Another Full & Official Report on the Palestinian Genocide Has Just Been Published.
"We MUST Intervene!" Francesca cries.
Yet, this report may default to merely entering the historical record now, more than anything else.
This document by Francesca Albanese, a lawyer and the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian Territory (since 1967), details everything that has taken place since October 7, 2023. Albanese has been speaking out, giving talks, tweeting and writing about all this. And expectedly, she has been harassed, insulted and censored by those with power to suppress the full truth.
She has this pinned on her Twitter homepage:

Yet, this document, together with those by the International Court of Justice, will preserve for posterity and history the astonishingly rampant murders wantonly committed by the Israelis, perpetrated most massively (but not exclusively) against the Gaza Palestinians.
Albanese lays out clearly and fully the facts showing how Israel’s actions and words on Gaza rise to the level of genocide. She closes the report with recommendations for action by the world’s governments.
Below is the unsurprising response by that soulless ghoul who represents the US government at the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield:

AN EXCELLENT CONVERSATION:
Francesca discusses the report and the whole context of these events with Chris Hedges.
Genocide as Colonial Erasure (w/ Francesca Albanese) | The Chris Hedges Report

(My only reservation here: the so-called “Jewish Holocaust” that we have all been told about endlessly ever since the 1960s sorely needs to be re-examined by everyone, including Albanese and Hedges. So many continue refer to it as a kind of “gold standard” by which to measure all other extreme cruelties by people against other people.)
Read the whole document. It runs to some thirty pages, but the text itself that long, really. It’s not an easy read by any means.
This, of course, is too late to save the tens, likely hundreds, of thousands who have been killed, maimed, rendered homeless, starved — all while being bombarded by deadly cluster-bombs and constantly attacked by drones day and night.
And it has been happening while the governments of the world look on. And a few governments (US, UK, Germany, etc.) aiding and abetting the inhuman creatures in Israel in their clear program of mass murder, maiming, starvation and thirst, and theft of farms, houses and land.
Save for the Yemenis — one of the poorest nations on earth — who have been able to cause a jam in the Red Sea shipping lanes. (I wonder if certain superpowers who prefer to remain hidden right now are aiding the Yemenis in this.)
When the time ever comes to mete out justice in this temporal world, Israel will be facing a whole lot of assiduously documented charges against them. Yet, by that time (if it ever comes), that artificial state may cease to exist in the form that we know it today.
The Curse of the Eight Decade may yet come to pass to destroy it, and Israelis have only themselves to blame. I cannot think of a more depraved and evil people than them in our time. There are no more excuses — none whatsoever — for what they have been doing to the Palestinians.
And when they enter the next life without repenting for their sins, they will need to pray to God to grant mercy upon their souls.
I found myself mentally nodding vigorously to "(My only reservation here: the so-called “Jewish Holocaust” that we have all been told about endlessly ever since the 1960s sorely needs to be re-examined by everyone, including Albanese and Hedges.

From a semantic verbiage point of view, there are couple ways to reclaim the word holocaust. We could use it without qualification to refer to the ongoing Gaza genocide and not be apologetic about it. We could also use it willy-nilly to refer to all other genocides such as the chruchill-inflicted Bengal famine of 1942 where upwards of 3M folks perished. Or the American supported German genocide and rape of at least 1M Germans post-world war2 etc. That way we first remove jews' ability to use that word for themselves alone.
This is an important interview, which I hope is watched widely. Francesca's frankness and honesty are refreshing - or would be if the subject matter weren't so dire.
Which is why I'm reluctant to address the subject of *The Holocaust", the primacy of Jewish Suffering and their eternal innocence. - Things in which Francesca Albanese obviously genuinely believes,
I'm pleased she's not of the "vengeful, jealous, genocidal god" cult which seems to define so many of her fellow Jews (not to absolve a culpable West for it's part in so many atrocities).
But supremacism is supremacism, even when it's the supremacy of ones, or ones group's, perceived suffering.
That's why I'd like to gently remind the very lovely Ms Albanese that many tens of millions of souls lost their lives during that bloodiest, and most lied about, war in human history. Each of whom had families that suffered as a result
Thank you (and you Mr Hedges) for speaking out. 🙏💚🇵🇸
