Barnard College Ripped for Inviting ‘Antisemite’ — Who Compared Israel to Nazi Third Reich — to Speak on Campus

Barnard College (NY) is being called out for inviting a United Nations official who has likened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler and Israel as the Nazi “Third Reich” to speak at the elite Manhattan school this week. A pro-Israel UN watchdog group is urging the Columbia University-affiliated Morningside Heights college to cancel the Wednesday event featuring Francesca Albanese, the controversial special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, who’s been accused of spewing antisemitism. A persistent critic of the Jewish state, Albanese has been accused of excusing Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
