(VINnews) UN Special Rapporteur for the ‘Occupied’ Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, who has a long record of anti-Israel bias and antisemitism, is being slammed on Twitter for her vicious and disdainful comments about Israel’s miraculous rescue operation.

Albanese criticized Israel for the operation, saying: “Israel has used hostages to legitimize killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatizing Palestinians in Gaza.”
Her full tweet said: “Relieved that four hostages have been released. It should not have come at the expense of at least 200 Palestinians, including children, killed and over 400 injured by Israel and allegedly foreign soldiers, while perfidiously hiding in an aid truck.
This is “humanitarian camouflage” at another level.
“Israel has used hostages to legitimise killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatising Palestinians in Gaza. And while intensifying violence against Palestinians in the rest of the occupied territory and Israel.
“Israel could have freed all hostages, alive and intact, 8 months ago when the first ceasfire and hostage exchange was put on the table. Yet, Israel refused in order to continue to destroy Gaza and the Palestinians as a people.
This is genocidal intent turned into action. Crystal clear.”
Four hostages were not “released” today. They were RESCUED.
If they were actually released by the terrorists who were holding them for 8 months, then no one would have had to die today.
It’s shameful how far the apologists for Hamas are willing to go in defense of terrorism. https://t.co/5qmcksk6yS

Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, wrote: “No hostages were “released.” They were rescued in a military operation because Hamas uses Arab civilians as human shields. Only a modern-day Nazi would find a way to blame Israel (aka Jews) for the civilian deaths caused by Hamas seizing civilians, Hamas holding them hostage, and Hamas hiding behind civilians. But the UN is a warm and inviting home for modern-day Nazis.”

Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, tweeted the following:
“This is to serve notice that your statement below constitutes a material breach of the United Nations Code of Conduct for Special Procedures Mandate-Holders of the Human Rights Council, specificially for violating your duties under Article 3 to act through a professional, impartial assessment of facts based on internationally recognized human rights standards; violating your fundamental obligation of truthfulness; failing to uphold the highest standards of competence and integrity; violating your duty to act with probity, impartiality, equity, honesty and good faith; and breaching your obligation to behave in such a way as to maintain and reinforce the trust they enjoy of all stakeholders.
“Abusing your UN mandate to regurgitate Hamas propaganda is a gross violation of the UN Code of Conduct.”
As reported by JNS:
“Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the right to housing, tweeted on Saturday that “Countries that celebrate the release of four Israeli hostages without saying a word about the hundreds of Palestinians killed and thousands held in arbitrary detention by Israel, have lost moral credibility for generations and don’t deserve to be on any U.N. human rights body.”
The U.N. Human Rights Council, which appoints special rapporteurs, has long been criticized for including some of the world’s worst human rights offenders, including current members such as China, Cuba and Eritrea.”
We need to come to the realisation that these people are all scum. There is no need to engage or reason with them or criticise them. Just ignore them.
Evil kalaba zonah, she fully support Hamas killing Jews. The UN are scum.
If she cares for the Palestinian civilians then why doesn’t she ask Hashem to release the hostages? It clearly shows that she wants more Palestinians to die so she can blame Israel for it.
Isrealis and pro-Israelis need to stop using the term “civilians” for these terrorist. These so-called “civilians” are holding the hostages hostage-they are terrorists!
Remember! There are no civilians in Gaza , they are either terorists or supporters of terorists, pole after pole show how they cheering Oct 7 and hoping to reaped it , they helping Hamas hide hostages etc. what else proof to we need , and those who wanna keep defending them,are as guilty as them Get lost
Hamas wants these civilians to die. It bolsters their public relations persona. If anyone really cared for what’s right, Hamas would be vilified by the U.N. and all media outlets for placing the hostages in civilian neighborhoods and using civilians as human shields. But the nations hate the Jews, especially when they fight back.
May all her hatred for Israel come to her and rest on her head.
Her birth was a cursed day for humanity .
she is an antisemite, what do you expect?
Perfidious is a known term used to denigrate Jews for millennia via the church. She knew exactly what word she was using. Evil
Evil. Woman. It defies belief to read her tweet.
Can someone please start calling people out for using Hamas casualty numbers on a regular basis and ignoring international rules of war in castigation Israel??????
The UN is an evil body that hopefully once President Trump is reelected (kayn yehi ratzon) he will defund them and kick them out of nyc
