Podcast appearances and mentions of francesca albanese

 A fost o comunicare excesiva sau o reactie responsabila si transparenta? Alexandru Rogobete a fost criticat in spatiul public, inclusiv de reprezentanții unor companii aeriene, pentru că a înspăimântat populația fara sa aiba date concrete despre situatia aparatului de zbor. Unde a gresit , discutam imediat.      Elevii pot folosi inteligența artificială la școală Colegiul Tehnic de Căi Ferate „Unirea” din Pașcani este primul liceu din Iași care a stabilit reguli foarte clare în acest domeniu. Documentul stabilește și măsurile pe care profesorii trebuie să le ia atunci când există suspiciuni privind folosirea neautorizată a inteligentei artificiale.  Franta și Germania cer demisia raportoarei speciale a ONU pentru teritoriile palestiniene, Francesca Albanese, care a denunțat genocidul din Fâșia Gaza Controversa a luat amploare în Hexagon după ce deputați din tabăra prezidențială au acuzat-o pe expertă că ar fi desemnat ''Israelul drept un dușman comun al umanității'', ceea ce Francesca Albanese a negat categoric. Ea a denuntat ''acuzații false'' și o ''manipulare'' a declarațiilor sale.  În Mexic s-a dezlănțuit haosul după uciderea unui baron al drogurilor Bărbaţi înarmaţi suspectaţi a fi susţinătorii săi au blocat autostrăzile din mai multe state şi au incendiat maşini şi magazine.

A series of warnings from artificial intelligence (AI) industry insiders shows how the debate around AI drives extreme news cycles, swinging between hype and alarm. The result is media coverage that overlooks the intricacies of this technology and its impact on everyday life. We examine the real risks, what's being overstated, and what major tech companies stand to gain from all the fearmongering. Contributors: Rumman Chowdhury – Founder, Humane Intelligence Mutale Nkonde – Founder, AI for the People Chris Stokel-Walker – Author of the book How AI Ate the World On our radar Francesca Albanese, the United Nations' special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, has found herself in the middle of a political firestorm, all because of comments she never actually made. After a manipulated video of Albanese calling Israel the “enemy of humanity” went viral,  there were calls for her resignation across Europe. The UN has labelled these allegations part of a wider smear campaign to discredit Albanese and the UN itself. A curated view of Israel for African journalists For decades, the Israeli government and pro-Israel organisations have sponsored trips for politicians, celebrities and journalists, inviting them to visit and, as they put it, tell the “real story” about Israel. In the past, those invitations largely targeted figures from Western countries. But since October 7th, there has been a noticeable shift towards African journalists and social media influencers. The objective is clear: to shape coverage in African media and influence audiences across the continent. The Listening Post's Nic Muirhead reports on the African journalists taking part in these fully funded, tightly managed visits to Israel.

In this conversation, John Billington and Pete Owen discuss the current geopolitical landscape, focusing on the tensions in the Middle East, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the implications of Europe's quest for power. They explore Russia's military strategy, the rise of a potential beast system in Europe, and Israel's political maneuvers regarding Palestinian statehood. The discussion also touches on the role of the UN and the broader prophetic implications of these events that will culminate in the coming Kingdom of God on earth!

Francesca Albanese es una rara avis en la diplomacia internacional, una asesora de la ONU que huye de eufemismos y no teme llamar genocidio a un genocidio; una de las grandes portavoces de las víctimas de Gaza en el mundo. Nos visita la relatora de las Naciones Unidas para Palestina que acaba de publicar en español "Cuando el mundo duerme. Historias, palabras y heridas de Palestina" y hablamos de su incansable labor de denuncia de la aniquilación de Israel sobre Gaza y Cisjordania y sus demoledores informes sobre el negocio de la guerra y la ocupación sionista. Y nos acompaña el actor y director palestino Nabil Al Raee, que desde noviembre representa en el Teatro del Barrio de Madrid "Preso en la Esperanza" Más información aquí: https://www.eldiario.es/132_c5ce18 Haz posible Carne Cruda: http://bit.ly/ProduceCC

