Francesca Albanese is coming here to legitimize hatred against Jews and the Jewish state

Italian international lawyer and academic Francesca Albanese, who was appointed United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestines in 2022, will visit Canada for a "campus tour" in the coming days.
Italian international lawyer and academic Francesca Albanese, who was appointed United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestines in 2022, will visit Canada for a "campus tour" in the coming days.
Francesca Albanese is a fetching Italian woman. She’s telegenic and elegant. She’s also an international lawyer, an academic, and she holds a PhD in International Refugee Law. She has many academic awards and distinctions.
She is also a bigot.
Albanese’s title, presently, is the United Nations’ “special rapporteur” on Palestine.
In reality, however, she is not just an advocate for Palestinians, she’s also an advocate against Jews and the Jewish state, and she devotes herself energetically to that unwritten part of her job description.
Notably, she is coming to Canada in the next few days. Albanese is conducting a “campus tour,” says Eventbrite, which is promoting her little jaunt.
One of the sponsors of her excursion to the colonies is Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). In a detailed lawsuit filed against SJP in Virginia’s District Court in May, survivors of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival massacre describe SJP as the “mouthpiece for [Hamas in] North America, dedicated to sanitizing Hamas’ atrocities and normalizing its terrorism.”
So, that is who is one of the sponsors of Albanese’s visit here – a group that oversaw multiple antisemitic campus occupations across Canada, and which itself has called the Oct. 7 attack,wherein 1,200 Israeli civilians were slaughtered, 250 were taken hostage, and more than 100 woman and girls raped, “a historic win for Palestinian resistance.”
That’s who Francesca Albanese is hanging out with when she gets to Canada.
In the coming days, you will be hearing lots of debate about the Special Rapporteur for Judeophobia being welcomed at our places of higher learning. Fair-minded people, Jewish and non-Jewish, will attempt to stop her campus tour. But they will likely fail, because the parlour room bigots who run many of our universities will invoke “free speech” as a defence.
So, let’s look at that, shall we? How has Francesca Albanese exercised her free speech?
Hillel Neuer, the brilliant leader of U.N. Watch (and a Canadian), recently issued a compendious report on Albanese and her statements about Jews and the Jewish state.
Here’s just a sampling:
– “America is subjugated by the Jewish lobby.” Just seven words, there, but that sentence packs an impressive antisemitic punch, doesn’t it? Jews depicted as a cunning and manipulative foreign force: check. Jews dismissed as a grubby lobby group, and not human beings: check. Jews exercising limitless invisible powers – Jewish laser beams come to mind – over hapless North Americans: check. It’s all there. Albanese says what she means, and means what she says.
– The victims of Oct. 7 were “not killed because of their Judaism,” Albanese tut-tutted French President Emmanuel Macron in February, but because of Hamas’ “reaction to Israel’s oppression.” In that one, Albanese not only disrespected a G7 leader who helps to pay her fat six-figure salary (with big benefits, natch), she also clearly justified Hamas’ genocidal attack on Jewish and non-Jewish civilians. That sounds a lot like an indictable offence in Canada – section 318 of the Criminal Code, to wit, advocating or promoting genocide. If a Canadian said that, they’d get prosecuted. Albanese, however, is getting the red carpet.
– Albanese has called Gaza “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st Century.” In that one, Albanese did two things. One, she committed Holocaust inversion – she accused Jews, who are the literal victims of Naziism, of being Nazi-like themselves. Two, she lied. The U.S. Population Research Bureau has said this: “The Palestinian population growth rate is among the highest in the world.” Life expectancy there, says the Bureau, is “high.” Meanwhile, Palestine’s population growth outstrips Israel’s by 35%. If that’s a genocidal Nazi-like concentration camp, Francesca, it’s not a very effective one.
– Albanese actually participated in an official conference of Hamas, which is a listed terrorist entity in Canada. Yes, she did that, by video in November 2022. She told the assembled mass-murderers: “You have the right to resist this occupation.” She went on: “An occupation requires violence and generates violence.
There’s more – lots more – but you get the drift.
Francesca Albanese is a bigot who openly justifies violence and acts of terror. That’s offensive, and an offence. Canadian immigration law permits us to bar people who are likely to come here to commit an offence – we’ve successfully done so against neo-Nazis in the past.
We should do so likewise with Francesca Albanese. She is coming here to legitimize hatred against Jews and the Jewish state.
Kick her out.

