Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, told the U.N.’s Human Rights Council she believes “the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide against Palestinians as a group in Gaza has been met.”

#UnitedNations #Gaza #Israel
It’s about land expansion, I think Israel has shown it’s intentions
Netanyahu needs to be accountable for these crimes against humanity
Good woman. Albanese has the balls to use the hard hitting language needed to burst the bubble of zionist extremists in the rogue state.
Netanyahu is the problem
We all know it’s genocide. Nevertheless, it is helpful to have the reality articulated with skill and accuracy.
Francesca Albanese, like the United Nations in general, has never been a friend of Israel and cannot be considered an objective observer let alone “expert”.
At this juncture Netanyahu would be well advised to boldly appeal directly to the American people who are sick and tired of the farce that is the United Nations and foreign policy that refuses to confront the evil that is Islam i.e. withdraw from the Israel hating United Nations and make it clear that if the effort to provide Hamas and exit from the field is pressed, Israel will sever diplomatic relations with the United States for cause…lack of moral and ethical clarity. Israel has everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing so.
American patriots will rise to fight the good fight as they have so many times in history.
The final confrontation between good and evil has begun…pitting those who adhere to the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” against those who do not; the false religion of human intellectual arrogance, Marxianity, posing as a political ideology in an utterly incongruous alliance with a political ideology, Islam posing as a religion…with both seeking to destroy the United States so as to destroy Israel.
It really is that simple.
Thank you for calling it out!
Israel has been trying too wipe out Palestinians for decades now this isn’t anything new they have been tearing down Palestinians homes since early 2000’s
Is this the same UN that takes American tax money and sends it to asylum seekers so they can fly into Mexico? The UN are criminals and Americas worst enemy
Would the UN of condemned the bombing of Berlin? Would the UN of demanded we let Hitler and his armies in Berlin go? What a useless body the UN is, what garbage…
We said that fir months
Shouldn’t have started a war you can’t finish. Palestinians are playing both terrorists and victims.
Anyone with half a brain sees through their bs games.
Water is wet, the sky is blue and isreal is committing genocide
Francesca Albanese holds a law degree with honours from the University of Pisa and a Master of Laws in human rights from SOAS University of London, and she is completing her PhD in International Refugee Law at the Law Faculty of Amsterdam University.[2] She is an Affiliate Scholar at the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University, a Senior Advisor on Migration and Forced Displacement at the non-profit Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD).
Wow. I wonder if anyone in geno joe bidens administration has even one of these qualifications.
I’m not Catholic but it should be Saint Francesca Albanese
Good job standing up to Satanyahu, Ben Gvir the clown & the cabal. They’re not welcome in America. Stop paying taxes. Stop funding wars.
So these terrorists start a war and now are begging the world to help them because they re being demolished
By the way, there is a written document of intent to genocide, it’s in the Koran.
Israel defies the greatest creator of all things. His wrath has no end to those whom hand out destruction and desolation to the meek and the weary..israel has been seen and judged whoa to them
This level of antisemitism was predicted by the Bible 2000 years ago. The Antichrist will come soon and most of the world will accept him as God. You can see it taking shape in what evil people spew in the media and what fools in the comments will accept as truth
They do it and keep doing it openly and clearly in front of our eyes.
You just need to be a Human to see this Genocide
*I guess Israel’s sugar coated blanket of milk honey and more sectarian fairy tales has fallen off and the truth is terrifying*
So who does the achievement award go to
this despicable woeman is not an expert.
she is a highly biased, hateful person with an agend to see israel destroyed.
she has no idea what genocide and obscenely uses it to describe a relatively small % of a population who are targets in a war not begun by israel
buy started so many times by Hamas. she is committing crimes against humanity with her nefarious and evil agendas.
the UN is becoming a tool of radical islam and will see its demise if it fails to push for hamas’ surrender.
they must think we are dupes.
Western world is responsible for this gen0cid… Shameless
NBC might check the persons bias and conflict of interest issues of the extreme biased expert.
