"Like many women in Israel, I have also experienced a rude feminist awakening during this war. I’ve lost Palestinian comrades who did not like my condemnation of Hamas’ violence against Israeli women on October 7, and I’ve lost Jewish friends who regarded women in Gaza as legitimate targets.

"After some painful reflection, I’ve come to learn the strength and courage we women must cultivate to unequivocally denounce any violence against a woman’s body as abhorrent, whether" the aggressor is Palestinian or Israelian.

“The United Nations Human Rights Council has voted to extend Francesca Albanese’s mandate as Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories for another three years, despite sustained pressure from pro-Israel governments and advocacy groups, including the United States.

“The decision came on Friday, during the final session of the UNHRC’s 58th meeting in Geneva. Albanese will now continue in her role through 2028.”

“... Albanese has repeatedly accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and genocide in her reports and public statements, drawing praise from human rights advocates and ire from Israeli officials and their allies.”

“One of the most vocal campaigns against her has been led by UN Watch, … accusing her of promoting antisemitism and ‘terrorism’ in her capacity…”

#Israel ist am 6. Februar 2025 aus dem UN-Menschenrechtsrat (UNHRC) ausgetreten. Dies gab der israelische Außenminister Gideon Sa'ar auf Shitter bekannt.

Gründe unter anderem:

Sie folgen dem Beispiel der USA! Israel folgt mit dem Austritt dem Beispiel der USA, die sich bereits 2018 aus dem UNHRC zurückgezogen hatten.

Und: Israel wurde vom UNHRC in mehr als 100 Resolutionen verurteilt, mehr als Iran, Kuba, Nordkorea und Venezuela zusammen.

Leute ... und dieses Jahr fängt gerade erst an! Ächz!

US President Donald Trump is expected, on Tuesday, to stop US engagement with the United Nations Human Rights Council and continue a halt to funding for the UN Palestinian Relief Agency, UNRWA, a White House official said on Monday.

The move coincides with a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin #Netanyahu, who has long been critical of #UNRWA, accusing the Agency of anti-Israel incitement.
