The Washington Post deleted a controversial X post on Saturday on a story following the killings of two Israeli embassy staffers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Post\u2019s official X account published a story on the state of Jewish people after Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

“The killings of two Israeli Embassy staffers amplify the confusion felt since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks about where Jews belong,” the account described.<\/p>\n

After intense backlash, the Washington Post removed and replaced the post, adding a correction.<\/p>\n

“We deleted a previous version of this tweet that lacked the proper context,” a new post read.<\/p>\n

The post now reads, “For U.S. Jews, D.C. museum killings deepen resolve \u2014 and fear.”<\/p>\n

However, the story link still contains the original description as a standfirst.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to The Washington Post for additional comment.<\/p>\n

The controversial line was in reference to a quote from Rabbi Ruth Balinsky Friedman who spoke to the Washington Post<\/a> about her feelings after the killings.<\/p>\n

“\u2019Where do we as a people belong?\u2019 she said. ‘Where do I belong?\u2019 And if Jews belong in America, \u2018why are people shooting us in broad daylight?\u2019” the article read.<\/p>\n

Elias Rodriguez, 31, has been charged with the murder of foreign officials, a federal capital offense, along with multiple firearm-related counts and two counts of first-degree murder for the killings.<\/p>\n

When members of the Metropolitan Police Department\u2019s First District arrived and approached Rodriguez, he allegedly told them, “I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza. I am unarmed,” and later shouted, “Free Palestine,” as he was arrested.<\/p>\n
