Book by UN Rapporteur condemns Israeli genocide in Gaza

UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has condemned Israeli genocide in Gaza in her newly released book, which was presented on Thursday at the European Union representative office in the Italian capital, Rome.

The book is entitled ‘Je Accuse’ a French expression which in English means "I accuse".

The book directs sharp criticism against Israel and the West for what has been going on in Palestine for over 70 years, with a focus on the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

It's the entire, almost entire body of Special Rapporteurs, independent experts of the United Nations, legal experts, who have denounced, first, the risk of genocide, then, the serious risk of genocide, and then, one month and something into the assault on Gaza, the fact that the genocide was unfolding.

Francesca Albanese has been under the scrutiny of most mainstream media outlets as well as the International Zionist community since her appointment at the UN in 2022.

She is being accused by Israel and its accomplices of extreme bias against Tel Aviv.

The international community has to be held accountable for supporting Israel in its massacre. Today is a historic day, the International Court of Justice started a hearing on South Africa's genocide charge against Israel. Many other countries are backing South Africa's move

The book by Francesco Albanese took shape from three UN reports compiled by her in a span of a year from October 2022.

  Israeli oppression of Palestinians may constitute apartheid: Former UN chief

  Former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says the Israeli regime’s violence and violation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories may constitute apartheid.

The reports showed that Israeli authorities were committing apartheid and unspeakable violence against the Palestinians warning that international law was being profoundly undermined.

During the book launch, the issue of European countries continuing to tighten restrictions on funding of Palestinian NGOs and legal organizations was also raised.

Over the past month, the European Commission has put its humanitarian aid portfolio to support Palestine under review, which is worth around €700 million.

Of course, it's a crucial issue, but it also gives the sense of the moral compass of certain European states, but the majority of European countries, the majority, and eventually the European Union, is taking measures against the humanitarian system which is now more central, more necessary than ever, which are immoral.[sic]

More than 23,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed, with thousands more missing and presumed dead under the rubble.