A Rafah anche oggi si entra e si esce a ore, Le evacuazioni mediche previste sono state annullate all'ultimo momento, con i pazienti già pronti e le ambulanze in attesa. Il collasso funziona così: la sopravvivenza diventa un permesso revocabile. L'Organizzazione mondiale della sanità parla di oltre 18.500 persone nella Striscia che necessitano di cure specialistiche indisponibili sul territorio. Il numero resta fermo mentre i giorni scorrono e le finestre di uscita si chiudono. Nelle stesse ore, lungo la Linea Gialla nel nord della Striscia, colpi d'arma da fuoco feriscono gravemente un riservista israeliano. La risposta è immediata: carri armati, raid aerei, bombardamenti. Il ministero della Salute di Gaza aggiorna il bilancio: almeno ventuno morti. Le agenzie annotano che la fonte non distingue tra civili e combattenti. Da Gaza arriva anche la voce del parroco della Sacra Famiglia, Gabriel Romanelli. Parla di una crisi umanitaria e sanitaria senza precedenti e avverte che l'idea di un conflitto in esaurimento è una rappresentazione lontana dalla realtà quotidiana. Intanto, in Cisgiordania, il governo israeliano accelera su un altro fronte. Il ministro della Difesa Israel Katz annuncia l'avanzamento della legalizzazione di 140 avamposti agricoli, con il sostegno di Netanyahu e Smotrich. Terra occupata che diventa autorizzata, violenza coloniale trasformata in atto amministrativo. E mentre sul terreno si decide chi può curarsi e chi perde casa, in Italia il dibattito scivola sulla punizione simbolica. Il senatore Maurizio Gasparri annuncia un'interrogazione contro Francesca Albanese per la sua iniziativa su Gaza alla Camera. Qui il confine si stringe sulle parole, là sui corpi. Il meccanismo resta riconoscibile. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Rafah riapre. Così dicono le agenzie. Poi si leggono le righe sotto il titolo e il quadro si restringe. Il valico funziona a intermittenza, con numeri ridotti e criteri selettivi. Rientrano donne, bambini, anziani. I malati gravi, quelli con i nomi già trasmessi all'OMS per evacuazioni urgenti, passano da un altro varco, Kerem Shalom. La “riapertura” esiste, ma resta controllata, fragile, facilmente reversibile. Più utile alla narrazione che alla sopravvivenza quotidiana. Nello stesso giorno, un'altra porta si chiude del tutto. Medici Senza Frontiere viene costretta a lasciare Gaza. Israele parla di requisiti amministrativi e di elenchi del personale locale non consegnati. MSF risponde definendo la misura un pretesto e denunciando l'assenza di garanzie di sicurezza per il proprio staff. L'effetto pratico è immediato: meno medici, meno cure, meno presenza internazionale nei luoghi dove si muore di più. La contraddizione è evidente. Si annuncia un corridoio umanitario e si stringe il rubinetto dell'assistenza. Si invoca la sicurezza e si colpiscono le organizzazioni che tengono in piedi ospedali di fortuna e cliniche improvvisate. I valichi diventano strumenti politici: liste, autorizzazioni, attese che decidono chi passa e chi resta. Fuori dal linguaggio ovattato delle diplomazie, le parole sono più nette. Francesca Albanese ricorda che Israele non ha alcuna autorità legale per bloccare l'ingresso nel territorio che occupa e richiama il rispetto delle decisioni della Corte internazionale di giustizia. Qualcuno osserva che è forse la prima volta che MSF viene espulsa con l'accusa di essere una “infrastruttura militare”, lo stesso schema usato per colpire l'intero sistema sanitario di Gaza. Intanto gli inviati americani incontrano Netanyahu e parlano di tregua. Sul terreno resta una costante: una porta socchiusa, molte sprangate. E un'assistenza umanitaria trattata come concessione, non come obbligo. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Entrevista amb Francesca Albanese, relatora especial per a les Nacions Unides sobre els territoris palestins ocupats i escriptora del llibre "Cuando el mundo duerme. Historias, palabras y heridas de Palestina".

