Disgusting: US Office for Palestinian Affairs called for Israelis to stand down — then deleted post

Lourdes Lamela, acting chief of the US Office of Palestinian Affairs, and her team called on Israelis to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks” and then deleted the message, according to reports.

The United States Office for Palestinian Affairs called on Israelis to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks” in response to Hamas attacking Israel — then deleted the message.

“We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing,” the office posted Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Why is @JoeBiden administration telling Israel not to respond to the horrific evil being perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists?” Etan Fischberger asked on X.

After deleting the message, the office wrote it was “monitoring” the situation.

“The U.S. Embassy is closely monitoring the security situation as a result of rockets fired from Gaza across southern and central Israel. U.S. citizens are reminded to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness,” according to the subsequent post on X.

Later, the account reposted a statement from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemning the attack.
