UN experts: "Israel is exterminating the people of Gaza by any and all means." (Press Release)

67. Thanks. Some of the statements there are rather disturbing to me

The saying that Palestinians had no other recourse than violence and denying that the October 7th attacks had any root in antisemitism for example. Hamas has learned to moderate some of their overt antisemitic language, but I've seen nothing that indicates they've changed substantively.

But I also disagree with the ADL on many of those statements being bad. This for example is just not a problematic statement to me.

In December 2023, Albanese compared the Israel’s war in Gaza to the Holocaust saying: “Fellow Europeans, Italians, Germans: after the Holocaust, we should instinctively know that Genocide starts with dehumanizing the Other. If Israel's current attack agst [sic] Palestinians doesnt [sic] prompt our strong reaction, the darkest page of our recent history has taught us nothing.”

I do always like to see the source material of controversial statements to make sure I have the context. Thanks for sharing it.
