Are protesters upset after watching Israel nonstop slaughter thousands of children for the last 6 months???
No. That can’t be it. They’re all just secretly anti-semitic or something.
Yeah isn’t that lady banned from Israel because she’s an openly biased Qatari dhill?
It cannot be overstated how bad this makes Israel look. Consistent with the actions of a fascist state though

"An independent expert appointed by the UN Human Rights Council said on Thursday that Israel’s decision to ban her from entering the country is nothing new and must not distract from atrocities being committed in Gaza.
As Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese has a mandate from the Council which includes investigating violations, undertaking regular visits or missions and reporting on findings.
Israel’s Foreign Minister and Interior Minister announced this week that she was prohibited from entering the country following recent comments made online about the 7 October Hamas attacks that sparked the current hostilities in Gaza.
‘Symbolic and misleading’
“Since Israel’s 2008 detention and deportation of then UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk, the State of Israel has prevented the entry of all UN Special Rapporteurs on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. Israel’s recent announcement to ‘officially ban’ my entry is therefore symbolic and misleading,” Ms. Albanese said in a statement."
I agree with her, banning her is nothing new.
