Israeli ambassador condemns Albanese’s moral collapse as anti-Israel hostility again targets Hamas victim’s family.
US Ambassador to Israel Danny Danon sharply condemned UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese after she mocked the bereaved mother of a young woman murdered by Hamas during the October 7 massacre.
Danon said the mother of Carolin Bohl, a German victim brutally murdered by Hamas, had shared the painful hostility she experienced at a Berlin film premiere where Albanese was honored as a guest.
Instead of showing compassion, Albanese reportedly responded to the grieving mother with the cruel remark: “Change medication.”
Danon called the response outrageous and said there appears to be no limit to Albanese’s moral decline.
Albanese has long faced accusations of extreme anti-Israel bias. She has repeatedly drawn criticism for statements portraying Israel as the aggressor while minimizing or contextualizing Hamas’s October 7 atrocities.
She was also condemned by European officials after remarks at an Al Jazeera conference, where she accused much of the world of arming, sheltering and financially supporting Israel while speaking of humanity having a “common enemy.” Albanese later denied claiming that Israel was the common enemy of humanity.
Her record includes previous controversy over comments about a “Jewish lobby” controlling the United States, remarks she later claimed were mischaracterized.
Since the October 7 massacre, Albanese’s rhetoric against Israel has intensified, including claims that Israel has been given a “license to torture Palestinians.” For Israel and its supporters, her latest insult toward a murdered victim’s mother further exposes how anti-Israel obsession can erase basic human decency.