Des vitrines brisées, taguées, des événements interrompus, des salariés injuriés... Ces derniers mois, des dizaines de librairies ont été visées par des actes de vandalisme, des menaces et des intimidations à Paris, Lille, Rennes, Lyon ou Marseille. En toile de fond : le conflit israélo-palestinien, mais également un climat de « guerre culturelle » qui durcit le débat public en France. Devant la façade rose vif de la librairie féministe Violette and Co, dans le XIe arrondissement de Paris, Lu, co-gérante du lieu, observe la vitrine balafrée par des graffitis durant l'été 2025, aujourd'hui recouverte de dessins et d'une poésie. « Cette vitrine-là était dédiée à la Palestine et à l'extrême droite. On a eu deux immenses tags de peinture mélangée à de l'acide sur toute la largeur des vitrines, avec les mots ''Islamo complice'' et ''Hamas violeur''. L'acide creuse le verre, l'inscription restait visible. On a dû changer les deux vitres pour plus de 10 000 euros », raconte-t-elle. Derrière l'apparente convivialité de ce café-librairie, où l'on trouve des ouvrages rares de littérature LGBTQ+, des classiques de l'afro-féminisme ou des essais sur l'antifascisme et les batailles culturelles, l'inquiétude est bien réelle parmi les salariés et salariées. « On a porté plainte début septembre pour les tags, mais aussi pour une campagne de cyberharcèlement : appels téléphoniques menaçants ou insultants, propos misogynes, lesbophobes, homophobes... Des personnes entraient dans la librairie pour crier sur les libraires. Il y a eu des menaces de mort, des menaces de venir brûler la librairie », détaille Lu. Une perquisition inédite Début janvier, la situation a pris une tournure inédite. Violette and Co apprend que sa plainte a été égarée… au moment même où la librairie fait l'objet d'une perquisition policière. « Quand la police est venue, ils ont pris tous les cartons un par un. Ils les ont tous ouverts, ils ont sorti tous les livres », raconte la co-gérante, se remémorant le choc des salariés confrontés à cinq policiers et un procureur. La perquisition visait à saisir un album de coloriage édité en Afrique du Sud, From the River to the Sea, qui raconte la vie quotidienne et l'histoire du peuple palestinien. Un ouvrage qui ne faisait l'objet d'aucune interdiction officielle au moment de sa mise en vente, en juillet 2025, au moment – justement – de la mise en vitrine d'ouvrages liés au conflit israélo-palestinien. L'album n'est plus en stock depuis longtemps, mais il s'était retrouvé au cœur d'une croisade menée par des élus de la droite parisienne sur les réseaux sociaux qui qualifiaient l'ouvrage d'« antisémite ». En novembre 2025, la Commission de surveillance et de contrôle des publications destinées à la jeunesse (CSCPJ) a émis un avis défavorable à l'importation de cet ouvrage. Ni l'éditeur, ni les libraires n'en ont jamais été informés. « On m'aurait dit qu'une librairie serait perquisitionnée pour un livre de coloriage, je n'y aurais pas cru. J'aurais dit : "Peut-être dans l'Amérique de Trump", mais pas en France », confie Lu. Pour la libraire, l'affaire s'inscrit dans un contexte plus global de criminalisation des soutiens à la Palestine, mais aussi d'attaques répétées contre des lieux féministes et LGBTQIA+. « On est à l'intersection de plusieurs choses : la Palestine, les luttes LGBT, le féminisme. Et, ce qui dérange, c'est aussi la convergence des luttes. Les librairies sont des lieux de diffusion des idées, et aujourd'hui, la droite et l'extrême droite mènent une véritable bataille culturelle sur ce terrain », analyse-t-elle. Plusieurs librairies vandalisées À une quinzaine de minutes à vélo, dans le IIe arrondissement de Paris, se trouve la librairie La Petite Égypte. Pour le gérant, Alexis Argyroglo, ses homologues de la librairie Violette and Co subissent « un acharnement politique » dont la perquisition « choquante » est le dernier épisode. « ​​​​​​​C'est le symptôme d'une police politique, manifestement diligentée par des alertes venant du bloc de droite », insiste-t-il. Sa librairie généraliste a également été prise pour cible par un groupuscule d'extrême droite. Le 15 novembre 2025, sa vitrine a été recouverte de tags sexistes et diffamatoires (« ​​​​​​​Albanese, la putain du Hamas ») à l'encontre de Francesca Albanese, rapporteuse spéciale de l'ONU sur les droits humains dans les territoires palestiniens occupés, invitée ce soir-là pour une rencontre autour de son dernier livre Quand le monde dort. Récits, voix et blessures de la Palestine. Les tags étaient signés d'une étoile de David cerclée d'un cœur. Une plainte a été déposée, restée sans suite à ce stade. Dans ce quartier du Sentier, très lié à l'histoire de l'immigration des communautés juives en France, Alexis Argyroglo sait à quel point le sujet est sensible. « Il y a une mémoire, des affects et des positionnements politiques forts. Dès lors que vous proposez des livres qui documentent la réalité de l'occupation en Cisjordanie ou du droit international à Gaza, vous êtes perçu comme “pro-palestinien”, voire hostile », explique Alexis Argyroglo, entre inquiétude et dépit. La Petite