Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has said that Israel cannot claim the right of ‘self-defence’ under international law because Gaza is a territory which it occupies. Her comments came in a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra, Australia.

Can’t not claim self defense then is it called genocide bc Jews got attacked in Israel. Israel does not occupy Gaza Strip since 2005
she ia so funny
She has balls
.another lefty idiot
What an unholy women ; Shame
So if the territory is under Israel, then they can’t clame self defence that’s fine then Israel can do what they like to citizens under there control! No why not you not interested in help North Korean citizens or the citizens in Arab countries having civil wars ……….
The false narratives like israel v palistine when it’s zionist v islamic radicals and folks that are happy being fools instead of doing some objective research and admit that they have been fooled are causing ww3!!!
Semantics bullpoo
Is shw trying to say that 2nd biggest act of terrorism cant be answerd because of technicality?
It is a civil war. Israel does not exist. Palastine exists and palastine is in a civil war with an invading group of jews . This civil war has been going on for 75 years . This is the truth .
Sorry lady, but Gaza is not occupied. Gaza has been independent since about 2005. Hamas. Is the elected more or less elected government of Gaza. For all intents and purposes, when Hamas invaded Israel it was the invasion by another country.
When people family’s kidnapped they call they the police.
When a country’s citizens are kidnapped it’s justified war.
Why can’t a 3rd party help and negotiate between the two, It’s obvious they hate each other, they both will escalate the situation.
She is sarcastically right…😂😂 she is falling short of words to defend Hamas .. 😅 good attempt…
this makes no sense not gonna lie
I mean, if you want to be accurate about it, Gaza is not occupied by Israel. It is blockaded, but Gaza has been conducting its own affairs as much as it
Gaza is occupied and oppressed by Hamas, not Israel. Of course Hamas is an ‘armed group’, they are the government of Gaza.
Cringe
Aka Palestine for 100 years
At this point just call yourself the United Jew Hating Organisation. Dogmatism is celebrated
lsraeI occupy a land, imprison their people then get surprised when they fight back and try to get out from prison ?!! … and the silly people who claim that Palestinians having weapons make them terrrorrists !! How do you want them to resist with flowers ?!! , why IsraeI having massive heavy weapons and nuclear missles don’t make them terrrorists then ?
Watching her split hairs to defend terrorists is painful 😂
So much bs, stfu.
Israel is not threatened by another state? So she’s ignoring the genocide of Jews in October 7? She is DELUSIONAL and unfit to speak, because she couldn’t face the Truth.
Shes delusional
Israel doesn’t occupy Gaza, this woman is certifiable. They are an autonomous region, elected their own government. Invaded a sovereign state and are now being held accountable for their cowardly rape and murder they have committed. It’s telling thet this Italian woman disagrees with Israel’s right tk defend itself, when so many moderate Muslim nations have expressed support.
The fact is Arabs came from the Arabian peninsula and colonized the land that the Hebrew’s not quite Jews yet were indigenous to. Palistians are actually on land that were colonized by Arabs. The land that the uninformed are griping about actually belonged to the Jews centuries before. Archeological digs have proven this fact in all the areas in question. All these protesters really don’t know what they are protesting about when they claim the Jews took over Palistians and the land they occupy. Who are the real occupiers? It’s a lot more complicated than what I can explain in a few sentences. Read the history for yourself.
Tell them sweetheart the westernized cowards countries leadership sold their souls to Israel
That is like saying, if you have a boarder staying in your house and they attack you and you retaliate, it is not self defence. You are in the wrong. Explain that.
But Israel did not occupy Gaza. Isreal retreated in 2005. So these claims are pure nonsense
Bullshit. Israeli citizens were attacked by a political organization known for terrorist activity. What we should be saying is that Israel should not overstep its boundaries in self defense, which it has done and has a tendency to do. To say that a sovereign nation who’s citizens were targeted, killed, kidnapped and worse doesn’t have a right to claim self defense is I’ll informed and unfair. It is their job to ensure the safety of their citizens. They also have a duty to make sure that they abide by international law and I agree that needs to be addressed immediately. All these one sided Opinions are why we can’t come to the table and actually make peace happen for the innocents who suffer in war. Everyone is so buried in their own opinion that they cannot acknowledge the other side. Let’s change that
so by her logic terrorist are not a threat because they dont have state + Israel left gaza and there was local election that hamas won. what is she even selling here?
