It’s not like they’re hard to find…
….but here is another example of what’s wrong with the United Nations: anti-Semitism department.
From an article at the Times Of Israel, via msn.com:
Reluctantly acknowledging that Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 in southern Israel and hostage-taking of 251 to Gaza “could qualify” as terrorism, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese nonetheless told British television personality Piers Morgan that the nature of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza following the terrorist group’s rampage was illegal.
Interviewed on Tuesday by Morgan for his Uncensored YouTube program, Albanese said that, on “the day Israel was attacked, it had all the rights to defend itself, to protect its citizens in its territory and therefore to repel the attack with all necessary and proportional measures — which means using force, including lethal force, arresting, detaining all persons involved and found on its territory — which happened on the 7th, 8th and 9th of October.”
However, she went on, “Israel didn’t have the right to wage a war against the Palestinians in Gaza.”
When it was put to her by Morgan that “absolutely” Israel had the right to go after the 3,000 terrorists who had poured over its border and massacred its people, and had taken the hostages to Gaza, and that “it doesn’t stop at the border,” she replied that Morgan should be “very careful because… this ‘eye for an eye’ logic would justify what had happened on October 7.”
Translation: this genius is, in effect, saying “Ok, I guess what Palestinians (her word, not mine) did on on October 7 was illegal (not terroristic, just illegal) but how dare Israel fight back by going after them in Gaza, and not just being “proportional”. That makes what those Palestinians did justifiable”.
If this doesn’t get francesca albanese fired within 24 hours (and, of course, it doesn’t, because the United Nations, in general, is just as Israel-hating as she is) what does that tell you about the organization?
Plenty, that’s what.
I don’t know what incoming President Donald Trump intends to do when it comes to this once-important, but now-pathetic organization. But if he says we’re out of it and sends it packing from the New York headquarters – while summarily removing diplomatic immunity from its delegations – I assure you I won’t lose a moment’s sleep.
