Francesca Albanese, a UN investigator into Israel with a history of antisemitism and vitriol against the Jewish state, can remain in office until 2028 despite efforts by US and European lawmakers and Jewish groups to dislodge her, a special session of the UN Human Rights Council confirmed on Friday

Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, has been condemned by Jewish groups, Israel, the US, Canada, France, Germany and others.

Lawmakers in the US, France, the UK and the Netherlands, and leading US Jewish groups, came out against her appointment in recent weeks.

    What has she done that is antisemitic? When reading about her it just says she opposes Israel’s occupation

    Saying that someone as esteemed as Francesca Albanese has “a history of antisemitism” is absolute slander and defamation of character.

    I really hope Albanese gets the protection she will need, fascist governments like to kill people wherever they are and no matter who they are. And now she got both USA and Israel after her.

    The “Times of Israel” is such a disgusting propaganda paper too…