Égypte, très engagée contre l'antisémitisme, propose de nombreux ouvrages sur le sujet et a travaillé, entre autres, avec le Mémorial de la Shoah. La profession s'alarme En quelques mois, des dizaines de librairies ont été attaquées. La librairie La Libre Pensée, dans le Ve arrondissement, pour avoir retransmis un colloque sur la Palestine, déprogrammé par le Collège de France. La librairie Transit, à Marseille, pour avoir organisé un événement en présence du collectif juif décolonial Tsedek. La librairie Les Jours Heureux, à Rosny-sous-Bois, en Seine-Saint-Denis, en réaction à la présentation d'un livre de Martin Barzilai sur les refuzniks – des objecteurs et objectrices de conscience refusant de servir l'armée israélienne. Face à ces pressions, le Syndicat de la librairie française (SLF) craint que des librairies plus isolées, en province et dans le milieu rural, s'auto-censurent par peur de représailles. « ​​​​​​​Ce qui est frappant aujourd'hui, c'est que ça touche toutes les librairies, partout en France, et pas seulement Paris », indique Guillaume Husson, délégué général du SLF. Pour lui, ces attaques ne relèvent plus de faits isolés. Elles traduisent un changement profond du rapport au livre, qui n'est plus « sanctuarisé » dans un contexte de « décomplexion » de la violence. « ​​​​​​​Les librairies sont des lieux où cohabitent des idées différentes. Le jour où on n'accepte plus ça, on a un vrai problème pour la survie de notre démocratie », insiste-t-il. Le SLF juge également la posture des pouvoirs publics vis-à-vis de Violette and Co incohérente et dangereuse. « ​​​​​​​C'est une librairie agressée à plusieurs reprises par des groupuscules d'extrême droite, qui aurait besoin d'être protégée et accompagnée, pas perquisitionnée », s'indigne Guillaume Husson, qui invoque par ailleurs des irrégularités juridiques. Suite à l'avis défavorable à l'importation, aucun arrêté ministériel n'a été pris par le ministère de la Culture pour interdire le livre de coloriage incriminé. Celui-ci n'était donc pas légalement proscrit au moment de la perquisition. Plus largement, se pose la question d'une « censure de circonstance » : « ​​​​​​​J'invite chacun à lire cet album. Il ne répond en rien aux critères permettant d'interdire un livre : la haine, la haine raciale, la discrimination, l'antisémitisme. C'est un livre engagé, militant, mais on peut être militant sans promouvoir la haine », estime Guillaume Husson. Quand l'affaire devient politique Dans un contexte de fortes tensions politiques autour du conflit israélo-palestinien, la droite parisienne – le groupe Changer Paris, coprésidé par la ministre de la Culture Rachida Dati, candidate aux prochaines élections municipales – avait voté en novembre 2025 contre l'octroi de 500 000 euros de subventions aux librairies indépendantes, au prétexte que la librairie Violette and Co avait donc mis en vitrine un livre qualifié d'« antisémite ». Le financement à l'ensemble des 40 librairies parisiennes a finalement été adopté le 18 décembre dans une nouvelle délibération, mais les soutiens politiques restent timides. Plus de 400 librairies, éditeurs, auteurs et collectifs ont alerté sur la multiplication des actes d'intimidation dans une tribune, dénonçant une polarisation de la vie publique qui « ​​​​​​​exacerbe les antagonismes et menace la liberté d'expression ».

Geçen hafta Beyrut Amerikan Üniversitesi'nin BM Filistin Özel Raportörü Francesca Albanese'nin üniversite kampüsünde konuşma yapmasını engellediği yönünde bir haber yayıldı. Haber önemliydi zira adı geçen üniversite benzerleriyle birlikte “Ortadoğu” kavramının şekillenmesi de dâhil olmak üzere Doğu Akdeniz'in dönüşümünde büyük rol oynadı. Kolonyal dönem farklı bağlamlarda tekrar tekrar incelenecektir fakat “elit tabaka”yı yetiştiren bir kurumun kapılarını farklı fikirlere kapatması oldukça ilginçtir. Şimdiye kadar bu ve benzeri kurumlar yetiştirdikleri elit tabakanın Batı değerlerini temsil etmesiyle övünür ve üstün bir pozisyonda olmayı başarırdı. Bu değerlerin neler olduğu da aşağı yukarı herkes tarafından bilinir. Kuşkusuz “uygarlaştırma misyonu” bir dünya görüşünün yansımasıydı. Oryantalist araştırmalar da bu hâkim bakış açısına göre yapılırdı. Dolayısıyla “tarihsiz ve edilgen” bir pozisyonda olan Doğu'nun Batı değerlerine açılması ve bunun için de birçok ev ödevinin tamamlanması gerekiyordu. Elit tabaka kabahatin bizde olduğu yönündeki inancı benimsedi. Beyrut Amerikan Üniversitesi gibi özgürlükleri temsil eden kurumlara sahip olamadığımız için hayıflanmalıydık.

