  "textContent": "Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on human rights in Palestine, has been singled out by the persecutor as a special target for the most\nextreme possible lawfare persecution.\n\nIt is shocking that the US has the power to block use of bank payment cards world-wide. No country should have that special power, and European countries ought to set up their own networks that the US cannot censor. But I can affirm that it's not hard to live without a bank card.
