Francesca Albanese: «Israël commet un génocide, il faut cesser de le traiter comme un État normal»
#FrancescaAlbanese, rapporteuse spéciale des Nations unies pour les territoires palestiniens, a vu son mandat renouvelé pour trois ans le 4 avril malgré une campagne très violente contre elle. Elle assure à Mediapart qu’elle continuera de parler haut et fort.
Good news: Francesca Albanese's mandate as Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories (on the United Nations Human Rights Council) was automatically renewed (tacitly as they say, for three years); there was no vote.

American Jews really prefer Jewish Foyer not Jewish Lobby. Occasionally, Jewish Vestibule.
"An outspoken critic of #Israel who has said that the #US is “subjugated by the #Jewish lobby” was reappointed as the #UnitedNations’ Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied #Palestinian Territories.
#FrancescaAlbanese will continue until 2028 after she was confirmed during a United Nations #HumanRights Council (UNHRC) session in Geneva on Friday."

Report: UN backs Francesca Albanese’s reappointment
"The United Nations Human Rights Council has voted to extend Francesca Albanese’s mandate as Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories for another three years."
The decision comes in spite of a coordinated campaign to remove her from her post, particularly by the US.

Report: "US Moves to Block Francesca Albanese's Reappointment, Citing Antisemitism Allegations"
Albanese's position as UN Special Rapporteur is due for renewal this week, & the US has written to Secretary General Antonio Guterres to demand non-renewal.
"We condemn her virulent antisemitism, which demonizes Israel & supports Hamas. She has clearly violated the UN’s code of conduct & is unfit for her role."
Bravo!

"... the Mafia was not just a criminal endeavour committed by street thugs, or ordinary criminals. It was a state within the state, that could only thrive because of a commonality and intersectionality of interests between the power, the politics, and the financial-economic system. [Falcone and Borsellino] had exposed this, and they had been isolated, silenced, smeared. Eventually they were killed"

Francesca Albanese on why the UN isn't working
While the General Assembly has changed since the UN's inception, the Security Council hasn't.
The UN was formed by and for the racist colonial powers.

Brilliant response by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese when Channel4 News host, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, asks her a question that includes the phrase "Israel says" 
Forget sports and Hollywood celebrities, this is the person that little girls and boys should aspire to idolize.
"If you were in #Gaza with your family Krishnan, you would be very happy to have someone like me taking that risk for you."
