[Definisci proPal e poi definisci fascista. L’incitamento di Francesca Albanese].

Rights Reporter.

Define proPal and then define fascist. Francesca Albanese's incitement.

Written by Franco Londei. November 30, 2025

Francesca Albanese comments on the ProPal attack in La Stampa.

The proPal assault on the editorial office of La Stampa cannot and must not be underestimated, even less so if the phantom UN special envoy, Francesca Albanese, starts inciting and justifying the attack on journalists who are "not aligned" with Hamas's press releases.

Which, put like that, is strange. The daily newspaper La Stampa , along with Repubblica and all the left-wing newspapers, have never skimped on the distribution of Hamas press releases, so the pro-Pal attack on the editorial staff of the Turin daily is even unjustifiable.

The only justification is therefore found in the very definition of “proPal,” which rarely indicates “support for the Palestinian cause” or “support for Palestinian self-determination,” much less “support for the two-state solution.”

More frequently it indicates "justification of Islamic terrorism" or "being against Israel and the Israeli people", therefore it indicates "anti-Semitism".

But the most fitting definition of proPal is undoubtedly the one that emerged first from the attack on the editorial offices of La Stampa and then from the incitement of Francesca Albanese: the proPal ideology is " intolerant, authoritarian, repressive, and a supporter of practices or attitudes that limit the freedom of others ," which is what Hamas does in Gaza or Fatah in the West Bank.

Well, if you look for the definition of “fascism” among the many that are proposed, there is also that fascist ideology is “ intolerant, authoritarian, repressive, supporting practices or attitudes that limit the freedom of others ”.

There's no longer a distinction between left and right; a fascist is a fascist. Anyone who supports terrorism, practices that limit freedom, the authoritarianism of those who shoot in the head those who disagree with the [Hamas] regime is a fascist. And it's no coincidence that a pro-Pal supports the same things and ideologies as a fascist. Hamas is fascist. Fatah is fascist. They haven't held elections since time immemorial and control the population with weapons, violence, and blackmail. And if you support these people, you're a fascist.

There's a lot to write about Francesca Albanese, not because of her "missions" to Gaza, where she's never been, or the genocide[sic] without bodies and numbers she blathers on about, but rather because this figure wanders the world cloaked in a title given to her by the United Nations that, unfortunately, gives a good idea of ​​how low the most expensive and most useless global body in human history has fallen.

A United Nations representative who, after the fascist attack on the editorial offices of La Stampa , a newspaper friendly to the proPal movement, claims that "this should be a warning to the press..." A warning? And where does this charlatan think she is? In Gaza? In the Palestinian West Bank, where the little press that exists is subservient to their respective regimes? Where, if you write "Fuck Hamas," you find a noose around your neck, like a very well-known proPal movement (one of the real ones)? Does she perhaps think she's in Qatar, at Al Jazeera, where the only line is that dictated by the regime, the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood, an expression of Islamic fascism?

How can the United Nations provide legal cover for this person? How can the United Nations provide legal cover for someone who issues warnings against the free press in a free country?

And now define “proPal” again.

Controversy: Francesca Albanese & La Stampa

The incident involving the UN Special Rapporteur and the Italian newspaper (November 2025).

1. The Assault on La Stampa

On November 28, 2025, approximately 100 pro-Palestinian activists stormed the headquarters of the newspaper La Stampa in Turin. The protesters:

2. Albanese’s "Warning" Controversy

Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, sparked an immediate backlash with her public reaction to the violence. While she stated she "formally condemned" the assault, she added a qualification that critics labeled as a justification:

"At the same time, this should also be a warning to the press to get back to doing their job."

She later defended her stance at a rally in Rome, claiming her words were not a "slip-up" but a critique of what she termed "informational distortion" in Italian media regarding the Gaza conflict.

3. Reactions and Impact

The remarks led to a rare moment of near-total political unity in Italy against a UN official:

When I saw the headline, I wasn't sure if "Francesca Albanese" was a reference to the Pope or to Sinatra, but five minutes of web searching confirmed that she had been in Gaza multiple times in the past, but has been unable to obtain a visa from Israeli authorities for the past two years.

The French government is calling for the resignation of United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese following her statement that Israel is the “common enemy” of humankind, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told lawmakers today (Wednesday).

“France unreservedly condemns the outrageous and reprehensible remarks made by Ms. Francesca Albanese, which are directed not at the Israeli government, whose policies may be criticized, but at Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable,” Barrot said.

He stated that Albanese’s remarks “target not the Israeli government, whose policies can be criticized, but Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable,” and that they “add to a long list of scandalous positions, justifying October 7, the worst antisemitic massacre in our history since the Holocaust, mentioning the Jewish lobby or comparing Israel to the Third Reich.”

Barrot’s comments come after over 20 French MPs demanded that Albanese be removed from her position in response to the Rapporteur’s remarks at an Al Jazeera conference on Saturday, which was also attended by Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.

In her video remarks, Albanese stated: “The fact that instead of stopping Israel, most of the world has armed, given Israel political excuses, political sheltering, economic and financial support ... We who do not control large amounts of financial capitals, algorithms and weapons, we now see that we as a humanity have a common enemy.”

Germany demands resignation of UN rights rapporteur Albanese over anti-Israel comments.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul calls for the resignation of the UN special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, over comments she made allegedly targeting Israel at a conference.

“I respect the UN system of independent rapporteurs. However, Ms Albanese has made numerous inappropriate remarks in the past. I condemn her recent statements about Israel. She is untenable in her position,” Wadephul writes on X.

Wadephul’s French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot made the same call yesterday for Albanese to resign, over the same comments.

Speaking via videoconference at a forum Saturday in Doha, Qatar, organized by the Al Jazeera network, Albanese referred to a “common enemy” that enabled the “genocide” in Gaza.

Albanese has a history of antisemitism and extremist rhetoric toward Israel, according to her critics. The US State Department sanctioned Albanese in July, accusing her of “political and economic warfare” against the US and Israel and “unabashed antisemitism.”
