That led to condemnations from France and Germany this weekend, and several U.S. officials condemned Albanese’s comments as antisemitic today.
Michèle Taylor, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Council, wrote in a statement posted to social media that Albanese “has a history of using antisemitic tropes.” She referred to a previous controversy in 2022 sparked by Albanese’s comments saying that America is “subjugated by the Jewish lobby.”
“Her most recent statements justifying, dismissing, & denying the antisemitic undertones of Hamas’ October 7 attack are unacceptable & antisemitic,” the post stated. “We expect more of independent UN experts and condemn all forms of antisemitism.”

UN experts sure love antisemitic conspiracy theories, not surprising because they love to put them in their UNWRA textbooks too