Ex-Israeli government official says antisemitism in Canada 'out of control'
Canada's insistence on funding UNRWA emboldens anti-Israel activists, former government spokesperson says
Author of the article:Bryan Passifiume
Published Nov 04, 2024 • 3 minute read
OTTAWA — As he attempted to speak with students at the University of Calgary last week, masked anti-Israel activists pounded on the doors shouting “Allahu akbar!”
That was the scene that greeted former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy on Halloween during a cross-country speaking tour that he said exposed him to the true nature of Canada’s pressure cooker of largely tolerated antisemitism and hatred against Jews.
“That crosses the line from any sort of political protest into a full-on Jihadi war cry,” Levy told the Toronto Sun of his experience in Calgary.
“Jewish students feel, I would say, a little bit betrayed because they feel that they are standing up not only for themselves and to make a safe environment for Jewish students, but for everyone else.”
Few forget the months of anti-Israel rallies on university campuses across Canada earlier this year as activists and university students established pro-Palestinian no-go zones — protest encampments largely tolerated by university administration that some said allegedly fomented harassment and discrimination against Jewish students, while barring entry to Jews and those who didn’t agree with the protesters’ views.
“Jewish students are feeling extremely intimidated and scared — I spoke with one father who said his son was considering whether he even wants to apply to the U of T this year or reconsider altogether,” Levy said.
“An atmosphere in which the entire campus yard is taken over by pro-Hamas protests is not a safe environment for Jewish students.”
Levy’s speaking tour is facilitated by StandWithUs Canada, a non-profit dedicated to fighting antisemitism and misinformation in schools and communities.
Last year’s Hamas terror attacks in Israel sparked an explosion of antisemitism in Canada with pro-Palestinian rallies taking over city streets and university campuses and even marches through some of Toronto’s Jewish neighbourhoods.
While by no means unique to this country, Levy said Canada’s antisemitism problem is especially severe.
“We’ve seen the same thing in the U.S., definitely in London and increasingly in Australia, but the situation in Canada feels out of control because there is a sense that either the government isn’t taking them seriously or through their actions encouraging them.”
Canada, Levy said, is emboldening these activists through their insistence on funding UNRWA, a contentious UN organization accused of having links to Hamas.
“Canadian taxpayers need to realize that most of the Oct. 7 terrorists went to Canadian taxpayer-funded schools,” Levy said.
“This is a shocking indictment of Canadian foreign policy. Funding for UNRWA exacerbates the conflict because it fuels the Palestinians’ forever war against Israel; instead of resettling refugees from 1948, it uniquely hands out that refugee status through generations.”
Canada’s funding of UNRWA, he said, does little but facilitate the radical indoctrination of children, empowers Hamas to hijack aid shipments into Gaza and drags out the conflict.
Canada’s anti-Israel movement, Levy said, is an “increasingly deranged, hateful and violent protest movement” that runs on disinformation and intimidation.
“It’s being fuelled by lies about the defensive war that Israel is fighting on seven fronts and when the Canadian government does not give Israel its full-throated support in eliminating the terrorist organization that perpetrated the Oct. 7 massacre, it would seem to entertain the protesters’ claims against Israel that legitimizes their grievances.”

