Francesca Albanese is the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Human Rights In the Occupied Palestinian Territories. It’s the perfect job for her, because she is a deep-dyed antisemite, who was accusing Israel of “war crimes ”and “genocide” even before the war in Gaza. An early adopter, you might say. Albanese is also a grifter, who has hidden payments made to her by pro-Hamas groups, eager to show their appreciation for her support for the terror group. More on Albanese can be found here: “Watchdog probe finds Albanese lied about funding sources for Australia, NZ visits,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, May
The UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories accepted around $20,000 in payment from pro-Hamas groups to fund her trips to Australia and New Zealand in late 2023, as revealed by UN Watch on Wednesday.
Francesca Albanese’s mandate was renewed last month despite extensive opposition from the US, Israel, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Hungary. When asked about her trip to Australia in November 2023, Albanese said it was funded by the UN. In July, she said she had nothing to hide and welcomed an inquiry into the matter.
However, the UN Watch NGO revealed that her trip was funded by several groups, including the Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFPA), Free Palestine Melbourne, Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN), and Palestinian Christians in Australia.
AFPA publicly announced on its website that it paid for Albanese’s visit to Australia….
In other words, when first asked who had paid for her trip in November 2023, she flat-out lied, claiming the UN had funded it. She no doubt thought that the UN would confirm her lie. Perhaps she thought she was so useful to the UN as a tireless promoter of anti-Israel animus that the organization would vouch for her story. After all, why would someone like UN Director-General Antonio Guterres, who insists that Israel has committed “war crimes,” want to be forced to fire someone like Francesca Albanese, who is so accommodating, so much on the same wave length as Guterres, in her hatred of the Jewish state?
“Albanese has compounded her misconduct, accepting funding from Hamas-supporting organizations and then lying by claiming the UN paid for her trip,” said UN Watch director Hillel Neuer. “She continuously abuses her position at the UN to spread antisemitic rhetoric and amplify Hamas propaganda through social media, TV, and her false reports.”
UN Watch filed complaint regarding trip’s funding
UN Watch filed a complaint regarding the funding for the trip, after which the UN secretariat referred the matter to the special rapporteurs’ Coordination Committee. The committee, according to UN Watch, is primarily comprised of Albanese’s allies, such as Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to health, from South Africa, who has claimed Israelis are “barbaric, evil, and deserving of hell on earth.”
Well, that should be quite a useless investigation of Frederica Albanese, who will be cleared of all charges by her friends and fellow antisemites on the committee. These include Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN special rapporteur on the right to health, who — in case you were thinking he might actually be studiedly neutral, has described Israelis as “barbaric, evil, and deserving of hell on earth.” Dr. Mofokeng, go ahead, tell us what you really think.
In short, the UN’s own investigation into Francesca Albanese’s acceptance of $20,000 from Hamas-linked groups will be a farce.
Additionally, the United States mission to the UN sent a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres stating that it opposed the renewal of her role due to her “virulent antisemitism, which demonizes Israel and supports Hamas.”
Despite the committee finding that Albanese did lie about her funders and the US opposition, her mandate was nevertheless renewed. According to UN Watch, the committee also found that Albanese expressed antisemitic views on social media but, despite this, insisted she “is not antisemitic.”…
This is the logic of Alice In Wonderland, Albanese expressed antisemitic views on social media but, the committee says, “she is not antisemitic.” The committee investigating who paid the $20,000 to pay for her trip to Australia and New Zealand should not stop there, but find out how many other trips she has taken that may have been financed by Hamas supporters, or Hamas itself, or Iran, or Qatar. And who has been paying a salary to Francesca Albanese all these years, given that she receives no salary from the UN itself? Isn’t anyone interested in finding out? Isn’t it just possible that she has been on the take — the recipient of large sums from grateful Arabs and Muslims — all this time?
What does it take to get this horror fired? She accuses the IDF of using dogs to rape Palestinians — a charge so preposterous that even the Palestinian spokesmen themselves have not made it, and yet she still keeps her lofty position, as the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, is intolerable.
In February 2024, she said the October 7 massacre was a “reaction to Israel’s oppression” and called Gaza “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century.”
What “oppression” did Palestinians in Gaza suffer before October 7? There had not been a single Israeli to “oppress” the Gazans for two decades; all the Israelis had pulled out of the Strip in 2005. As for this “most shameful concentration camp” canard, before October 7, 19,000 Gazans entered Israel every day to work, receiving wages three to four times what they would have earned in Gaza, and had the October 7 atrocities not occurred, the government of Israel was planning to increase the number of Gazans allowed in to work. Tens of thousands of Gazans before that date also entered Israel every day to conduct business. And Gazans were also able to move out of that so-called “concentration camp” by going to Egypt through the Rafah Border Crossing. None of this has made the slightest impression on the hate-filled Francesca Albanese.