Francesca Albanese, is a lawyer who worked for UNRWA…her husband Massimiliano Calì served as an economic advisor to the Ministry of National Economy of the State of Palestine in Ramallah. Working for the government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas…In a 2021 lecture about her book, Palestinian refugees in International Law, Albanese admitted questioning her ability to be impartial on the subject: “I feared [that] embarking on a matter [on] which I had deeply held personal views could compromise my objectivity.” (Mandate to discriminate, part 2. Presented to the UN Human Right Council 49 Session Report by UN Watch Mar 29, 2022)
God gives wisdom to whom he wants. Blind cannot see even if he has eyes. 32 thousands killed by IDF. Everything destroyed. Did Hitler commit Genocide?
Very ridiculous speech, she is not qualified to hold this position, she doesn’t even know when this war started. Since the beginning of the nation of Israel, all its neighboring Arab countries have been working to wipe the nation of Israel off the world map. Peace will not return until the Arab nations abandon their politics of hatred against the Jewish people.
There’s nothing expert about her. And NBC knows it perfectly well. Why not correct the headline?
My fellow Americans, it’s time to wake up. The power is in the hands of public opinion. US was the last supporter of Apartheid South African and when public opinion in the US turned, the Apartheid fell.
Israeli General Mattityahu Peled in 1992
“Anyone who says occupation corrupts was absolutely right and we have been occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip for the last 25 years; this is corrupting us.”
“It is not so normal that to get American money in order to pay American debts but this has been arranged so the other half is going to put to establish more settlements in the occupied and tho at the time over the years when the United States clearly states that they are against setting up settlements in the occupied territories and they are against it because this is a violation of the Geneva Convention. I suppose because this may create an irreversible situation where there will be no solution to the Arab Israeli conflict.
Wrong. They are defending themselves. Don’t forgot who attacked first during that music festival. We all watched the people of Palestine dancing in the street. Are we just gonna keep denying that?
Who attacked first ????
Look back 70 years. This didnt start last October darlin’..
UNWRA member aided and abetted on oct 7 this um try to try destroy Israel and sising with erroyism disband the corrput un
What nonsense she is talking. She is also antisemitic and first she must speak the truth and condemn the Hamas atrocities on October 7th. This is the only cause of this whole problem and unfortunately that is why the innocent people of Gaza and the Jewish people are suffering.
Why are you making things up? This genocide didn’t start on Oct 7th. The terrible attack happened on Oct 7th, an attack in defense at best. You cannot on live television say you’re going to break international law, commit war crimes, go out there and do just those things. Then when you’re investigated, claim the investigator is anti semite. You people are brainless!
Very empty and perfunctory message – when it comes to evidence of “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group” we hear vague answers. Sometimes, the criminals leave traces such as written documents (Wansee protocol), gas chambers, graves. Gaza should be a lesson to learn what the modern nazism looks like
They found on this now?? This be going on for 75 years..
Methinks, Hitler was not referring to Jews in general, but to the Zionists….
All day , Israel , Israel.
What about Russia ?
Francesca do a report on Russia vs.
Ukraine .
Finally Unitef Nations admit and find reality that Israel committing genocide in gaza and condemning Israeli crime against humanity is not anti-semitic
Imagine supporting a regime killing thousands of people but still feel not guilty.
Are these men/women human?
The same UN doesn’t know activities of Hamas fpr so many days.
The Same US caught funding Hamas
We are not buying this LIES of hamas.
A few market places and restaurants still exist in Gaza, but for those who can afford it, and most cannot. That’s because, for the past 20 years, Gaza was an aid based “frontier”/landscape occupied by Hamas. In the past week or so, who gets to buy food, specifically, what is considered “luxury food”, along with purchasable supplies which is dependent upon the decisions of Palestinian check point workers.
Within Gaza, certain districts are controlled and patrolled by Palestinians at specific (exists) check points to enforce districted codes regarding forms of rationed goods/products. At times, a check point worker might demand to search the contents of a buyer’s tote. The worker can demand the customer relinquish particular purchased luxury goods (which Americans would not consider luxury).