Zover komen dat je niet meer bang bent.Dat is het ultieme doel van de mens.– Italo Calvino, Het pad van de spinnennesten Eind januari 2024. Hind Rajab is vijf jaar oud. Ze zit ineengedoken op de achterbank in de auto van haar oom en tante, samen met hun vier kinderen. Meteen nadat het zoveelste evacuatiebevel werd gegeven in het westelijke gebied van Gaza, is haar moeder met haar andere kinderen te voet gevlucht, maar vanwege de kou en de regen is Hind door haar oom en tante in de auto meegenomen. Het is vroeg in de middag, het gedreun van de bommen dringt de auto binnen en er lijkt een verkeersopstopping te zijn. Er is iets aan de hand. Haar oom en tante voelen het, ze zijn nerveus, zitten opgewonden te praten. Niet ver van een tankstation in de wijk Tel al-Hawa wordt de auto meermaals beschoten door Israëlische machinegeweren. Daarna een ijzige stilte. Hind kijkt om zich heen: niemand praat meer, ze zitten allemaal in elkaar gezakt. Met trillende handen pakt ze de telefoon uit de handen van haar vijftienjarige nichtje Layan, die is getroffen terwijl ze in gesprek was met iemand van de Rode Halve Maan. Hind vertelt: ‘De anderen zijn dood, of misschien slapen ze', en smeekt om hulp. ‘De tank staat naast me. Hij rijdt. Komen jullie me halen? Ik ben zo bang.' De medewerkster aan de andere kant van de lijn is hevig bezorgd, want ze weet hoe gevaarlijk de situatie is; ze noemt Hind liefdevol ‘habibti', ‘schatje', en blijft aan de lijn om haar gezelschap te houden. ‘De tank staat naast me. Hij rijdt. Komen jullie me halen? Ik ben zo bang' Na een drie uur durende communicatie – zo veel tijd hadden haar collega's van de Rode Halve Maan nodig voor overleg met de Israëlische autoriteiten om de locatie van de auto te bepalen en toestemming te krijgen om het meisje in veiligheid te brengen – verzekert de medewerkster Hind dat er twee hulpverleners naar haar toe komen. De registratie van dit hartverscheurende gesprek, waarbij het leven van het kind aan een zijden draadje hangt, is bewaard gebleven voor de geschiedenis, en zal hopelijk ook ooit gebruikt kunnen worden door rechters, om de verantwoordelijken voor het bloedbad waarbij Hind door het Israëlische leger werd vermoord te straffen. Pas na twaalf dagen zal het levenloze lichaam van Hind worden gevonden, in die auto waarop iemand maar is blijven schieten, doorboord door 335 kogels, niet ver van de ambulance met daarin de lijken van de hulpverleners van de Rode Halve Maan, die haar niet op tijd hebben kunnen bereiken. Het Britse team van Forensic Architecture, onder leiding van professor Eyal Weizman, heeft de afstanden en de richting van de schoten gereconstrueerd. Deze onderzoeken hebben aangetoond dat het ‘niet plausibel' is dat de Israëlische soldaten die vanuit de tank schoten geen duidelijk zicht zouden hebben gehad op de burgers die in de auto zaten – onder wie dus kinderen. Het verhaal van Hind is een symbool geworden voor de wreedheid van de Israëlische aanval op de bevolking van Gaza, sinds 7 oktober 2023. Maar dit meisje is meer dan drie maanden na 7 oktober gedood, toen Israël al meer dan 26.000 mensen had vermoord, onder wie minstens 10.000 kinderen. Hoe heeft men dit allemaal kunnen laten gebeuren? En hoe is het mogelijk dat er ook nu – eind maart 2025, terwijl ik dit boek aan het redigeren ben –, nu het vastgestelde aantal omgekomen kinderen al meer dan 17.000 bedraagt, van wie er duizend nog geen één jaar waren, nog steeds straffeloosheid heerst, en dat de moordmachine die Israël in gang heeft gezet onvermoeibaar doorgaat? Het antwoord schuilt in decennia van manipulatief woordgebruik, dat heeft geleid tot een verwrongen perceptie van de machtsverhoudingen tussen Israëliërs en Palestijnen. Elk Palestijns leven wordt gezien als een mogelijk toekomstig gevaar voor de overleving van Israël De laatste dertig jaar heeft die bewuste manipulatie velen ertoe gebracht om te geloven dat de Palestijnen verantwoordelijk zijn voor hun eigen situatie, en dat ze een existentiële dreiging vormen voor Israël. Ook de kinderen? Ja, die ook, en misschien wel vooral de kinderen, want in de logica van de Israëlische aanval die na 7 oktober begon wordt elk Palestijns leven gezien als een mogelijk toekomstig gevaar voor de overleving van Israël. Hoeveel Palestijnse kinderen zijn er zo omgekomen? Met de straffeloosheid van de schuldigen, met het gruwelijke verdriet van hele families en gemeenschappen? Dat zijn er tienduizenden. Het verhaal van Hind, hoe afschuwelijk ook, is niet ongewoon in Palestina. Mohammed Tamimi was twee jaar oud toen hij, een paar maanden voor 7 oktober 2023, door het Israëlische bezettingsleger – dat formeel bekendstaat onder de naam Israëlisch defensieleger (Israël Defence Forces: IDF) – door zijn hoofd werd geschoten terwijl hij bij zijn vader in de auto zat op de bezette Westelijke Jordaanoever. Niemand werd er verantwoordelijk voor gehouden, zoals gewoonlijk. Dat is de kindertijd, in Palestina. Toen Max en ik in Jeruzalem woonden, grensde onze tuin aan een heuveltje waarop een reusachtige, ongelooflijke