What can be done about Francesca Albanese? First, a committee made up not of her friends, but of an ad hoc group of lawyers and accountants, should be brought in by the U.N. to examine the sources of Albanese’s support: who has been paying her a salary, who has been providing money for her luxury travel around the world? The US should threaten to withhold payments to the UN if it does not agree to allow such an investigation. And once that investigation is complete, Albanese should be fired, because her lying about the $20,000 she was given by Hamas-linked groups in Australia is reason enough. No further scandal is needed. Don’t worry about her. She can always find work as the UN correspondent for Al Jazeera.
There are no negative consequences for hating Jews. However, there seems to be a financial upside to being an anti-Semite. Albanese is just an exemplar of these truisms.
Good one Hugh !!!!!
with all the hoopla from those who decry anti semitism i have yet not seen any real effort to stamp it out only lip service . plenty of hand wringing and woe is us because there is no place for hate drivel and yet it continues with useless idiots like miss albanese being given a plum job and air time . she should be charged with hate speech and facilitating the murder of the couple in dc . but because no one is serious about the threat to jews it will continue .
In the case of Francesca Albanese and Antonio Guterres ,the UN secretary-general,they are both correct when they say that the blockade of all food,medicine and water into Gaza,which
has 2 million people,
since MARCH 2, more than 2 and a half months,
is a war crime, a crime against humanity. Evil,it is even worse than the Nazi blockade of the Warsaw ghetto during WW II. There they allowed a limited amount of food to enter. As a result
of the 500,000 Jews there, 100,000 starved to death.
Some “genocide”. Gaza has the eighth higest obesity rate in the world. In a world where every continent (except Africa) now has sub replacement fertility, Gaza’s population grew by 2.5% last year. Hamas built command centers in “hospitals” and UNRWA “schools”. Before October 7th there was a popular clothing store in Gaza called “Hitler 2”. The proprietor was interviewed and admitted he chose the name “because Hitler killed the most Jews”. October 7th would have been mutlpled thousands of times if the “Palestinians” (a fake nationality invented by Nasser and the KGB) had their way. They’re not deserving of the slightest sympathy. Their talk of “genocide” is all projection. I’m glad that 75 years of Arabs atempting to destroy Israel has been an abject failure
45% of the 2 million in Gaza are children 13 years old and younger.
Of course they deserve sympathy.The mantra ”there are no innocents in Gaza”
is nonsense.
Plus those 14 years old,15 and 16,and you get around 48% of the population.
To think otherwise is to fall into the moral corruption warned by YESHAYAHU LEIBOWITZ (1903-1994).
He was a Conservative Israeli intellectual,Orthodox Jew and Zionist.
He was editor of the ”Encyclopaedia Hebraica ”,which is in Hebrew.
In a 1968 essay ”The Territories” he warned of that moral corruption and invented the term ”judeo-nazi”.
Jewish historian and philosopher of science YEHUDA ELKANA ,of Hungary,and
an AUSCHWITZ survivor, in 1988, said the tendency in Israel to see threats as existential and all opponents as antisemites would lead to Nazi-like behavior by Jews.
The fall of Israel is linked to the fall of the US,due to Trump.What was he thinking of when he imposed a 145% import tax,to be paid by American consumers ,on China?
1. 65% of Americans live PAYCHECK to paycheck, and also have less than $500 saved.
2. WALLMART is the world’s biggest retailer,and the biggest one in the US.It sells food and also all kinds of other articles. And it has the CHEAPEST prices.
Cheaper than Target,than Costco,also retailers.
3. 70% of all products in Wallmart are from CHINA.
4. And every WEEK 250 million buy at Wallmart. 90% of Americans live 10 min away from Wallmart. Wallmart is the biggest PRIVATE company in the US,with more than
1.5 million employees. There are 330 million Americans.
The 65% can not afford to pay almost TWO and a HALF more for 70% of what they buy in Wallmart.
Also APPLE: 50% of its SALES are CELLPHONES.It is moving out of China to India.Can it make cellphones in the US? Yes. Today the average price of any cellphone in the US is $700.
The cheapest version is $500,the most expensive is $1,000.
If Apple moved to the US,the average cellphone price would be what? $1000?
$ 1,500? $ 2,000?
No. It would be $3,000.
What is Walmart’s PROFIT on its Chinese goods?
It is 25%.
The tariff is 30%,down from 145%,for the time.
Trump wants Walmart to ”eat its tariffs”,meaning not charge 30% more. That would make Walmart lose 5% for 70% of its sales.
In time,it would go BANKRUPT.
To stay in business by not charging 30% more it would have to FIRE many employees, close many stores.
The same for Target,Costco and the many little stores that sell Chinese products.
VIETNAM and other nations by themselves,the tariff on their products is 10%,can not totally replace the Chinese products, UNLESS they
MASSIVELY buy from China,
change the packaging,
and ship to the US. So Chinese products would still reach the US.
The latest news is MICROSOFT , American company that makes computer software and video games created by BILL GATES in 1975
will FIRE 6,000 employees because of the tariffs,that is 3% of its workforce.
