Former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, a well-known Zionist cheerleader and warmonger, has been elected as the new president of the United Nations General Assembly (UNSC), raising eyebrows worldwide.
Her statements often emphasized the so-called Israeli “right to self-defense” while offering limited critique of its genocidal actions, particularly after the events of October 7, 2023. She legitimized Israeli attacks on civilians and on October 10, 2024, stated in the German Bundestag that “civilian sites in Gaza could lose their protected status if used by Hamas,” which drew widespread backlash.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, criticized Baerbock’s October 2024 speech, noting that while civilian sites can lose protected status under international law if used militarily, disproportionate harm to civilians remains illegal, a nuance Baerbock’s statements overlooked.
Please, that gotta be a joke…
I factchecked. She’s not openly zionist from what I found but she made the famous quote that hospitals should lose their protection if used by terrorists. This of course denounces all protections because you can just claim it and sort through the rubble later.

She’s definitely not fit to lead the UN by any stretch of the imagination.
Saying that Israel has the right to bomb civilan targets is as hardcore Zionist as you can get. In her position especially she should know that her statement is completely factually untrue.
Only if Hamas was actively shooting at Israeli troops from the hospital, would the hospital lose its protected status at the positions where Hamas is shooting from.
Her statements came after Israel lied many times about “Hamas using human shields” and she is a primary perpetrator of the genocide.
No, actually there are a lot worse people, especially in germany. But yes, its a cruel take and she should have absolutely been barred from such a position. it shows that the UN also is no democratic institution but another power play by the rich.
This all needs to go down.
There might be worse people in Germany but those are not pretending to be progressive leftists.
Well, the NSDAP also pretended to be socialist. The greens are a right wing party with green tint. They’re neither social nor climate change concious.
There is only one party in germany that can be viewed as progressive (and also has the means to do anything about it) which is “The Left” (Die Linke). All other parties in the bundestag are right wing parties.
Indeed. But it is similar to Democrats in the US. The problem isn’t the right wing Trumpers, it’s the fake progressive Democrats. Which hijack left wing activism, and lie about their motives while their only true goal is to push a right-wing agenda.
The purpose of parties such as The Greens in Germany is to prevent an actual left-wing from establishing by sheepdogging leftists into a fake progressive party.
Thats pretty spot on.
