We fight, We win
Francesca Albanese is at it again, cloaking her Jew-hatred in legalese and justifying it through denial. Yes, if there’s one thing that offends the United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the so-called “occupied Palestinian territories,” it’s being exposed as an antisemite.
Not that it’s ever prevented the Italian international lawyer, who was appointed in 2022 to her three-year position, from going above and beyond the call of duty in bashing Israel at every opportunity. But her latest one-two-punch, in the form of a “report” on the war in Gaza, is a new low.
The document, titled “Anatomy of a Genocide,” is laden with footnotes to support its slanted hypotheses and wrong conclusions. It’s a practice that’s par for the course, so to speak, in the world of academia from which Albanese hails.
But in the Orwellian universe of the United Nations, where “Jewish lobby” conspiracy theorists like Albanese are embraced, right is wrong and good is evil. Hence, while the description of “genocide” in the report actually applies to the aims and behavior of Hamas, the “pay-for-slay” Palestinian Authority and all radical Islamists bent on the annihilation of the Jewish state, it is presented as proof of Israeli culpability—before and after Oct. 7.
Take, for instance, the passage stating that genocide is codified as “any of the [specified] acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”
The acts in question are specified as: “killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Speaking of which, Albanese writes, “The perpetrator’s intent to destroy the group in whole or in part distinguishes genocidal acts from other international crimes.”
Indeed. Hamas has been committing genocidal acts against Jews since its establishment in 1987, with suicide bombings in Israeli buses, malls, cafes and any busy venue that it selected for maximum carnage.
Its bloody spree on Oct. 7 was made possible by decades of practice, planning and billions of dollars in foreign aid. The money was spent on weapons and the construction of a subterranean labyrinth—under hospitals, mosques and schools—for the purpose of wiping out Israel.
Aside from the Hamas charter, the updated (2017) version of which upholds that “resistance and jihad for the liberation of Palestine will remain a legitimate right, a duty and an honor for all the sons and daughters of our people and our Ummah,” the group’s leaders not only refuse to free the remaining 134 starving and abused hostages, but vow to repeat the deeds of Oct. 7 “again and again and again.”