moerbeiboom stond, die maandenlang vruchten droeg. Onder die boom lag altijd een paars tapijt van gevallen moerbeien, en de kinderen kwamen ze vaak rapen. Dat is de kindertijd, in Palestina. Vlak naast ons huis was een stenen muurtje waar zo'n metalen hekwerk op stond, dat er ooit, jaren eerder, provisorisch moest zijn geplaatst. De kinderen kropen er altijd onderdoor om moerbeien te gaan rapen, waardoor er een opening was ontstaan. Op een dag zag ik ze en zei: ‘Hé kinderen, als jullie moerbeien willen mogen jullie ook bij mij aanbellen en dan doe ik de poort voor jullie open, dan hoeven jullie niet daar onderdoor te kruipen.' De meesten van hen verstonden me niet, want bijna niemand van hen sprak Engels, behalve een jongetje met donkere wallen dat ik al vaker in de buurt had zien spelen met zijn tweelingzusje en hun vriendjes. ‘Hallo,' herhaalde ik dus, nu rechtstreeks tegen hem. ‘Ik weet dat jullie hier in de wijk wonen, ik heb jullie al heel vaak zien spelen. Als jullie moerbeien willen is het geen probleem, vraag het dan gewoon aan ons, zodat je je niet bezeert aan dat hekwerk.' Zijn beleefde maar vastberaden antwoord deed me versteld staan. ‘Nee, dank u,' zei hij. ‘U hoeft de poort niet voor ons open te doen. Wij blijven onder het hekwerk door kruipen, zoals we altijd hebben gedaan.' Die kleine Mohammed was al heel assertief op zijn elfde. Zijn familie was een van de eerste in de wijk Sheikh Jarrah geweest die door Israëlische kolonisten – gewapende burgers die de nederzettingen op de Westelijke Jordaanoever bevolken, met steun van het leger – uit hun huis was gezet. ‘U hoeft de poort niet voor ons open te doen. Wij blijven onder het hekwerk door kruipen, zoals we altijd hebben gedaan' In dit huis had Rifqa, de oma van Mohammed en van zijn zusje Muna, in 1948 haar toevlucht gezocht nadat ze was verdreven uit Haifa (sindsdien deel van Israël). Na een lange juridische strijd werd in 2009 het hoofdgebouw van hun bezit ingenomen door Israëlische kolonisten, terwijl de familie El-Kurd in de moestuin een huisje moest bouwen waar ze noodgedwongen met z'n allen in gingen wonen. De reactie van Mohammed verbaasde me, want het is niet vanzelfsprekend dat een kind van elf jaar – of zeven, twaalf, veertien jaar – zo'n duidelijk besef heeft van rechten, ruimte en identiteit. Maar dat is wel de realiteit voor de Palestijnen die zijn opgegroeid onder de bezetting, en voor de miljoenen Palestijnen die zijn geboren in de vluchtelingenkampen rondom Palestina. Generaties mensen zijn opgegroeid terwijl ze zagen dat hun land dag na dag onder hun voeten vandaan werd gerukt, wat de voedingsbodem vormt voor een eindeloze strijd om hun huis, hun waardigheid, en om alles wat op die leeftijd vanzelfsprekend zou moeten zijn. De kindertijd wordt afgepakt van de Palestijnen, ze worden volwassen in een kinderlichaam en gaan gebukt onder zorgen, spanningen, angsten en verantwoordelijkheden die ze op hun leeftijd niet zouden moeten hebben. Vandaar dat ik, als Speciaal Rapporteur van de VN voor de mensenrechten in de bezette Palestijnse gebieden, in 2023 besloot om mijn derde rapport aan de kindertijd te wijden, waarbij ik gebruikmaakte van een Engels woord dat de Palestijnse realiteit levendig beschrijft: unchilding, oftewel ‘de kindertijd ontnemen'. De keuze voor dat onderwerp ontstond uit de hoop dat ik het grote publiek meer inzicht zou kunnen geven in de ernst van de situatie als ik zou laten zien hoe het leven van een kind in Palestina daadwerkelijk is, naast de opgenomen statistieken en regelgeving. unchilding, oftewel ‘de kindertijd ontnemen' Toen ik mijn onderzoek deed, was alles heel anders dan nu: mijn rapport werd twee weken na 7 oktober 2023 gepresenteerd, maar ik had het twee weken voor die datum afgerond. En ook toen al was de situatie verschrikkelijk. Op dat moment in het najaar waren de gegevens over de Palestijnse kinderen die in vijftien jaar tijd (van 2008 tot september 2023) waren gedood al schrikbarend: het waren er meer dan 1400. Ieder van hen een klein universum dat voorgoed was uitgewist. Van 7 oktober 2023 tot maart 2025 was dat toch al huiveringwekkende aantal meer dan tien keer zo groot geworden: in zeventien maanden zijn er ruim 17.000 kinderen gedood, onder wie meer dan duizend baby's, van wie het leven al abrupt werd afgebroken nog voordat ze hadden kunnen leren kruipen, praten en spelen. In augustus 2024 was Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan in Gaza bezig de geboortecertificaten op te halen van zijn tweeling, die drie dagen daarvoor was geboren, toen hij werd gebeld: je appartement is gebombardeerd, je vrouw en kinderen zijn in het ziekenhuis. We konden niets meer voor ze doen. Dood voordat ze hun ogen openden naar het leven. Dat is de kindertijd, in Palestina. Toen ik in 2023 niet het benodigde visum van de Israëlische regering kreeg om in de regio mijn onderzoek te gaan doen voor de Algemene Vergadering van de VN dat najaar, besloot ik een andere tactiek toe te passen. Met steun van Palestijnse maatschappelijke organisaties