Fatima Bhutto meets Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on Palestine turned internet idol, who has become a 'reluctant chronicler of genocide.'
Excellent profile of Francesca Albanese, who has spoken so eloquently against the ongoing genocide. I have great admiration for her integrity and dedication.
Great reporting, great writing. The sole mission of UN Watch, run by Hillel Neuer, is to destroy UNRWA. Hillel Neuer is from Canada and that 'reporter' who asked the ridiculous rage bait question "Does Israel have the right to exist?" is also from Canada.
Israel owns Canada - the media, the politicians and the public discourse. You're simply not allowed to say the word gencocide because, as the CBC puts it, "The ICJ has yet to rule that it is a genocide". To even criticise Israel is anti-Semitic.
This makes no sense to me. It's embarrassing to say I am Canadian.
@Fatima Bhutto Thank you for superb timely piece on Francesca Albanese, not only an “Internet star,” but more importantly, a brilliant passionate human being who is using her UN SR mandate as a powerful platform to speak truth to power, backed up by recommendations for concrete actions we (all of us) can take. Her generous shout-out to some of the most eloquent Palestinian writers and
activists today is a call to listen, to read, and to act.
Thank you for this profile of Francesca Albanese. I greatly admire her courage and determination in speaking out about the horrendous atrocities that the Israeli government has committed in Gaza. I've lost all faith in the so-called commitment to human rights espoused by the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, and Australia! I am also astonished by the number of US universities who appear to have lost any commitment to free speech and human rights!
Thank you for this Albanese is a force of nature... such a beautiful article..thank you I would have never known what a force she is without this article
Brava! Great piece, Ms. Bhutto, great women, both of you. It's inspiring to me to see the refusal of Ms. Albanese to be cowed, and I share her passionate love for justice.
What disturbs me almost as much as the genocide itself is the way the rest of the world just watches, and does nothing.

I mean, at least you’re not American….. I am ashamed of being American…. ❤️
I agree, we are supposed to stand for acceptance and peace. Wtf are we doing supporting Israel?

Chris Hedges has referred to the ongoing suppression of support for Palestinians on U S and other campuses as an "academic gulag."
My utmost respect to this lady.
We are all required to speak up and stand up to power. Francesca Albanese is one of the heroes of our time.
Amazing!!! Thank you. She’s one of my genuine heroes.
Francesca is an amazing and bold person. Appreciate her courage and efforts to spread the truth!!

Thank you both for your strength against the bullies who are still 'winning' but also failing in so many more ways
She is a hero in our times
