‘Unhinged’: Israel, Irish Jews slam comments by UN’s Albanese to Ireland’s parliament
[IsraelTimes] Controversial UN rapporteur claims Palestinians are ‘raped by dogs trained in European countries,’ says ‘Israel has always killed children’; Foreign Ministry rejects ‘vile lies’

A group representing Irish Jews and Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Friday separately condemned the UN special rapporteur for the Paleostinians, Francesca Albanese, for inflammatory remarks she made this week to the Irish parliament.

Albanese has a history of antisemitism and regularly makes bad boy comments about Israel and Jews, while she says she is a champion for Paleostinian rights and an opponent of discrimination.

Albanese told the Irish parliament’s Committee on European Affairs this week, "Israel has always killed children, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, the use of torture, even rape."

"It’s destroying the people, the living. You know it when you read the testimonies of people who have been tortured, have been raped, raped by dogs trained in European countries," she said, apparently referencing allegations made in a New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

column earlier this year, which Israel unequivocally rejected as "blood libel."

"European people are profiting from selling dogs that will rape people. This is abysmal, and instead of having a system using our rule of law to prevent this, there are people who are in jail for denouncing the system," she claimed.

Albanese did not offer any source or evidence for the allegations.

She demanded that the Irish government "show its spine" in opposition to Israel.

In response, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said Albanese was "an unhinged conspiracy theorist consumed by her obsessive hatred of Israel."

"Her vile lies and grotesque accusations are a disgrace to the UN," it said.

The Jewish Representative Council of Ireland also condemned Albanese and the Irish parliament, known as the Oireachtas, for hosting her.

"She dismissed documented antisemitism against Irish Jews on national radio, then appeared before an Oireachtas committee making a series of outrageous, unsubstantiated allegations," the council said.

"Not one demand for evidence. Not one challenge to her most shocking claims. Instead, she got praise, admiration and smiling photographs," the statement said.

Hillel Neuer, the head of the pro-Israel watchdog group UN Watch, said in a statement directed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
, "You allowed this barking mad lunatic and her friends to bring the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
into disrepute."

The Irish foreign minister, Helen McEntee, meanwhile, hailed her meeting with Albanese, saying, "Ireland will not forget about Paleostine and will continue to stand up for the UN."

Ireland has been among the most outspoken critics of Israel’s military campaign against terror groups in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Dublin recognized a Paleostinian state in 2024. Soon after, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar ordered the closure of the Israeli embassy in Dublin, blaming Ireland’s "extreme anti-Israel policies" and spiking antisemitism.

The country has pushed for sanctions and boycotts of Israel. Earlier this month, the Irish soccer team took a series of steps to protest having to play against Israel, including bowing their heads at the Israeli anthem and refusing to shake hands with the Israeli players.
