti-Semitic massacre of our century’? No, Mr. @EmmanuelMacron. The victims of 7/10 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in response to Israel’s oppression. France & the international community did nothing to prevent it. My respects to the victims.”

Le bloodbath du 7 octobre est le plus grand bloodbath antisémite du 21e siècle. Le contester est une faute. Sembler le justifier, en y mêlant le nom des Nations Unies, est une honte.

Ces propos sont d’autant plus scandaleux que la lutte contre l’antisémitisme et toutes les formes… https://t.co/IGOfEP5Q0q

As the Times of Israel noted, Israel’s overseas minister, Israel Katz, known as for Albanese to be fired:

The @UN‘s recent statement to the French President, framing the October 7th massacre as a reaction to ‘Israeli oppression’ relatively than an act of anti-Jewish hatred, is deeply troubling. I name on Secretary-General @antonioguterres to fireside @FranceskAlbs instantly. The time of… https://t.co/PTItZRTJNG

As Breitbart News has reported, Albanese has a protracted historical past of antisemitic statements, in addition to radical anti-Israel statements.