Ex-Israeli government official says antisemitism in Canada 'out of control'
Former government spokesperson Eylon Levy is doing a speaking tour with StandWithUs Canada, a non-profit dedicated to fighting antisemitism.
I am not antisemitic.
I am not even anti-zionist.
But commenting on and criticizing Israel for its actions does not make me either of those automatically. It means I hold Israel to the same standard as I do any other country; swap out Israel and Palestinians and replace it with another country - China and Uyghurs for example - I would be just as critical.
Replace Canada with Israel and the Palestinians with some other people (Say Native Canadians), it'd be the same.
And people need to realize that.
Not even close.
The Canadian State does not oppress, beat, and kill women and does not hang gays.
But if we did, I would say the same thing.
If they want that ideology here, hunt them into extinction.
I don't much care. He was just a guy who lived a couple of thousand years ago.
A few days after the American election? Probably a coincidence.
The most prominent Islamic scholar in Gaza has issued a rare, powerful fatwa condemning Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered the devastating war in the Palestinian territory.
Professor Dr Salman al-Dayah, a former dean of the Faculty of Sharia and Law at the Hamas-affiliated Islamic University of Gaza, is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities, so his legal opinion carries significant weight among Gaza’s two million population, which is predominantly Sunni Muslim.
A fatwa is a non-binding Islamic legal ruling from a respected religious scholar usually based on the Quran or the Sunnah - the sayings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad.
Dr Dayah’s fatwa, which was published in a detailed six-page document, criticises Hamas for what he calls “violating Islamic principles governing jihad”.
Jihad means “struggle” in Arabic and in Islam it can be a personal struggle for spiritual improvement or a military struggle against unbelievers.
Dr Dayah adds: “If the pillars, causes, or conditions of jihad are not met, it must be avoided in order to avoid destroying people’s lives. This is something that is easy to guess for our country’s politicians, so the attack must have been avoided.”
For Hamas, the fatwa represents an embarrassing and potentially damaging critique, particularly as the group often justifies its attacks on Israel through religious arguments to garner support from Arab and Muslim communities.
The 7 October attack saw hundreds of Hamas gunmen from Gaza invade southern Israel. About 1,200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage.
Israel responded by launching a military campaign to destroy Hamas, during which more than 43,400 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Dr Dayah argues that the significant civilian casualties in Gaza, together with the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and humanitarian disaster that have followed the 7 October attack, means that it was in direct contradiction to the teachings of Islam.
Hamas, he says, has failed in its obligations of “keeping fighters away from the homes of defenceless [Palestinian] civilians and their shelters, and providing security and safety as much as possible in the various aspects of life... security, economic, health, and education, and saving enough supplies for them.”
Dr Dayah points to Quranic verses and the Sunnah that set strict conditions for the conduct of jihad, including the necessity of avoiding actions that provoke an excessive and disproportionate response by an opponent.
His fatwa highlights that, according to Islamic law, a military raid should not trigger a response that exceeds the intended benefits of the action.
He also stresses that Muslim leaders are obligated to ensure the safety and well-being of non-combatants, including by providing food, medicine, and refuge to those not involved in the fighting.
“Human life is more precious to God than Mecca,” Dr Dayah states.
His opposition to the 7 October attack is especially significant given his deep influence in Gaza, where he is seen as a key religious figure and a vocal critic of Islamist movements, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
His moderate Salafist beliefs place him in direct opposition to Hamas’s approach to armed resistance and its ties to Shia-ruled Iran.
Salafists are fundamentalists who seek to adhere the example of the Prophet Muhammad and the first generations who followed him.
Dr Dayah has consistently argued for the establishment of an Islamic caliphate that adheres strictly to Islamic law, rather than the political party-based systems that Hamas and other groups advocate.
“Our role model is the Prophet Muhammad, who founded a nation and did not establish political parties that divide the nation. Therefore, parties in Islam are forbidden,” he said in a sermon he gave at a mosque several years ago.
He has also condemned extremism, opposing jihadist groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda, and has used all of his platforms to issue fatwas on various social and political issues, ranging from commercial transactions, social disputes over marriage and divorce, to the conduct of political violence.
The fatwa adds to the growing internal debate within Gaza and the broader Arab world over the moral and legal implications of Hamas’s actions, and it is likely to fuel further divisions within Palestinian society regarding the use of armed resistance in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
Sheikh Ashraf Ahmed, one of Dr Dayah’s students who was forced to leave his house in Gaza City last year and flee to the south of Gaza with his wife and nine children, told the BBC: “Our scholar [Dr Dayah] refused to leave his home in northern Gaza despite the fears of Israeli air strikes. He chose to fulfil his religious duty by issuing his legal opinion on the attack”.
Ahmed described the fatwa as the most powerful legal judgment of a historical moment. “It’s a deeply well researched document, reflecting Dayah’s commitment to Islamic jurisprudence,” he said.

