Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur of the "occupied Palestinian territories," has a smoking gun in her quest to demonize Israel and to shut up her critics who accuse her of antisemitism.

She shows a video of an Israeli policeman abusing a Palestinian truck driver. She frames this as if it happens every day. She rhetorically asks,  "Do you think the policeman faced any consequences?"



The event happened over five years ago. It was widely publicized and condemned in Israel. The policeman was fired and charged with assault. 
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, who oversees the Israel Police, said the policeman’s behavior was “very grave and worthy of condemnation” in a post on his Twitter account last month.

In its statement Thursday, police said that “as was clarified immediately after the incident, this is an irregular and violent incident that is contrary to all the values of the Israel Police.

“This irregular incident is not only not in line with the values and commands of the police, but also damages the tens of thousands of policemen and -women who work day and night for the security of the citizens of the State of Israel with integrity and decency.”
Albanese tries to pretend that this is an everyday event in Israel. It obviously isn't. The Israeli public would not stand for it. The Israeli police would not stand for it. The Israeli government would not stand for it. And we know that from the outraged reactions from all of them in 2017.

Her dishonesty, and her spreading the lie that this is indeed normal, without even spending five minutes to research the incident, is indeed proof of her antisemitism. What else would you call someone who assumes the worst about Israeli Jews - and is clearly wrong?

Can you call it "anti-Zionism?" If so, that means that she admits that her "anti-Zionism" is irrational hate, based on prejudice, not facts. Which makes it just as evil as antisemitism, and then one would have to believe that it is a pure coincidence that anti-Zionism is emotionally and psychologically identical to antisemitism. (Her response to my charge of prejudice would no doubt be to bring up other instances of Israeli lapses, just as antisemites have a ready supply of examples of Jewish immorality - and just like antisemites, she would never consider her default position of assuming the worst to be anything but a reflection of reality.)

This was not the only notable thing about Albanese this weekend.

 She was also hosted by Palestine Chronicle in a discussion this weekend. Palestine Chronicle and its editor have a history of publishing antisemitism and support for terrorism, and even recently reports on Jews respectfully visiting the Temple Mount as "settlers breaking into Al Aqsa Mosque." 

Again, she didn't bother to research the newspaper hosting her talk - or maybe she did, and decided that it was an appropriate venue. 

Either way, Albanese cannot be considered objective when discussing Jews in Israel. And she proves it every day.

The director of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani, is upset at "the incitement of the Zionist enemy and the settlement groups against the Dome of the Rock which reflects their malicious intentions towards Jerusalem and the blessed mosque."

Religious Jews don't visit the Dome of the Rock, so how did they incite against it?

Because, according to Kiswani, a liquor company placed a picture of the Dome of the Rock on its packaging, 


As is often the case, Palestinian rumors resemble a game of telephone. The Dome of the Rock is indeed on a bottle of vodka - but it is made in Ukraine. Apparently, this was just discovered by a Palestinian man in Israel, who (according to some versions)  proceeded to destroy most of the bottles.

The photo used in the news stories isn't recent. I've seen it as far back as 2014. I cannot find any current version of the vodka by Soyuz-Victan with that label. So I'm not sure how this idea that Israel is trying to insult Muslims by placing the Dome of the Rock on forbidden alcoholic drinks came from.

However, there is an Israeli wine that shows a scene that includes the Temple Mount, that one can buy today.


Obviously, for this wine company, the artwork is meant to honor Jerusalem, not to insult Muslims. Anyone with two brain cells would know that.

But not Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani.

UPDATE: DigFind and Moiresmix found posts about Muslims insulted by the vodka bottle - -and blaming Israel - back in 2007!
