More outrageous UN anti-Semitism: High-level official says Israel to blame for Palestinians murdering Jews
A Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem plowed his car into a busy Jerusalem bus stop Friday, killing three Israelis, including 6- and 8-year-old brothers. The response from Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur for the Palestinians: crickets.
Perhaps that's for the best. The day before, Albanese blamed Israel for last month's Palestinian terrorist attack outside a Jerusalem synagogue that left six Jews and one Ukrainian national dead.
In a tweet Thursday, Albanese heaped praise on Barcelona's city council for falsely labeling Israel an apartheid state — a classic example of anti-Semitism by declaring the world's only Jewish state to be a racist endeavor. A Twitter user replied by asking her if she had addressed a murder of Jews, citing a 14-year-old killed in the synagogue attack and a shooting carried out by a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist the following morning that injured two Jews. Albanese responded that she had — by condemning Israel.
She asserted that the "brutal colonial occupation Israel maintains over the Palestinians (an apartheid regime by default) continues to traumatize millions of people, pushing them into hopelessness & despair, including kids." Truly a master class in victim-blaming. Never mind that Palestinians have been murdering Jews since long before Israel controlled the West Bank.
This is far from Albanese's first anti-Semitic controversy. In December, a review of her social media history revealed several virulent comments: She'd described the United States as "subjugated by the Jewish lobby" and claimed that the "Israeli lobby," directed by "Israel's greed," skewed media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Top US officials condemned these remarks as anti-Semitic.
