Rabat – UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese took to X earlier today to denounce the ongoing genocide in Gaza, calling the Palestinian enclave “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century.”
The Israeli campaign in Gaza is “genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time,” Albanese highlighted, adding that this is happening “with US and European weapons.”
This slaughter is occurring “amid the indifference of all ‘civilised nations,’” said the UN official, begging Palestinians to “forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.”
The statements by Albanese came after Israel’s devastating attack on a school in Gaza city, where an estimated 100 people were killed during prayer time at the school. The victims were mostly women and children.
Albanese appeared to have reached a limit in her usual diplomatic language after the shocking bombing of another school in the devastated city of Gaza.
This afternoon she posted again, after the US approved another massive sale of offensive weapons and it waived sanctions on the IDF’s notorious Netzah Yehuda battalion which continues to inflict horrendous human rights violations in the occupied West Bank.
Albanese directly targeted American citizens over their country’s complicity in the genocide.
“I wonder how U.S. taxpayers, often juggling multiple jobs just to make ends meet, feel about their government neglecting them while relentlessly funding the systematic oppression—and now #genocide,” she wrote. Albanese added that the Palestinian people are “ultimately guilty of living on land claimed by others by divine right.”
She continued by addressing American Christians, the demographic most supportive of Israel, writing “as someone born and raised Christian, I also wonder how self-proclaimed Christians reconcile their faith with the daily slaughter of innocent children.”
Yesterday, Albanese took to X to condemn Israeli assassinations across the region, highlighting the long history of Israel’s “extrajudicially killings and murders,” calling them“an act of aggression.”
“Israel’s history of targeted assassinations (of mostly Palestinians) in Palestine and abroad, is long and can no longer remain unaccounted for. Independent and transparent investigations and accountability must be part of the road to peace,” Francesca Albanese wrote.
