The United Nations Human Rights Council’s (UNHRC) session in Geneva on Wednesday was marked by the interruption and scolding of pro-Israel speakers.

Meanwhile, those speaking against the Jewish state were allowed to lob insults and accusations of “genocide.”

U.N. Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer was interrupted twice while speaking out against United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, whose term is up for renewal. He was interrupted and ultimately blocked from delivering his full remarks.

The Permanent Observer Representative of the State of Palestine to the U.N. Ibrahim Khraishi first interrupted Neuer with a “point of order.” Khraishi started his remarks by saying Neuer was out of order and accused the U.N. watchdog chief of being “affiliated with the Mossad.” This claim went unchallenged by the officials running the session, who complained repeatedly about “disrespectful language.”

On Wednesday, Neuer sent an official letter to Human Rights Council President Jürg Lauber urging him not to reappoint Albanese. In the letter, Neuer accuses Albanese of “routinely” violating the Code of Conduct, characterizing her breaches as “widespread, systematic and grave.”

“Failure to address this issue would gravely undermine the credibility of the UNHRC and signal an unacceptable tolerance for antisemitism within its ranks,” Neuer warned in the letter.

Albanese’s response to French President Emmanuel Macron calling the Oct. 7 attacks “the largest antisemitic massacre of our century” sparked backlash from France, the U.S. and Germany.

In February 2024, Albanese said that those killed on Oct. 7 were murdered “in response to Israel’s oppression,” and not because they were Jewish.

The French Mission to the U.N. condemned Albanese’s response in a post on X. According to the ADL’s translation, the post read: “The October 7 massacre is the largest antisemitic massacre of the 21st century. To deny it is wrong. To seem to justify it, by bringing in the name of the United Nations, is a shame.” This was just a few months after the mission condemned her “hate speech and antisemitism.”

The German Mission to the U.N. backed France’s condemnation. The office reposted France’s post and wrote, “To justify the horrific terror attacks of 7/10 & deny their antisemitic nature is appalling. Making such statements in a U.N. capacity is a disgrace and goes against everything the United Nations stand for.”

Michèle Taylor, who was serving as the U.S. ambassador to UNHRC at the time, condemned Albanese’s statements “justifying, dismissing and denying the antisemitic undertones of Hamas’ October 7 attack are in and of themselves antisemitic.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the Palestinian Mission to the U.N. regarding Khraishi’s accusation against Neuer and has yet to get a response.
