Francesca Albanese Gets Served with Legal Papers

Francesca Albanese, the UN’s Special Rapporteur for Conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and an obsessive antisemite, was giving a lecture in Johannesburg when she was suddenly handed legal papers that were a summons to appear in court in the U.S., to defend herself against charges of defamation and trade libel by two Christian groups. It’s an amusing tale, as she never expected the process servers to find her in South Africa, still less while she was giving a lecture on how to punish the Jewish state for its “war crimes.” Did I forget to mention that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called Albanese “a horrible person”? Or that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has condemned her for “spewing unabashed antisemitism”?

More on Francesca Albanese and the indefatigable process-server who has now delivered the legal papers that will push the malevolent minx into a world of legal woe, can be found here: “UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese served with US legal papers during Johannesburg lecture,” by Joanie Margulies, Jerusalem Post, October 28, 2025:

Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, was served with legal papers during a lecture she was giving in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday, confirmed by South Africa’s Justice and Constitutional Development Ministry.

Albanese was giving the 23rd Annual Nelson Mandela Lecture. Previous honorees include former US President Barack Obama, former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai, among many others.

During her lecture, she called for a complete boycott and arms embargo on Israel. Following the lecture at the Johannesburg-based Sandton Convention Center, a foreign subject approached Albanese to present her with court papers, according to South African media reports. Further, she declined to comment following the reception of documents….

However, the documentation for authorization of service was shared via X/Twitter by Mark Goldfeder, Director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC), which is involved with the legal proceedings.

Following an inquiry from The Jerusalem Post, Goldfeder discussed Albanese’s intensified efforts against companies with economic ties to Israel, starting in spring 2025. “Albanese accused these entities and their executives, first privately in direct letters and then publicly in a published report, of being complicit in all manner of evil, immoral war crimes and crimes against humanity through their support of Israel,” Goldfeder told the Post.

“In her report, she threatened the companies and their executives with dire consequences, including boycott, divestment, and sanctions, and prosecution for these imagined crimes by international and national courts,” he stated, adding, “Those she accused and threatened included faith charities based in the US.

Goldfeder stated that on September 8, the NJAC “filed a complaint against Albanese in the District Court of Colorado on behalf of two Christian Zionist organizations Albanese attacked – Christian Friends of Israeli Communities and Christians for Israel USA – for defamation, trade libel, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage.”

He added that she had been served via email as well as at her office. “On October 25, 2025, while Albanese was in South Africa to give the 23rd Nelson Mandela Foundation Annual Lecture, NJAC served her pursuant to Section 40 of the South African Superior Courts Act.

“Shockingly, rather than aiding NJAC’s process servers, including a sheriff, in carrying out service pursuant to the authorization they had received from the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, South African government officials at the lecture instead aided Albanese’s attempts to evade service,” he explained to the Post.

I can just see those South African officials scurrying about in a panic, trying to batten down the hatches and block all entrances to the lecture hall, in the hope of preventing the service of those scary legal papers on their brave fighter for truth and justice, Francesca Albanese.

“These officials tried to prevent the process servers from physically reaching Albanese by placing them in a separate room at the lecture hall,” he added. “The process servers were then given a phone to speak with an intermediary of Albanese’s, while Albanese could be heard directing the responses in the background, who, in Albanese’s name, told the process servers that she refused service and would always refuse service at any and every attempt.

“When the process servers tried to leave the papers with or near Albanese, they were threatened with arrest, and the sheriff was warned that he would be fired.”…

Oh dear. Apparently all that effort by Albanese, aided by her willing collaborators, to hide from the process servers, was in vain. And how unfair to treat her in such a fashion, right when she was basking in the admiration of the audience that had come to hear her speak, as the Nelson Mandela Memorial Lecturer, on how to destroy the Jewish state by putting an embargo on all weapons for the embattled country. She has been served, and now she’ll have to shell out a goodly sum for defense lawyers. I assume she’ll be allowed by the American government to enter the country for the sole purpose of appearing at that court in Colorado for her painful rendezvous with American justice. It will be better than Perry Mason. Closer, I’d wager, to Judgment at Nuremberg.
