December 16, 2022 | Justin Amler

Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate the human rights situation in the “occupied Palestinian territories” wants us to believe she is an unbiased, impartial observer… [But] her past social media posts which appear to spread classical antisemitic tropes have gotten in the way.

Either way, the Iranian submission to Australia’s inquiry is itself a strong argument for serious sanctions against Iran.
