Israeli FM Calls for UN Official's Firing for Tweet Justifying Oct 7

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz calls on UN chief Antonio Guterres to fire UN special rapporteur for the Palestinians Francesca Albanese, a UN official with a history of antisemitic and anti-Israel remarks, following her most recent remarks appearing to justify Hamas’s October 7 massacre and claiming it was due to “oppression.”

“The victims of 7/10 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in response to Israel’s oppression,” she wrote in a tweet responding to a Le Monde post reporting on French President Emmanuel Macron honoring the victims of Hamas’s October 7 shock onslaught, including a number of French nationals. Macron decried “the biggest antisemitic massacre of our century” as well as “rampant antisemitism” in France in the wake of the attack.

“The ‘greatest anti-Semitic massacre of our century’? No, Mr. Emmanuel Macron. The victims of 7/10 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in response to Israel’s oppression. France & the international community did nothing to prevent it. My respects to the victims,” she wrote.

The French Foreign Ministry responded to her tweet that October 7 was indeed “the largest antisemitic massacre of the 21st century” and “disputing it is a mistake.”

Every single day, the UN looks scummier and scummier.
