UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca P. Albanese, on Egyptian TV – "I have said many times that what happened in the Holocaust….must not be repeated by Israel against others".
Francesca P. Albanese, according to Wikipedia, is an Italian international lawyer and academic:
On 1 May 2022, she was appointed United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories for a three-year term. She is the first woman to hold the position. A strong opponent of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, Albanese recommended in her first report that UN member states develop "a plan to end the Israeli settler-colonial occupation and apartheid regime"….
Albanese's appointment as the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, the second Italian (after Giorgio Giacomelli) and the first woman to hold this position, generated controversy due to her past statements regarding the Holocaust and the Jewish lobby, which the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Susan Heller Pinto of the Anti-Defamation League, and Michele Taylor, the American ambassador to the Human Rights Council, suggested were antisemitic in nature. She said that she is not antisemitic and that her criticism of Israel is related to their occupation of Palestinian territories.
Albanese made headlines for a comment made in 2014 in which she described the United States as "subjugated by the Jewish lobby" and Europe by a "sense of guilt about the Holocaust", arguing that both "condemn the oppressed" in the conflict.
Such an original thinker.
It's that old antisemitic staple, the Holocaust Inversion gambit – or the reverse weaponisation.
