The Washington Post took heat for a post criticizing the parents of an American hostage in Gaza for not being vocal opponents of Israel's war in Gaza.
The Washington Post came under fire after it scolded the parents of an American hostage in Gaza for not publicly criticizing Israel's 'assault' there and admitted Friday that its social media post was 'unacceptable.' 'Omer Neutra has been missing since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. When his parents speak publicly, they don't talk about Israel's assault on Gaza that has killed over 38,000 Palestinians, according to local officials.
new version of the original post now reads, 'Omer Neutra, an American hostage in the Israel-Hamas war, has been missing since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. His parents have mounted a relentless effort to get him released, speaking to anyone who might be able to support their cause.' While the social media post was taken down, a similar paragraph remains in the body of the full story posted on the Post's website.
What’s happening in Gaza is ‘horrible,’ Orna said, but Hamas could end it by releasing the hostages. Ronen echoed that sentiment: Hamas is ‘not only holding hostage our son, they’re also holding hostage the people of Gaza,’' the story continues. The Post referred Fox News Digital to its statements on X when reached for comment. The paper has come under fire from Jewish groups for its reporting on the war in Gaza since the Hamas terror attack last October.
