The BBC has began to filter less because the corporation cannot ignore what international organisation report.
Albanese had been accused of ‘antisemitism’ in 2014.
“Ms Albanese's choice of a title for it: 'Anatomy of a Genocide' was not exactly diplomatic. Many member states, especially those traditionally supportive of Israel, will be uncomfortable.
But UN special rapporteurs, while tasked by the UN to examine and advise on specific situations, are independent of it.
Genocide is a specific legal term, and Ms Albanese's report suggests some of the legal criteria have been fulfilled.
She cites what she says appears to be Israel's intention to destroy Palestinians as a group ‘in whole or in part’, a key clause in the Convention against Genocide.
She mentions in particular three elements which point to possible genocide:
- Killing members of the group
- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”
