The UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory has equated the world’s failure to protect Palestinians from Israeli atrocities to earlier failures in protecting victims during the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia.
In a post on social media, Francesca Albanese said violence against Palestinians was “predictably” escalating in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem (al-Quds).
Albanese described as “deeply alarming” Israel’s foreign minister saying that the occupied West Bank should be treated the same as Gaza – where more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in 11 months of war waged by Israeli forces.
“Are we blind to history repeating?” Albanese asked.
She added, “Human rights are being buried altogether, one by one.”
