YA THINK?! WaPo Deletes Despicable Post About ‘Where Jews Belong’ Saying It ‘Lacked Proper Context’ – Twitchy

A few days ago, the Washington Post ran one of the most despicable posts we’ve seen on X, and that’s saying something.

We told you about it here.

That post read, ‘The killings of two Israeli Embassy staffers amplify confusion felt since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks about where Jews belong.’

But after leaving that up for more than 24 hours, they finally deleted it.

Took ’em long enough.

And this is what they replaced it with:

For U.S. Jews, D.C. museum killings deepen resolve — and fear. https://t.co/2nr1fCKgec

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 24, 2025

Why couldn’t that happen the first time?

(We all know why)

But what’s really maddening is the explanation WaPo gave for that now-deleted post:

We deleted a previous version of this tweet that lacked the proper context.

‘Lacked the proper context.’

Sure, Jan.

Here, everyone should know what you did for even more context pic.twitter.com/EDiPsVDA97

Thanks for the screenshot.

Please, WaPo, explain what ‘context’ was missing from that post.

We’ll wait.

Retracted so you can add the word “uppity”?

Heh.

It wouldn’t surprise us if they did.

After half a million views? We know exactly what your “context” was.

And the re-branded post has a fraction of those views. As always.

We sure did.

No, we got the context.

We got it loud and clear.

There is no ‘proper context’ for that. None.

Unless you’re Josef Goebbels.

CZ Mmm..maybe it was a bit more than that, right Darkness? https://t.co/auwI9IGlIV

Definitely a bit more than that.
