Any and all criticism of Israel, it's politics or actions is Anti-Semetic.

Now why would ask such a question and then "like" an immediate post thereafter which is nothing but a strawman?
But for anyone else besides you who maybe is actually curious, Albanese has said in the past that the US is controlled by the Jewish lobby and that the Oct.7 attacks themselves had nothing to do with antisemitism.
Now perhaps this doesn't approach lynching advocacy territory, but for a supposed rapporteur* on the Palestinian situation she seems to be entirely on one side of it.
I first noticed her in one of these Gaza topics, in a video where she got stuffy with some reporter asking about what documentary evidence there was for genocide being ordered in Gaza, proceeding to dodge the question and tell him something like "what, do you think the Hutus in Rwanda needed any permission?". Which makes me think she believes it's just in Jewish tribal/ethnic nature to want to kill Arabs or something.
*which is not a "UN expert" (i.e. someone who is paid by them) but some academic who gives reports to it on what's going in, but maybe the BBC is just confused to realize that.

Because of your past behavior on this forum. But if you want to me to automatically assume you're speaking in bad faith from now on instead of asking, then by all means, I will comply!

Yes, the BBC is very confused about this UN expert term.
IRC it has often quoted them promoting partisan positions whether about
child poverty in the UK or supposed anti-black racism in the UK
As far as I am concerned the term ought to be used more cautiously.

Israeli defence minister plans to move Gaza's population to camp in Rafah
Israel's defence minister says he has instructed its military to prepare a plan to move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the territory, Israeli media reports say.Israel Katz told journalists on Monday he wanted to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house about 600,000 Palestinians - and eventually the whole 2.1 million population.
He said the goal was to bring people inside after security screening to ensure they were not Hamas operatives, and that they would not be allowed to leave.
If conditions allowed, he added, construction would begin during a 60-day ceasefire that Israel and Hamas are trying to negotiate.
One Israeli human rights lawyer condemned it as nothing less than an "operational plan for a crime against humanity".
"It is all about population transfer to the southern tip of the Gaza Strip in preparation for deportation outside the strip," Michael Sfard told the Guardian newspaper.
The UN has also previously warned that the deportation or forcible transfer of an occupied territory's civilian population is strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law and "tantamount to ethnic cleansing".
There was no immediate comment from the Palestinian Authority or Hamas.
Later on Monday, during a meeting at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about US President Donald Trump's proposal that the US take over post-war Gaza and permanently resettle its population elsewhere.
Netanyahu said: "I think President Trump has a brilliant vision. It's called free choice. If people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave...
"We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realise what they always say - that they wanted to give the Palestinians a better future."
Trump said: "We've had great co-operation from... surrounding countries, great cooperation from every single one of them. So, something good will happen."
In March, Arab states backed a $53bn (£39bn) Egyptian alternative to Trump's plan for Gaza's reconstruction that would allow the Palestinians living there to stay in place.
They also stressed their "categorical rejection of any form of displacement of the Palestinian people", describing such an idea as "a gross violation of international law, a crime against humanity and ethnic cleansing".
The Palestinian Authority and Hamas also endorsed the Egyptian plan, but the US and Israel said it failed to address realities in Gaza.
Palestinians fear a repeat of the Nakba - the Arabic word for "catastrophe" - when hundreds of thousands fled or were driven from their homes before and during the war that followed the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Many of those refugees ended up in Gaza, where they and their descendants make up three-quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live in the occupied West Bank, while 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, according to the UN.
The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
More than 57,500 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
Most of Gaza's population has also been displaced multiple times. More than 90% of homes are estimated to be damaged or destroyed; the healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed; and there are shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.

This is an identical policy to concentration camps used by colonial authorities from Cuba to South Africa to the Philippines to Malaya since the late 19th century. Force everyone into concentration camps, usually with absolutely horrifying conditions of deprivation, then kill everyone who isn't inside them.
Incidentally, guess how many of those colonial regimes still control the target population and the territory they were on. There's not much coming back from obscene policies like this.

Well it was successful in the US, or Australia for that matter.
The colonists largely replaced the locals there.

Children queuing for supplements killed in Israeli strike in Gaza, hospital says
At least 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, have been killed in an Israeli strike near a medical point in central Gaza, a hospital there says.Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital said the strike hit people queueing for nutritional supplements in the town of Deir al-Balah. Graphic video from the hospital showed the bodies of several children and others lying on the floor as medics treated their wounds.
The Israeli military said it targeted a "Hamas terrorist" in the area. It said it "regret[ted] any harm to uninvolved individuals" and that the incident was "under review".
Another 26 people were reportedly killed in strikes elsewhere in Gaza on Thursday, as Israeli and Hamas delegations continued negotiations for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal at indirect talks in Doha.
Despite optimism expressed by the US, which is acting as a mediator along with Qatar and Egypt, they do not so far seem to have come close to a breakthrough.
At al-Aqsa hospital's mortuary, relatives of those killed wept as they wrapped the dead children in white shrouds and body bags before performing funeral prayers.
One woman told the BBC that her pregnant niece, Manal, and her daughter, Fatima, were among them, and that Manal's son was in the intensive care unit.
"She was queuing to get the children supplements when the incident happened, I don't know what happened after that," Intisar said.
Another woman standing said nearby said: "For what sin were they killed?"
"We are dying before the ears and eyes of the whole world. The whole world is watching the Gaza Strip. If people aren't killed by the Israeli army, they die trying to get aid."
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it struck a member of the elite Nukhba forces of Hamas's military wing who had taken part in the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel.
"The IDF is aware of reports regarding a number of injured individuals in the area. The incident is under review," it added. "The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals."
The attack happened as mediators attempted to build momentum towards a ceasefire deal at talks in Doha.
However, significant gaps between Israel and Hamas appear to remain.
On Wednesday night, a senior Israeli official told journalists in Washington that it could take one or two weeks to reach an agreement.
The official, who was speaking during a visit to the US by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also said that if an agreement was reached on a 60-day ceasefire, Israel would use that time to offer a permanent end to the war that would require Hamas to disarm. If Hamas refused to disarm, Israel would "proceed" with military operations, they added.
Earlier, Hamas issued a statement saying that the talks had been difficult, blaming Israeli "intransigence".
The group said it had shown flexibility in agreeing to release 10 hostages, but it reiterated that it was seeking a "comprehensive" agreement that would end the Israeli offensive.
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
At least 57,680 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
Most of Gaza's population has also been displaced multiple times. More than 90% of homes are estimated to be damaged or destroyed; the healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed; and there are shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
