(JEWISH GROUP) France urges removal of UN rapporteur over remarks on Israel

France urges removal of UN rapporteur over remarks on Israel

Speaking at a forum Saturday in Doha organized by the Al Jazeera network, UN rights rapporteur Francesca Albanese referred to a 'common enemy' that enabled the 'genocide' in Gaza.

France is calling for the resignation of the UN special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories over comments she made allegedly targeting Israel at a conference, the foreign minister said on Wednesday, February 11.

"France unreservedly condemns the outrageous and reprehensible remarks made by Francesca Albanese, which are directed not at the Israeli government, whose policies may be criticized, but at Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable," Jean-Noël Barrot told French lawmakers.

Speaking at a forum Saturday in Doha organized by the Al Jazeera network, Albanese referred to a "common enemy" that enabled the "genocide" in Gaza. "The fact that instead of stopping Israel, most of the world has armed, given Israel political excuses, political sheltering, economic and financial support," she said. "We who do not control large amounts of financial capitals, algorithms and weapons, we now see that we as a humanity have a common enemy," she continued.

Can't get your Jew hate on much more than that, classic stuff, but nothing new from her.