Gaza is not occupied. Has not had a single Israeli troop or civilian presence since Israeli disengagement in 2005. The reason Gaza is poor and suffers is because Hamas, a terrorist organization, runs their government worse than Haiti and steals all their humanitarian aid so their leaders can live in luxury hotels in Qatar and orchestrate this war safely thousands of miles away.
Not only is what she’s saying dumb but she legit sounds dumb.
State was threatened 1948 by Jews and occupied by Jews and Palestinian lost they land
spekulasi itu adalah kemahiran idea isr4el bukan ke dalam agama yahudisme menganggap dia adalah bangsa yang agung dan bangsa lain itu harus mengikut malah mereka menganggap bangsa lain adalah binatang dan di halalkan sembelih .. pssttt
iQ < 11 can be speach
This women just dismissed all the Israel that was murdered on Oct 7th.
And that is why the UN is dismissed as the most stupid and idiotic organization ever… For example – Iran was just nominated as the head of the UN human rights counsel 😂😂😂
This woman is embarrassing
WHAT A B! They can’t claim self defense?!?!? 1,000 Jews were killed by Hamas!! Israeli retaliation isn’t self defense?!?!
SO YOU ARE A DEVILD AMONG OTHERS.
So Israel should fold her arms and just observe?
Is this person an idiot
She had to really think of a way to justify terrorist actions. 😂 Remember it is free reign on terrorist. Plus I did not see people complain about a million Iraqi deaths. Iraq had zero WMD’s but where was this level of outrage? F Gaza terrorists.
Is this what is termed gobbledygook? Lady, please sit down!
Such biased rubbish.
UN Hipocracy exposed
hamas was elected and the approval rate was over 50%…. They, a lot of them, were cheering at the sight of the dead israeli bodys… shut th f up. You ar full of sh’t…. I would like to know how you would react being raped multiple times… How you would speak after that…. Still so smurk and cognitive, dont think so…. You have never felt fear
She is so gorgeous inside and out
She is confused
Total BS from this woman.
Remember when Hitler was exterminating the Jews?
No more aid for any country from the United States
Gaza not occupied from 2005. Don’t f@ck our mind
So Israel are 100% in breach of international law regardless of what Hamas has done. Because Israel was in breach prior to the Hamas attack. So both Hamas and the Israeli are in breach and need to be arrested. Thank otnis very clear to me now.
Send her to Gaza !
America did it several times lybia Iraq Afghanistan just a few all on lies as we all know if your attacked you have the right to defend yourself by any means and take by force what is your citizens
Stupid woman Gaza was given independence in 2005 and immediately elected a coalition of terrorists to rule them, WTF do they teach in history these days
From the river to the sea – Israel is what you’ll see!
Am Israel chai!!
עם ישראל חי!!
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Hammas run , govern Gaza.
Right you don’t understand do Jews have no right to defend themselves after all they’re killed our Lord and savior
Finely someone who understands words and knows how to explain them this is what I mean Israel says allot proves nothing but almost everyone supports them it’s despicable
But hamas is the government in gaza.
How about we don’t take moral advice from Australia, which is a country that literally built concentration camps for its own citizens during the covid pandemic.
Bs words
Puré hypocrit women, she has twisted the truth, she is evil.
Serbia’s actions against UCK ended by NATO aggression and secession of Kosovo
Israel has the right to defend its self I stand with Israel simple as that I will not support terrorists
Moron explanation
Are you retarded they got 1400 threats that came true on oct 7
Sounds like a sales person trying to con you into buying junk to me
This lady dropped her brain . Call it what you like but thousands of cheap rockets that can deplete your defense , thousands murdered, hundreds taken hostages will trigger a response . Play semantics, dishonesty & fallacious reasoning all you want , the idf won’t care . Your opinion is sick & cause only to inflame anger & conflict , by justifying & encouraging religious insanity on the part of hamas .
What does occupied mean specifically.
Does Hamas run Gaza ? Yes
Did Hamas invade Israel and kill civilians ? Yes
Does Israel have the right to reply ? Yes
These people cause global war and genocided..then make bold statements while living in luxury and protected. Another example of overpayed ,useless ,bureaucrat trying to have their 2min of fame..shutta uppa
Israel vacated gaza since 2005. If Israel had occupied gaza, Hamas will not exist.
