Antisemitism Goes on a College Tour - Editorial
The Editorial Board writes:
Political speakers on campus often face protests from activists who say their presence makes students feel “unsafe.” No such worry for United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who is going on something of an American campus grand tour with her anti-Israel message. The special U.N. rapporteur is appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council, and the U.N. says Ms. Albanese’s role is to “report on the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.” On Monday she received a hero’s welcome at a Georgetown event, and her tour moves on to Princeton and Barnard College to discuss what she calls “the genocide in Gaza.”