Palestine was occupied by Hamas for 20 years. Too many had no fresh water, food, or jobs, during that time, except if they desired to go to Israel, but Palestinians had to keep it a secret. If someone even suggested employment was difficult to find/gain in Gaza, the families of the job hunter (in Gaza or the PA) would be tortured. Hence this false narrative script about how fabulous Gazan life was before October 7th became a facet of the Gazan false narrative (experience). Moreover, almost every Palestinian knew who had connections to the kleptocracy to dole out the money to harm and ridicule Israelis by throwing stones at Israelis, maiming or killing Israeli infants or their young mothers. The pro-hamas Palestinian assaulters and batterers were Palestinian children, teens, or, generally, young adults, who would stalk Israeli families, call them names, and throw objects at them as the Israelis tried to peacefully walk through their normally quiet neighborhoods to permit their small baby to enjoy time, outside, in the fresh air.
It is not new to see oppressor is accusing rebels for atrocities.most of the world countries believe what israel is doing an ethnic cleasing except two countries; US and Israel. The whole world cannot be wrong against two countries.
Americans wake up !!! The entire world knows and stood up against Israel. Your government is the only one still supporting genocide and war criminals.
The way to overcome the ceasefire in Gaza is not just words, there will be no solution, the correct thing is to take action for the sake of unity of all PPB members by forming organizations from all countries to form a peaceful military defense to go directly to the battlefield to defend justice in Gaza
UN & UBRWA funding the terrorists and they want to throw the blame on Israel.
Any evidence for this yet or is it like those 40 Dolls you showed Biden?
The situation in Gaza is indeed horrendous. What I have never understood about this is why Israel is being held responsible. Hamas started this on October 7th, knowing full well what Isreal’s response would be. It is incredible that Hamas members have sat by and watched their countrymen being bombed, and now facing death by starvation From the outset, and until this moment, Hamas had only to release the hostages and cease their operations. My observance of Hamas’ deplorable behaviour is that they are fanatics, willing to see all their people destroyed. For what?
There’s 2 billion Muslims and only 13 million Jews. They’re afraid of us and jealous of us. 🇮🇱
@@gavrielmusheyev141 No one is jealous of a people that need perpetual handouts from the US. You’re the world number one beggars.
this woman probably has “BLM / xey xertarded pronouns / NO WHITES / NOT A RACIST / Vaccinated / Trans Surgery at 2 years old” in her twitter bio.
Also anti genocide
Tell us you’re a yank without telling us. Probably still think your last election was rigged.
This woman will look back at her life, her kids will look back and so will her grand kids with pride as she stood against these monsters
She means the “genocide” of Hamas. 🤣
The only people in the world on Israel’s side are apocalyptic Christians, servants of empire, and Zionists.
The amount of people who actually support Israel is only like 100 million. Billions are against it, and soon Israel will no longer exist…due to their own barbarity.
I want to say to the investigation team into Israeli crimes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Turkiye and Russia… you are great, you can easily enter important Israeli sites..Take recordings from CCTV, video recordings of communication devices, and landlines. Not only that, we have handed over recordings of Israeli crimes to the genocide investigation team, including a group chat which contains thousands of video recordings, sounds and important documents regarding these crimes. Thank you for exposing American companies involved in this genocide, including delivery services for illegal Israeli immigrants from America, Canada and European countries..
Now for Israël, the whole world is anti/ seme/ tic. May be tomorrow they will blame God to be anti sem itic as well.
Sadly I agree !
Expert bigot as per France, Germany and the US 😊
AND SHE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 💯 👏👏👏👏👏
Yes
Unrwa is hamas and UN is father to Hamas

Netanyahu and Poo-tin need to be in jail. In isolation.
aah un whos unwra division was complict om oct 7 , theres no genocide you denebted erroyist supoorter , seek help instesd of the devil
Marxist lout with no knowledge of the situation on the ground in Gaza, spouts off her agenda. For example, where is her eyewitness body count, and out of that, how many are Hamas gunmen? She counted these bodies? Her staff did? Okay, she took Hamas numbers as real.
Natanyahu should be in international criminal court for war crimes
Seeing truth is not anti-Semitism
Great respect to this woman.
Biden should be ashamed for continuing to arm this genocide.
You are a liar
The real genocide is here caused by Islamic terrorism
But you do nothing

Israel is a curse, not a state
Biased opinions rather than facts gathering!