en andere betrokkenen werden er focusgroepen opgericht, zodat ik de kinderen online kon interviewen. Dat is de kindertijd, in Palestina In die periode was ik met mijn gezin op vakantie op Sicilië, bij opa en oma (mijn schoonouders). Elke middag nadat ik met mijn kinderen had geluncht en even een duik in zee had genomen, ging ik naar het dakterras van ons verblijf, en nadat ik mijn computer daar had ingeplugd in een van de weinige stopcontacten die er waren begon ik met de afspraken, die elke dag uren doorgingen.Algauw bleek dat de groepen kinderen en pubers die ik interviewde goed gestructureerd en gedisciplineerd waren. Ze waren verdeeld in leeftijdscategorieën en geografische ligging, en zowel de jongeren als hun ouders waren blij met deze kans om hun ervaringen en getuigenissen met mij te delen. Samen aan een tafel, of zittend op stoelen die soms veel te groot voor ze waren (zoals bij de kinderen in Jenin), zaten ze allemaal heel aandachtig voor het scherm. Er was iemand bij om te tolken, maar het merendeel van de kinderen spreekt goed Engels, vooral in Gaza, waardoor ik rechtstreeks met ze kon praten. Door die ontmoetingen werd ik geconfronteerd met een waar wonder van leven, vitaliteit en vriendelijkheid, een kader waarin de energie en de hoop leken voort te bestaan, ondanks alle ellende. Te midden van alle moeilijkheden van de permanente bezetting en de onophoudelijke oorlogen in Gaza, waar iedereen door de belegering in feite gevangen zat in een getto, en te midden van de verwoestende nabijheid van de Israëlische nederzettingen op de Westelijke Jordaanoever, met veelvuldige arrestaties, continue invallen van soldaten en aanvallen van de kolonisten, vertoonden de kinderen die ik die zomer heb leren kennen een buitengewoon talent om de fundamentele waarden te behouden, op de eerste plaats hun liefde voor school. Ze hadden voor de gelegenheid hun nette kleren aan, het haar van de jongens was netjes gekamd, de meisjes hadden kleurige jurkjes aan en hun lange haar was bedekt met een hoofddoek, of ze hadden een hoofddoek los over hun schouders hangen. In hun stemmen hoorde ik een grote honger naar kennis en een vurig verlangen naar de toekomst. Ook dat is de kindertijd, in Palestina. PALESTINA ALS PLAATS DELICT De Italiaanse rechtsgeleerde Francesca Albanese, een uitgesproken criticus van Israël, werd aangesteld door de VN-Mensenrechtenraad (Human Rights Council) als onbetaalde onafhankelijke expert om toezicht te houden op mensenrechtenkwesties. Dat heeft ze met verve gedaan. Vervolgens riep ze expliciet op tot strafrechtelijke vervolging van bedrijven en hun leidinggevenden die Israëlische nederzettingen en/ of militaire acties en oorlogvoering faciliteren of ervan profiteren, waaronder wapenproducenten en grote vermogensbeheerders. VN-lidstaten moesten, vond zij, sancties en een wapenembargo tegen Israël instellen. Dat nam niet iedereen haar in dank af. Pro-Israëlische groepen en de VS bekritiseren Albanese regelmatig, waarbij de Amerikaanse regering haar werkwijze als ‘opruiend, juridisch twijfelachtig en antisemitisch' bestempelt. De Amerikaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Marco Rubio legde sancties op aan de VN-expert, een hoogst ongebruikelijke maatregel, schrijft de Russisch-Amerikaanse journalist M. Gessen in The New York Times, aangezien het gaat om een aan de VN-gelieerde jurist. Haar boek Wanneer de wereld slaapt begint Albanese – die dagelijks wordt beschuldigd van antisemitisme – met een verklaring dat ze de moord en ontvoering van Israëlische burgers door Hamas op 7 oktober 2023 zonder voorbehoud veroordeelt. Albaneses kompas, schrijft Antonin Iommi-Amunategui in Le Monde, is het internationaal recht, de strijd tegen onrechtvaardigheid en solidariteit, die Albanese ‘een politieke vorm van liefde' noemt. Palestijnen en hun bondgenoten beschouwen Albanese als een onverzettelijke voorvechter van Palestijnse rechten. Israël en Amerikaanse Joodse organisaties verwerpen echter haar beschuldigingen van genocide en stellen dat ze zelden geweld tegen Israëlische burgers veroordeelt of Palestijnse gewapende groepen zoals Hamas bekritiseert. Het boek is geen geschiedkundig of juridisch werk, maar geeft het woord aan tien mensen – Palestijnen, Israëliërs en anderen – die elk vanuit hun eigen perspectief de Palestijnse tragedie belichten. Een centraal verhaal is dat van Hind Rajab, een vijfjarig meisje dat op 29 januari 2024 door het Israëlische leger werd gedood. Als enige overlevende in de auto van haar oom was ze drie uur lang aan de telefoon met de hulpdiensten, die onderweg naar haar werden gedood door het Israëlische leger. Ook Hind overleefde het niet. Andere stemmen in het boek behandelen thema's als bezetting en segregatie, antisemitisme, apartheid, trauma en genocide. Albanese beschouwt Palestina als een plaats delict waar ‘we allemaal onze vingerafdrukken hebben achtergelaten'. Toch probeert ze ook hoop over te dragen, geïnspireerd door Palestijnse kinderen die ondanks alles een ‘vurig verlangen naar de toekomst' behouden.

