In the entire report, not one word was mentioned about Palestinian terror attacks. Not one word about incitement or glorification of terror in Palestinian media and schools. In fact, in a two year period when more Israeli civilians are being murdered than at any time since 2008, their deaths are utterly absent from Albanese's report.
There is not even a pretense of impartiality - no paragraph buried inside the report sayin, oh by the way, armed militias are popping up in Jenin and Nablus and Hebron, or a pro-forma declaration that Israel has the right to defend itself. Nothing,
Jews are simply not human to the UN Human Rights Council.
So naturally, Hamas has heartily endorsed this report.
Hamas issued a press release:
We hail the speech of Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories at the UN Human Rights Council.In her speech, Albanese shed light on the Israeli crimes and violations against the Palestinian people that have turned the occupied Palestinian territories into an open-air prison where all forms of discrimination and apartheid are exercised against the Palestinian people.
Yes, an internationally recognized terror group fully supports the work of the UN Human Rights Council and its Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. And why not? She has nothing negative to say about Hamas, or Islamic Jihad, or the Lion's Den. On the contrary, she says they have the "right" to "resist." All of her criticism is towards the only state in the region that actually prioritizes human rights.
The phrase "human rights" has become self-parody.
