Following are examples of how Francesca Paola Albanese has used X to:
(a) directly engage with the International Criminal Court in efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel, without the consent of those two countries;
(b) pursue campaigns of political and economic warfare, which threaten U.S. national interests and sovereignty; and
(c) spew unabashed antisemitism, express support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel, and the West
A. Albanese Uses X to Engage With ICC to Target Israel or US

Decades of brutal mass incarceration of Palestinians under Israeli apartheid are fully documented. This is one of the crimes of widespread and systemic nature that the @IntlCrimCourt should have already investigated. May domestic courts step up in support for int'l justice now. https://t.co/WI4mJlkdRR

The US/Israel intermingling in the current "crisis" is mindblowing. I am very interested in the criminal implications of it. And so should be the @IntlCrimCourt.@KarimKhanQC https://t.co/kHM0mMnpEF

B. Albanese Uses X to Wage Political and Economic Warfare Targeting US & Israel
There were good reason to boycott it before this call. Now, it is unavoidable.

Disheartening to witness individuals identifying as "#democrats" chanting "USA USA USA" to drown out the voices of those demanding that the U.S. "stop killing women in Gaza" and "impose an arms embargo on Israel" at the time the latter's genocidal assault in Gaza has already… https://t.co/v9KQgzewcb

While the US Admin shamefully justifies the #genocide in Gaza, it’s disturbing when that untenable justification comes (without evidence) from a key figure in U.S. humanitarian policy.

C. Albanese Uses X to Spew Unabashed antisemitism, Support Terrorism, and Express Contempt for US, Israel, and the West
The United States, Canada, France, and Germany have condemned Ms. Albanese for using her X account to propagate antisemitism and Holocaust inversion. Examples of these X posts follow below.
This is precisely what I was thinking today.

Le 'plus grand massacre antisémite de notre siècle'? Non, M. @EmmanuelMacron. Les victimes du 7/10 n'ont pas été tuées à cause de leur judaïsme, mais en réaction de l'oppression d'Israël. La France & la communauté int'le n'ont rien fait pour l'empêcher. Mes respects aux victimes. https://t.co/uiXOkD7HV4

Le massacre du 7 octobre est le plus grand massacre antisémite du 21e siècle. Le contester est une faute. Sembler le justifier, en y mêlant le nom des Nations Unies, est une honte.
Ces propos sont d’autant plus scandaleux que la lutte contre l’antisémitisme et toutes les formes… https://t.co/IGOfEP5Q0q

Full support to @francediplo.👇 To justify the horrific terror attacks of 7/10 & deny their antisemitic nature is appalling. Making such statements in a UN capacity is a disgrace and goes against everything the United Nations stand for. https://t.co/DFlWrs8C5j

Because of their history, one might have thought Germans & Italians would be at the forefront of the opposition to the Netanyahu-driven assault on Gaza, which is now metastasising across the region.