Phase one of Donald Trump's ceasefire in Gaza appears to be holding, but it's precarious as hundreds of Gazans have been killed since it began and hundreds of thousands remain homeless and displaced.The Israeli defence force still occupies much of the territory and Hamas have re-established themselves in some areas.So is phase two - with its transitional authority and international peace force looking any way possible?Benjamin Netanyahu says it's close, but what's the view of the Palestinians?One person who has reflected their concerns since the current conflict began is Francesca Albanese, the UN's special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories. She has been an outspoken critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, accusing the government of genocide. It's made her powerful enemies including the Trump administration who have sanctioned her while the Israeli government accuse her of bias and have designated her persona non grata.She joined Krishnan Guru Murthy for this episode of The Fourcast.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. NY correspondent Luke Tress joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Democrat Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. The far-left anti-Israel activist, a state assemblymember, is, at 34, the city’s youngest mayor in over a century. We talk about concerns among some of New York’s large Jewish community and early reactions from communal organizations. Mamdani has previously stated his intention not to invest city funds in Israel bonds, in keeping with the current comptroller’s decision not to reinvest when $39 million in bonds matured in 2023. In May 2023, Mamdani, then a member of the New York State Assembly, introduced a bill called “Not on our dime!: Ending New York funding of Israeli settler violence act.” Tress weighs in on what powers Mamdani has to enact his ideological anti-Israel stance. And finally, we discuss a cartoon from the UN special rapporteur for the Palestinians, Francesca Albanese. Last week, Albanese posted a cartoon denouncing Israel, depicting what appears to be a global spiderweb, in an image that experts said echoed age-old antisemitic tropes. We hear what Tress heard from experts.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, to expose the corruption and hypocrisy within the United Nations and how it has become one of the world's biggest enablers of antisemitism and terror.From the Soviet Union's 1975 campaign declaring “Zionism is racism” to today's Hamas apologists like Francesca Albanese, Neuer reveals how the UN was captured by authoritarian regimes and weaponised against Israel. He details how organisations like UNRWA have been infiltrated by Hamas operatives, turning schools and aid programmes into fronts for jihad — all funded by Western taxpayers.Neuer explains why the so-called “rules-based international order” never truly existed, how the Human Rights Council became a haven for dictatorships, and why Britain and Europe continue to bankroll organisations that indoctrinate children to hate.A shocking and essential conversation on the UN's betrayal of its founding principles, the persistence of antisemitism in international institutions, and the urgent need for moral courage and reform in the West.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction2:59 Francesca Albanese and the UN's Inconsistencies 5:16 Albanese's Support for Hamas and Anti-Semitism8:03 The UN Human Rights Council and Its Members 11:00 The UN's Political Nature and the ICJ 13:24 The UN's Decline and the Soviet Influence17:17 The 1975 UN Resolution on Zionism29:52 UNRWA's Role and Its Radicalisation 34:24 UNRWA's Operations and Corruption52:15 The Need for De-Radicalisation and Reform 55:04 The Role of the UN and Future Reforms Hosted on Acast.

This week Lara and Michael sit down with Jenin, the Palestine representative of CODEPINK to discuss Francesca Albanese's report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide." We talk about how Airbnb and other corporations profit from the forced displacement of Palestinians. The company has over 300 listings in illegal settlements in the West Bank and we chat about the upcoming litigation against the company, as well as the campaigns spearheaded by CODEPINK to encourage people to boycott Airbnb. 

Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Jimmy criticizes the Trump administration and Senator Marco Rubio for imposing sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a UN official who reported corporate profiteering from Israel's actions in Gaza.  He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that instead of holding war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu accountable, the U.S. targets whistleblowers who expose human rights violations, highlighting the hypocrisy of lifting sanctions on known terrorists while punishing those who defend international law. Plus segments on China and 20 other nations meeting to discuss taking action to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza and Trump calling his devoted MAGA followers “stupid” and “weaklings” for falling for what he terms the “Epstein Hoax.” Also featuring Mike MacRae, Stef Zamorano, Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss. And a phone call from Alan Dershowitz!
