The United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese has been relentlessly attacked and smeared – as ‘antisemitic’, of course – by Israeli mouthpieces and supporters for fearlessly exposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and for refusing to bow to Israel’s coordinated pressure.
But she is admired and respected by those who oppose the genocide and Israel’s ceaseless war crimes against Palestinian (and Lebanese) civilians, including the many non- and anti-Zionist Jews who have told Israel that it is not committing its crimes in their name. One, Stephen Kapos – pictured above with Ms Albanese during her recent speech at SOAS in London – said of her:
Francesca is a hero of all of us for her brave stand against the Gaza genocide!
Like Ms Albanese, Stephen and other Jewish anti-genocide activists are relentlessly smeared by pro-Israeli propagandists, often with the foul term ‘self-hating Jew’ on the twisted and profoundly antisemitic ‘logic’ – aided and abetted by UK ‘mainstream’ media’ – that any Jewish person who loves himself or herself would support the suppression and extermination of the Palestinian people.
Skwawkbox stands in solidarity with Francesca Albanese, Jewish anti-Zionists and all who oppose war crimes, occupation, racism, imperialism and the collusion of the British government in them.

‘Schindler-Albanese’ I understand why a good man like Stephen Kapos would see her like that.
An Italian international lawyer whose humanitarian zeal, her legal credentials and capabilities are gargantuan and against which those of our ‘forensic’ Prime Minister are sadly-lacking OR WORSE. Albanese :
“has been critical of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories and recommended in her first report that UN member states develop a plan to end the occupation and apartheid. After the 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, Albanese called for an immediate ceasefire and warned that Palestinians in Gaza were at risk of ethnic cleansing. On 26 March 2024, Albanese reported to the UN Human Rights Council that Israel’s actions in Gaza amounted to genocide.”. (wikipedia)