As a Christian I see antisemitism often in many forms. There was never a Palestinian people, they are Arabs and no other Arab countries want them in to sow division.
Guilty!!!
We can see it every day ourselves. It is unbelievable that there are still people denying genocide. We will not forget where you stood in these brutal days and these crimes against humanity.
Is a televised Genocide in Gaza! Can you imagine if journalists were allowed to freely report?
The UN has long harboured terrorists. No surprise what they’ve done recently!
There’s been multiple times that Canada was excluded!
And that was back when Canada was a peaceful nation!!!
It will be interesting to see what west is going to learn from this UN representative’s investigation. Remembarable that she is not from Russia, China or any Arab countries but from a solid western country. Will her speech will be able the champions of “humanity, peace and democracy” to wake up and see the honest truth unbiasedly?
There’s about 2.1 million Israeli Arabs living in Israel proper. Not to be confused with Arabs living in what are called Palestine territories ( Gaza + W. Bank ). Both whose populations have experienced substantial growth.
The growth rate in the W. Bank and Gaza are 3.4% and 4%, respectively. Both being some of the highest growth rates on the planet. I’m not certain what the metrics are that determine if a genocide is or has been taking place. I might be going out on a limb here but I’ll just assume robust growth rates in populations is not one of them.
LOL.Raffa next. But thats war.@Yup-ln2dt
And she will investigate all countries that are complicit.
Isreal has twisted and abused the english word anti-semetic.
She is brave, but we did not need an expert telling us that. It was obvious despite the US denying it.
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 Without lies the UN dies.
Nobody cares enough about the Palestinians to want to erase them from the planet. Where is the story of their supposed “persecution”? Palestinians are a group of people with different cultures and languages. They have never constituted a nation. Ever! Israel is the nation with the longest history of genocidal attacks against them by different pagan groups throughout its ancient history. The most recent being in WWII and now with Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. Why? It’s all because of religious reasons. It has always been about religion. Judaism vs Islam.
Mrs. Albanese is literally just stating the facts that everybody can look up anywhere, where history is recorded. This does NOT include however zionist fairytales from – let’s just call them – less then scholarly folks. But apparently those are the only available “sources” in Israel, so stating undisputed facts is – of course – antisemitic according to the zionazis.
What about Hamas? Maybe she has misunderstood who is who in Gaza?
Duh
Any country that love palestinians can take them.
Hi I have been taught to be scared to speak my mind if it goes against anyone of power but here I am . The situation in Palestine is the second holocaust and this time it’s the Palestinians suffering
Has UN asked themselves who started that war first that lead Israel declared war on them . Second question why didn’t UN expert says Russia too is committing genocide , is it Russia is too big for you to handle ?
UN officials are paid off to say what the enemies of Israel want them to say.
I’m surprised NBC would show this finally reporting events that matter.
Was it just on their YouTube platform?
United States Of Genocide
n.b.c. “nuthin but collusion”. lol.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict could have been resolved in 1948 but US interests did not think that a quick resolution would help their bottom-line.
Democracy brought us Hamas, Truman ( who burned alive tens of thousands of kids in Hiroshima and Nagaski ) and democracy brought us Hitler. Its time for people to open their “eyes” to see that we need to replace democracy with a better system that truly cares about the average citizen and not profit from a militarized world.
The new system is called an intellectocracy (link below ) .
Under-funding programs that protect the health of the American people is due to hard earned taxpayers’ money going to the most powerful entity in the world.
Due to the enormous influence of the most powerful entity in the world, numerous projects are under-funded in the US, including not adequately funding projects that could resolve conflicts with all our so-called enemies.
Why do we call them “so-called enemies” ?
because conflicts take years or even decades to develop and so
there is plenty of time to make peace, for example, the attacks on 9/11/01 were the result of 100 years of violent policies in the Middle East, similar to over 100 years of Native American terrorism due to the violent policies of the US government in colonial America starting in 1776.
