UN Rapporteur's 'Always Killed Children' Remark Echoes Historical Blood Libels

Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba

Center-rightInflammatory tone

English · 1 newsroom

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese's statement that "Israel has always killed children" is criticized as an antisemitic blood libel echoing historical accusations. The author contrasts Albanese's skepticism towards evidence of rape during the October 7th attacks with her ready acceptance of unsubstantiated claims against Israel. The piece argues that such accusations bypass the need for proof and draws parallels to historical blood libels and the Spanish Inquisition, urging Israel to consider legal action.