Silicon Valley is suffering. Plus Trump has told APPLE not to go to India from China but instead to the US.
Or else a 25% tariff on Apple products.The same for SAMSUNG,the SOUTH KOREAN company that makes cellphones. If it doesn’t transfer from South Korea to the US,a 25% tariff.
Such a tariff would make Apple and Samsung cellphones cost how much in the US?
$2,000? $2,500?
No, it would be $3,500. Up from an average of $700.
If Apple were to transfer all its cellphone manufacturing to the US NOBODY outside the US would buy it. The more than 190 other countries
in the world would
buy HUAWEI (Chinese ) and SAMSUNG cellphones,minimum 6X cheaper.
As if I really care what a stinking iPhone is gonna cost. Think about how much less propaganda would reach our brainwashed humans and that’s what this uproar is all about. Get out and get some real fresh air.
Perhaps a name change? I suggest RDeranged which would be rather appropriate.
There are 2 theories as to why Trump is destroying the US economy.
1. The first one is his escape from certain death or permanent disability when a bullet that would have hit him didn’t in 2024. He moved a bit when not expected and the bullet cut his ear.
The theory is that from then on he has been convinced that he is protected by GOD.
He has been chosen by God to apply his ideas to save the US. Even if his decisions are disastrous GOD will save the US and him miraculously.
It is destiny.
2. The other is Trump got very scared,knowing the DEEP STATE almost killed him. So he made a SECRET deal. He made promises to the Deep State in exchange for 2 things:
a.They would let him get elected.
b. They would NOT kill him after the election.
One part of the deal was the 5 TRILLION dollars in tax exception to the rich.The ”Big ,Beautiful Bill” that got passed.
In the US only 3% of people are OWNERS of a business.
The majority of the 3% are NOT millionaires and up.But there is ”the 1%”,the millionaires and billionaires.
The second part of the deal would be the PLANNED destruction of the US economy,Why? To force the 99% to SELL their property,businesses to the 1%,the OLIGARCHS.
The 1% would perhaps ”save” the 99% by promising UNIVERSAL INCOME for the rest of their lives but the PRICE would be they would lose their property.
”You will own nothing and be happy”,the GLOBALIST slogan.
The phrase, “You’ll own nothing and be happy”, originated in a 2016 video by the World Economic Forum (WEF), summarising an essay written by Danish politician Ida Auken. In her essay titled: “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.”
6 novels on one article and all accrued downvotes. Not an up vote among them. And one or two comments in response. Quite an accomplishment.
I never read your endless crap. Take the hint. No one cares. Go away. You have no idea what you are talking about.
I completely agree, “Your silence and selective outrage send a chilling message that Jewish lives are worth less, that violence against Jews is excusable, and that terrorism can be rationalized when the victims are Israeli. We call on the UN to immediately remove you from your role.” – Leo Terrell to Francesesca Albanese.
As an Italian, I am sorry for inflicting Ms. Albanese to the world.
However, as Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are finding out, when large Organizatons are so far into corruption, they’re irredeemable. The only way for a common sensed Nation is to opt out. And if it’s the US to walk away (and withdrawing the funds) the UN will die in short time, or be totally irrelevant.
Its predecessor, the Society of Nations, suffered a similar fate.
She’s ugly and angry.
IS TOM FLETCHER INFLUENCED BY FASCISTA FRANCESCA?
____
UN’s Tom Fletcher [the “14,000 babies” lie producer] tells Amanpour: “We don’t think it’s Hamas doing that looting.”
“Objective” United Nations: Tom Fletcher [the “14,000 babies” lie producer] tells propagandist/journalist Amanpour (5.22.25):
“We don’t think it’s Hamas doing that looting.”
Ponder:
1. Does that mean, the UN, UNRWA always knows who is Hamas? How is that not a guilty charge on the UNRWA, again?
2. Is he as “free” to say, just as journalists recently publicized of being threatened as reported by International Press Centre (IPC). [“Watchdog: Gazan reporters ‘intimidated, threatened, assaulted by Hamas’”. TOI. 5.16.25]?
Or is it both?

Why are we still using the term “anti-semite” in place of the more accurate “jew- hater”?
I agree. I very, very rarely use antisemite, it sounds too clinical and clean for the filth it covers.
Jew-hater is the accurate term to use.
I agree and like you I have been advocating the term Jew-hatred for quite some time.
Anti-semite has been overused to the extent that it has lost its impact.
To coin a good old English saying, these people always look as though butter wouldn’t melt in their mouth; ie that they are little goodie two shoes.
That is until they hear something they dislike and then the mask slips and the true beast is revealed, as in every good horror movie.
POTIS would be wise to put the UN on notice, “Run off the cow of Bashan and put someone in place to provide balance.” We’re getting sooo tired of getting gas-lit by fools.
Too bad she wasn’t around when the Holocaust was ongoing, or when America and Canada turned back the MV St.Louis carrying German Jews looking for sanctuary. Maybe they all would have been Holocaust survivors. It really isn’t all about Jews.
