United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese criticized Israel for the operation in which Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40), four of the hostages who were kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, were rescued.
"Relieved that four hostages have been released," Albanese wrote on X, using the word 'released' instead of the more accurate 'rescued.'
However, she claimed, "It should not have come at the expense of at least 200 Palestinians, including children, killed and over 400 injured by Israel and allegedly foreign soldiers, while perfidiously hiding in an aid truck."
Albanese called the rescue 'humanitarian camouflage' at another level".
"Israel has used hostages to legitimize killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatizing Palestinians in Gaza. And while intensifying violence against Palestinians in the rest of the occupied territory and Israel," she claimed.
"Israel could have freed all hostages, alive and intact, 8 months ago when the first ceasefire and hostage exchange was put on the table. Yet, Israel refused in order to continue to destroy Gaza and the Palestinians as a people," Albanese claimed.

She talks her stupidity from the safety and comfort of her home. Maybe she should exchange herself for one of the Israeli’s being held hostage. I don’t think she would like the treatment by her dear Palestinians. Rape and torture are their tactics.
She’s safe from rape.
“the first ceasefire and hostage exchange was put on the table”
So imprisoned terrorists are now “hostages,” too?
Real piece of work.
This woman is evil. People like her are evil.
I'm saddened that it wasn't 2,000, including Francesca.
“Israel has used hostages to legitimize killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatizing Palestinians in Gaza”
Isn’t Hamas doing the exact same thing only they are using those poor citizens to do it while adding the deaths of those same children to the list? At least the Palestinians had a choice to make to put hamas in charge.

Of course four Israelis are worth 200 Palestinians, if not more so. Ever notice how in the past, when Israel and the Palestinians agreed to exchange hostages, it was always hundreds of Palestinians for a few Israelis you can count on your hands? Especially if the Palestinians were arrested for acts of terrorism.
The ensuing videos would be enlightening.
Thank you for putting this in the proper perspective.
The 200 killed are just a bonus. The scumbags came at the recusers with everything they had. The were counter attacked and so a bunch of ‘innocent’ civilians died in the cross fire. Amazing how well Israel keeps its own side alive. Too bad the potential fall out keeps them from nuking these evil two legged cockroaches.
It costs what it costs—but a bargain at any price!
Those dirty sand flea Pallies are going to have to learn, “Mess with the bull, and you'll get the horns …”
Dear Francesca:
They FA,
They FO.
Sincerely,

It is sad and pathetic that these so-called “officials” just regurgitate HAMAS propaganda without ever investigating the numbers.In a real warfare scenario it takes days and weeks to figure out how many combatants and so-called “innocent” PLO/HAMAS supporters were injured or killed yet, withing and hour the PLO/HAMAS “sources” automatically spit out a round number...200. Lies, all lies and the media sucks it up.
I commented on that in the thread you linked to:
Collectivists are never original, and they tend to mimic each other.
Let’s hand her over to Hamas.
Then she can pontificate with actual experience.
Sound good, Francesca? You up for it, babe?
She is right . Should have come at the expense of 2000 or more. The only way these demonic puppets are going to be restrained from these evil acts is massive losses, just like the ones German and Japan suffered in WWII.
