Francesca Albanese is the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967. She’s one of the most outspoken experts on Israel’s crimes in Gaza and beyond.
In two recent interviews, Albanese kindly mentions my book, The Palestine Laboratory, and urges people to read it.
Here’s the UK outlet, Novara Media:
Even if Israel stopped committing crimes today, it would have already put the entire human rights system in danger. Israel should be held accountable for what it has done to the Palestinians and what it has done to the world by, for example, selling weapons to dictatorships. I encourage everyone to read The Palestine Laboratory by Antony Loewenstein, a brilliant documentation that exposes how Israel has turned an entire population into a laboratory of guinea pigs on whom weapons and techniques could be tested and then sold globally. Israel is a big contributor to the militarisation of global societies.
US outlet, Zeteo:
Life at home is less intense than the public world Albanese inhabits. There are no pets because her husband “is allergic to the concept of dependence,” but plenty of books (she is rereading Antony Loewenstein’s The Palestine Laboratory) by literary figures of inspiration, including Edward Said and Primo Levi, who she feels especially close to as an Italian, and friends whom she once loved cooking for though she rarely has the time now.
