Gli #USA hanno camminato fianco a fianco con #Israele nella sistematica degradazione del diritto internazionale, della religione, della morale pubblica e del governo democratico. Attaccare persone come Francesca Albanese ci ricorda altre persone ferocemente virtuose che furono diffamate, attaccate e uccise per la loro opposizione al male istituzionale: Malcolm X, Gandhi, Mandela, Lamumba... il mondo deve a Francesca Albanese un enorme debito di gratitudine per il suo eroismo.

#FrancescaAlbanese

The feeling of oppression and injustice constantly haunts me. 🚨🚨
I am an elderly man.
I feel utterly helpless.
Where are you? I wish for death when I reach this point. 🥺
Please don't leave my family alone.🙏

Help me get treatment and get out of Gaza

I am citizen Zakaria Ahmed Radwan, I live in the neighbourhoods of Gaza, of which only memories remained. I was living among the rubble, where houses turned into rubble, and dreams into painful patience. I no longer have a home that protects me from the cold, so I found my breath with my family in a small tent that does not protect the summer heat or the cold of winter, but it was all that was left for me.

UN rapporteur sanctioned by the US

The UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese sanctioned and subject to death threats

April 2026

Francesca Albanese is the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories since 1967. She has documented the extreme violence meted out on the Palestinians by Israel settlers and the IDF and for her pains has been sanctioned by the US President Donald Trump as a ‘specially designated national’. She is the first UN to have received this designation which puts her alongside drug traffickers and dictators. This has had serious consequences for her including the seizure of her Washington apartment and not being able to use a credit card anywhere in the world because they are all processed by American firms. There was considerable lobbying for this to happen.

She has received this treatment because of her reporting on the extreme violence used against Palestinians by Israel and by calling their behaviour genocide.

We are currently witnessing the invasion of southern Lebanon and the demolition of many villages.

In the West Bank, settler violence in 2026 so far, has displaced more Palestinians than in the whole of 2025. Around 1,000 have been killed since 2023 a quarter of whom were children. This is part of a pattern of violent displacement, demolition, evictions and crippling movement and access restrictions. The UN reports that ‘Israeli authorities directed, participated in or enabled settler violence’.

Albanese was interviewed recently in a Guardian piece and expands on her role and the politicians around the world who have been complicit in the violence. She has little time for Sir Keir Starmer and the aid and cover he has given Israel describing him as a ‘monster’ for arguing in 2023 that Israel ‘has the right’ to cut off electricity and gas to Gaza. “You’re not a human rights person at all” she says “if you say such a monstrosity. And the university who gave you your law degree should take it away from you.” [In the subsequent furore Sir Keir claimed he was “questioned by members” and he “made it clear it is not and has never been my view that Israel had the right to cut off water, food, fuel or medicines. International law must be followed.”]

Exceptionally ruthless physical and psychological abuse

This March, the UN published its latest report on the treatment and torture of hundreds of Palestinians and an extract says:

“In custody, Palestinian captives have been subjected to exceptionally ruthless physical and psychological abuse, on a scale and with an intensity without precedent in the history of Palestine/Israel. Brutal beatings, sexual violence, rape, lethal mistreatment, starvation and the systematic deprivation of the most basic human conditions have inflicted profound and lasting scars on the bodies and minds of tens of thousands of Palestinians and their loved ones. These practices demonstrate that the detention system of Israel has descended into a regime of systemic and widespread humiliation, coercion, and terror, aimed at stripping Palestinians not only of their liberty but of their dignity, identity and even the most basic sense of humanity. Far from isolated excesses, such conduct has been institutionalized within detention structures, politically endorsed by Israeli authorities and publicly justified, or even celebrated, by segments of society”. [para 84]

A report by UN Watch repudiates all of Albanese’s conclusions. The organisation is affiliated to the American Jewish Committee.

Peace of any kind seems a long way off in the region. The bombing and assassinations in Iran, the massive death toll in Gaza, increasing violence in the West Bank and now the invasion of southern Lebanon seems to show a pattern of violence as a kind of first port of call for the nation. Assisted by the US they are immensely powerful militarily and seem to have no real wish to compromise and certainly not recognise a Palestinian state. The tragedy is that it will not bring them the security they so desperately desire. A new generation of people with hatred towards Israel is in the making and will come to haunt them in years to come.

The treatment of Albanese is wholly unjustified and vindictive. Her reports can be criticised and errors pointed out in the normal way. But the death threats to her and her family, the seizing of her apartment and other coercive measures are wholly unacceptable.

Francesca says "genocide." US sanctions her.
Israel threatens to rape her 13-year-old daughter. But she's the extremist?
The West's "rules-based order" just means: criticize Israel, lose your child.
Classy.
Real "light unto nations" material. 🤡💀🎭🔪👧

‘My life has become a rollercoaster’: Francesca Albanese on death threats, danger and dread after accusing Israel of genocide

When the UN special rapporteur published her report Anatomy of a Genocide in March 2024, she was lionised by some and demonised by the Trump government. She describes what happened next

What the Guardian should have asked Francesca Albanese

There are times when even the Guardian is beyond parody. The newspaper which recently published an article by Iran’s foreign minister – as Iranian propaganda does not get a sufficient airing in the West – can be relied upon to find the worst possible take on any subject, even the opening of a cake shop. Last month one

The Spectator

This is the world we're living in:
#FrancescaAlbanese
'Trump’s executive order sanctioning #Albanese prohibited any American person or entity from providing her with “funds, goods or services” – a description so broad it has been compared to a “civil death”. Her apartment in Washington, bought when she and her family were living in the US capital, has been seized. She can no longer use a credit card anywhere in the world, as almost all such transactions are processed by US-based services. “I go around with cash or I have to borrow from friends or from family members,” she says.
