     Where is the protection of the Palestinian people from erasure, from annexation, from illegal occupation, and apartheid. This is what we need to discuss… hmmm?”

     “Israel does exist. Israel is a recognised member of the United Nations. Besides this, there is not such thing in international law like “a right of a state to exist” … what is enshrined in international law is the right of a people to exist … so the state of Israel is there … does this justify the erasure of another people? Hell no. Not 75 years ago, not 57 years ago… surely not today. (2/3)

     It's worthwhile watching the full press conference. Francesca Albanese's opening statement is in English, and then there are questions in both English and French, about half each. I don't speak or understand French, but it was worth waiting to hear her answers to the English questions. She speaks with clarity, conviction, and courage.
