"... With your actions, you are contributing to the continuation of the delegitimization and defamation campaign against the UN Special Rapporteur. As early as December 2022, experts and scholars felt compelled to write a statement condemning the attacks on Ms. Albanese... At the end of last year, 50 (!) Jewish organizations signed another statement expressing their support for Ms Albanese. The delegitimization campaign you support is part of a broader campaign by the far-right Israeli government and its supporters against the UN as a whole."
