Antisemite Francesca Albanese Slammed Over Repeated Anti-Israel Rhetoric

October 16, 2024

The World Jewish Congress slammed UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese on Tuesday for repeatedly engaging in Holocaust inversion by comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.

“The constant statements made by [Albanese] comparing Israel to Nazi Germany are not only deeply offensive, but a gross distortion of history,” the WJC wrote on X/Twitter.

The statement followed a post that Albanese made to the platform on Monday, where she wrote, “Our collective obliviousness to what led, 100 years ago, to the Third Reich’s expansionism and the genocide of people not in conformity with the “pure race” is asinine. And it is leading to the commission of yet another genocide, yet another regional war and potentially yet another global one.”

In response to a January 21 post on X by anti-Israel figure Mohammed El-Kurd, where the Palestinian activist claimed that Zionism was colonial and responsible for the “genocide” in Gaza, Albanese replied that her understanding of anti-Palestinian racism was shaped by the historical European racism toward Jews that led to the Holocaust.

In December, Albanese wrote that the Holocaust should have taught Europeans that genocide starts with dehumanization and that if “Israel’s current attack [against] Palestinians [doesn’t] prompt our strong reaction, the darkest page of our recent history has taught us nothing.”

“Such speech by officials not only undermines the [UN]’s integrity but also violates the principles on which it was established—principles born from the Nazi attempt to destroy the Jewish people,” the WJC continued. It’s imperative the UN ensures its platforms are not hijacked to spread hatred and fuel division. Accountability is needed now.”

The day after Albanese’s Monday post implying Israel was conducting a genocide of people who did not conform to its idea of a “pure race,” the UN special rapporteur commented on Sky News headline on the four IDF soldiers killed in a Hezbollah drone attack, all of whom were 19 years old.

“Is @SkyNews accusing Israel of using child soldiers?” Albanese wrote in response to a headline dubbing the four as “teenage victims.”
