Francesca Albanese is a fervent anti-Zionist. Not coincidentally, she’s also the U.N. special rapporteur dedicated to advancing false allegations against Israel.

Albanese recently delivered a speech that would have been rapturously received by the Columbia University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. Her defamatory statements about Israel were uttered at an October 30 event blessed by the United Nations and officially convened by a little-known body at the U.N. — the “Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People” (CEIRPP).