According to Wikileaks, we know that when classified programs of the CIA financially back any terrorist group or dictator, the terrorist group or dictator do our bidding and if our bidding is that they do not use our finances to buy more weapons and that they make peace with all their enemies, that is what the terrorist group or dictator will do but sadly
the CIA is not in the business of asking terrorist groups or dictators (on the classified CIA payroll) to either stop buying more weapons or make peace with enemies because the CIA is not interested in peace but more interested in the annual 1.2 trillion dollar looting of the US treasury (base defense budget plus all the other budgets that support the warfare complex) because
the CIA is part of the US warfare complex and will not do anything to jeopardize the looting of the US treasury by trying to create peace in the world.
Even in cancer research, there is lack of funding in peer-reviewed medical research, putting at jeopardy the health of the average American.
Even though we have a 34 trillion dollar deficit, we have nothing much to show for it, as our infrastructure crumbles. More than 45,000 U.S. bridges and 1 in 5 miles of roads are in poor condition, per the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The present 34 trillion dollar debt is impossible to pay back or even audit since the Pentagon has failed every audit since the Pentagon started auditing in 2018 and since its inception in 1943 nobody knows how much of the American peoples’ money has been stolen since we know war profiteering started in 1777.
Just before the attacks on 9/11/01, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld said that $2.3 trillion dollars of hard earned taxpayers money could not be accounted for in the Pentagon and in 2023,
the Pentagon could not account for 63% of nearly $4 trillion in assets, failing every audit since it agreed to be audited in 2018.
When did deficits start ? in 1783 and most of which went to the warfare complex, specifically during the Revolutionary War in 1783 and that deficit has kept growing through the centuries to the present day conflicts (2024) and today
we experience the lack of funding in numerous projects.
Why the lack of funding ? 1/3 of your hard earned taxes go to the warfare complex which amounts to 1.2 trillion a year ( base budget plus all the other budgets supporting the warfare complex).
The warfare complex directs its puppets in the US government to prioritize the flow of resources to itself and everything else is secondary and the result is
an utter failure of democracy to promote the health, wellbeing and safety of the average American as was seen on 9/11/01 when the US government was not able to prevent the attacks on 9/11/01.
The terrorists were able to use a 1/2 million dollar budget to defeat the tens of trillions spent on so-called defense in the 10 years leading up to 9/11/01, most of which went to the rich and powerful.
Even though 22 veterans commit suicide daily on average, the warfare complex has a knack for getting the poor, the powerless and the vulnerable to join the military, all in the name of patriotism, honor, duty and love of country, while the rich and powerful “laugh all the way to the bank”.
Violence or war is not the solution but a different form of government in the US that does not cater to special interests and I can assure you that if the kids of US pro-war politicians are the first ones to be drafted to the front-lines, US pro-war politicians will be “tripping over each other” to make peace with the so-called enemy.
What is the alternative to the failure of democracy ? here is the solution: https://worldpeacethroughworldwidedisarmament.blogspot.com/2013/07/part-one-911-attacks-could-have-been.html
Wow
#Gaza #Israel #UnitedNations not expert at finding israeli hostages..
Israeli Netanyahu with US Biden committing massive Genocidal crimes in Gaza.
Words are eloquently spoken, but cheap in a complicit government. While the world waits. Famin and bombs are used as methods of genocide. BOYCOTT ISREAL.

BOYCOTT ISREAL BOYCOTT AIPAC BOYCOTT ISREAL LOBY UK. products are replaceable humanity isn’t.
There may be a possibility? How about it’s freaking obvious and israel is the one who started the conflict!
Only for 76 years!
How is Israel committing genocide when the population in Gaza has virtually doubled in the last 10 years. The current conflict was the result of Hamas launching an attack on Israeli civilians and butchering 1400 of them……….don’t you just love the “blame the victim” mentality of the UN and its antisemitic bunch of countries. which sit on their arses passing judgement whilst muslim countries practice, FMG, apostasy, death by stoning , where a woman cannot go out unaccompanied , where a woman cannot work or drive, where female children are denied education………………its enough to make you weep!
if you were even slightly educated youd know why the population doubled
‘The World’s Failure’ – no this is the United States’ failure and entirely theirs. This could have been stopped months ago, but the US government is almost entirely bought out by AIPAC – the rests are Zionists. Where’s your democracy America?
