Rania Madi has been working as senior advocacy advisor at Badil Resource Center for Palestinian residency and refugee rights. She has also been the legal representative of Badil to United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU) institutions in Geneva. Since August 2022, Rania Madi has been working as a senior consultant for Law for Palestine. Furthermore, she is a senior advisor on the “Question of Palestine” at Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD).
On October 7, 2024, while the violent killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists was still ongoing, Rania Madi posted to Facebook a celebratory video featuring people waving flags of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and cheering and dancing. Additionally, she shared messages glorifying violence and supporting terrorism.
A thorough review of Rania Madi’s public social media output uncovered posts which deny Israel’s right to exist, and antisemitic conspiracies and fake news that seek to delegitimize Israel and demonise Jews. She also shares modern version of the age-old antisemitic blood libel which accuses Israel of intentionally killing Palestinian babies and children.
The term blood libel traditionally referred to the false accusation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish children for ritual purposes. The Nazis made effective use of the blood libel to demonise Jews, with Julius Streicher’s weekly tabloid Der Stürmer making frequent use of ritual murder imagery in its antisemitic propaganda. Now it has mutated once again “anti-Israel style” to falsely assert that Israel deliberately targets Palestinian children.
The fact that none of her colleagues, friends and followers on Facebook never publicly objected to her supporting terrorism and spreading antisemitism is outrageous and quite telling. It is worth noting that Madi has a close relationship with United Nations Special Rapporteur on the “Occupied Palestinian Territories” Francesca Albanese and that terrorist Lelia Khaled is in her circle of friends.
Rania Madi should not be allowed to advise the UN and EU nor involved in any way with human rights.
We would urge you to report her to Swiss authorities.
