Francesca Albanese is infamous for her antisemitism. She has an extensive curriculum vitae, but her official position is “United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Long before the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, she was a part of the UN and media bombardment of propaganda regarding Palestinian victimhood, Zionist oppression, the “occupied territories” and the like. Albanese seized on October 7 with further vitriol against the Jewish state. Her hatred of Israel is so open and virulent that in July 2024, even the anti-Israel UN opened up a probe into allegations that she took funds from pro-Hamas lobby groups. Of course, the UN is unlikely to conduct a full or completely honest investigation into someone who shares its institutional views. Nevertheless, the UN finally did admit that it paid for Albanese’s anti-Israel lobbying trip to Australia and New Zealand. During her visit, Albanese also participated in media and fundraising events, as well as in meetings with pro-Palestinian politicians and civil society members.
