As Secretary of State, Marco Rubio has made clear he will not stand for antisemitic and anti-Israel officials at international organizations, especially the UN, who have been using their offices to promote their private pathologies. Now he has imposed sanctions on the most antisemitic of all UN officials, Francesca Albanese, the “Special Rapporteur for Conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.” More on this welcome move can be found here: “Marco Rubio Fights Lawfare with Sanctions — and Wins,” by Enia Krivine, Algemeiner, July 28, 2025:
A UN official is getting her due for persecuting Israel and the United States using a bogus international court system — and she won’t be the last.
On July 9, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio imposed sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Albanese has used her platform at the United Nations to relentlessly attack Israel and wage economic warfare against US companies.
The sanctions sent reverberations through other UN bodies that have been weaponizing international law to fuel illegitimate investigations focusing on the United States and Israel.
Days after the State Department’s announcement, all three commissioners of the UN’s Commission of Inquiry — another UN mechanism established for attacking Israel at Turtle Bay — resigned their posts.
Good riddance. The three commissioners resigned to protest the sanctions placed by Washington on a vicious antisemite. They will not be missed.
The Trump administration has sanctioned officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the past in response to attacks on the United States and Israel. However, this is the first time that Washington has acted not just against the overreaching court itself, but against those, such as Albanese, that directly engage in the ICC’s efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel….
The lawfare industry is robust and presents dozens of additional targets for sanctions under Trump’s executive order. Going forward, the Trump administration should sanction the Belgium-based Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF). The group exists to pursue legal action, in both international and national courts, against individuals they deem responsible for alleged Israeli war crimes against Palestinians. The HRF is endangering more than 1,000 IDF soldiers by urging they be arrested if they leave Israel so that they can be tried for war crimes.
By directly engaging with the ICC in efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute Israelis , the Hind Rajab Foundation is clearly deserving of legal consequences, just as special rapporteur Albanese is.
Sanctions imposed by Washington on those conducting lawfare against Israel and the United States range from denial of visas to the freezing of all assets held in the United States. Francesca Albanese has now been agitating, without success, for the American sanctions on her to be lifted; she was shocked to discover that the Trump administration was determined to punish her for her anti-Israel and antisemitic activities. Her three fellow commissioners at the UN who resigned in sympathy with Albanese can also be seen as having been harmed by the American sanctions on Albanese, though in their cases it was self-inflicted. Marco Rubio’s sanctions have extended to the ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan, who called on the ICC to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. He has now been sanctioned by Washington, and seen his assets in this country frozen. The same has happened to three of the ICC judges who issued those arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant as requested by Karim Khan. And now the Americans may go after another antisemitic group, the Hind Rajab Foundation. Eventually this vigorous imposition of sanctions should have a chilling effect on those who will now have to think twice before promoting anti-Israel and antisemitic views. For this relief, Marco Rubio, much thanks.

Every legal measure is required to combat Islamization of the West ultimately to make Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, its Islamic Centers, its Courts, etc. illegal for their funding, teaching, and supporting discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism against Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7, etc.). Islam is a hate-filled, Criminal Gang Enterprise.
There is NO MECCA, NO MUHAMMAD, and NO QURAN in the 7th century AD in Saudi Arabia despite the Muslim claims. Thus, Islam is a deceitful, factitious ideology imaginatively fabricated over time into the 21sth century. Allah’s cursed Islam, a Criminal-Terrorist Enterprise and a Murderous-Demonic Cult of Believers, Muslim Soldiers for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, mass murder, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 8:60; 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.).
Allah’s specious ideology in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until they surrender to Muslim rule when it says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Hence, Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 8:60; 9:5,29, 111; 47:4; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam and its Muslims function as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims to make Islam supreme and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 2:191; 4:89, 91; 9:5,29, 111; 49:15, etc.).
Allah’s Islam, a supremacist Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their incitement of segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, and tyrannical violence(Quran 4:65; 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7, etc.).
Allah’s Muslims desire to make Islam supreme. Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah, the Supreme Destroyer, in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”. Allah teaches that Death By Jihad leads to Muslim Paradise. Allah in Qur’an 3:169 says, “And do not consider those who were killed for the sake of Allah as dead. Yet they are alive with their lord, receiving their provision.”
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a CRIME of Blasphemy, Unbelief, and Infidelity against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION AS SUPREME(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0, etc.).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: incitement, intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, slavery, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, sedition, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:191, 208,216; 4:65, 89,91, 95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 47:4; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

Quitting their cushy jobs to protest. Cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Like going on a hunger strike to get someone else to feel bad enough to concede to demands made.
It’s rather refreshing to hear/read of Laws being followed correctly. They can all quit if they don’t want to be denied entry.

Marco Rubio; probably the best ‘Secretary of State.’ He’s Humble and reserved but, ‘don’t mess with him, he means business!’
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I do hope that a new National Security Advisor is appointed, so that Rubio can focus on the State Department. Maybe recall KT McFarland for that role. She was the deputy to Gen Flynn in Trump 45, so she could return and pick up from there
Rick Gordon says
Kudos to Rubio! As a Floridian, I supported him as a hard-working Senator. He’s more than met my expectations for a Secretary of State that supports our country. Bravo!!!
James Lincoln says
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is – definitely – the right man for the job.
aum says
Rubio Rocks.
dumbledoresarmy says
I hope that all US persons here posting or lurking, who agree with Fitzgerald’s assessment of what Rubio has done, will write to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and THANK him, and offer him words of encouragement.
Get behind him and PUSH.
OLD GUY says
And PUSH like your life depends on it. We need strong leaders who will follow the laws and put laws in place that protect the citizens of America FIRST.
