Emily Jacobs at Jewish Insider reported The Washington Post came under fire for an insensitive treatment of Ronen and Orna Neutra, the parents of an American hostage in Gaza who spoke at the Republican convention. It’s bad enough that the Post‘s headline described their son Omer as “missing,” not held hostage. But they came under fire for a tweet scolding the parents that they later deleted and admitted 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. Experts have warned of looming famine,” the Post tweeted on X.