Bigots attacked Jews in Amsterdam. Racists. Real anti-semitic people.
Of course, that there is allegations that the fans of the Israeli team started it by tearing down property and beating up locals (Arab) would be ignored?
I think the worst thing of all is Netanyahu comparing this absolute bullshit to Kristallnacht is disgusting on so many levels.
It's horrible, it's fucking insane, but it was NOT Kristallnacht 2.0.
…& maybe it wasn’t Hamas, just regular folks with Palestinian flags hunting Jews or just fans for a Jewish team or an Israeli team or whatever….But it wasn’t as bad as the Nazis & Kristallnacht or the anti-gay purges in Chechnya…so boys will be boys. Non-issue. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Weird to see where the bar is set. Definitely not a pogrom so…
She shouldn’t have been giving mixed signals, dressing like that, and out late at night, in that neighbourhood, unescorted, etc…I hear you.
…with Palestinian flags, but that’s probably just a coincidence.
I’m sure these fans of a Jewish or Israeli soccer team where Zionists and influential masterminds of Israeli government decisions, giving mixed signals, dressed like that, and out late at night, in that neighbourhood, unescorted, etc…& spontaneously the gangs with Palestinian flags happened along ‘cuz plausibility.
I keep a couple in my emergency kit in my truck. You know, just in case like a tire jack, flashlight, Palestinian Flags, a candle, extra socks, gloves & such. It could happen…& retaliation to: “…allegations that the fans of the Israeli team started it by tearing down property and beating up locals (Arab) would be ignored?” Sort’a thing…
Now it has emerged that the attacks on the Jewish football fans were planned in advance and co-ordinated using WhatsApp and Telegram.
The Telegraph has seen messages from a group chat called Buurthuis, a Dutch word for a type of community centre, which were posted on Wednesday, the day before the match.
One message says: “Tomorrow after the game, at night, part 2 of the Jew Hunt.
“Tomorrow we work them.”

Yup. Nobody is tolerating the bullshit any longer.

Yes, you move along.
Weird to see you don't get context or, well, anything.
No, you don't.
Wow... even when I can agree with you, you're still a jerk.
Listen, I get you are totally with Israel and people who support it never doing ANYTHING wrong.
But really, pointing out that there are allegations that the Israeli fans may have started it doesn't make what happened to those same fans okay.
It's pointing out BOTH fucking sides are disgusting at this point.
I know, I know, you REALLY hate hearing/see/reading that.
Think you're including this in the wrong convo.

Though - and I never dreamed I'd post something like this - Sky News actually has probably one of the better short videos on this.
They actually report both fucking sides pushed this to happen.
But shh... there's no both sides when Israel is involved, right?
Since you continually play ignorant, let me be clear.
NEITHER SIDE IN THIS IS CLEAR, NEITHER SIDE IS DEVOID OF FAULT AND NEITHER SIDE HAS ANY EXCUSE FOR THIS BEHAVIOUR. Those who harmed people should get justice and then some, especially if it is based on race, or appearance of race.
You're right, it WASN'T Kristallnacht 2.0, I'm glad you at least see SOME sense in this finally.
Don't know why you keep bringing up Chechnya.
By definition, sure this was a progrom, didn't say it wasn't. Funny how you're only using it now and not in other instances of riots like it in the world. Almost like it doesn't matter unless it's focused on Israel/Jews? Or is it that it says "particularly" which means "but ONLY in the case of"?
At this point, I forgot that replying to anything with you on this topic is pointless.
I won't let that happen after this post.
No. It wasnt a pogrom or a crystal footballocaust nacht. Get a fucking grip.
A West Bank village being bulldozed by the IDF is a pogrom because its State sponsored or state condoned. That is what makes a pogrom a pogrom.
No.
Thank you?
That’s why I post links. The one citing this is in posts 4131 & 4133, but I get it.
Yep. That’s true, but what was it, & why?
Just trying to offer perspective that doesn’t just refer to Jews or Israel that seem to make some froth from the mouth (not saying you’re frothing from the mouth at the mention of Jews or Israel).
Followed by…
Nope. Exactly where I planned to put it with respect to the links above stating:
(See link in 4131 & 4133)
In a war zone, and it’s shitty, but that’s not Amsterdam. Sorry, Gaza is the war zone, & the West Bank is the West Bank taken back from Jordan after it was annexed, & that’s still got to be sorted out.
I’m sure the video is interesting, & I too enjoy Sky News out’a Australia for the same reason.
In a “yah but…” sort’a way. This thread happens to be:
(I really should check my messages more often)
In this thread I comment on Hamas attacks Israel and related things, & in other threads I comment on other things.
Do I, or should I, or should I have to, qualify every statement on this topic with “yah buts…” on every other topics as qualifiers?
Most Ravens games. . .Okay, what's a crystal footballocaust nacht and pogrom?
