The Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles faced criticism after deleting an Instagram post stating that “never again” should apply to all people, not just Jews. Many saw the post as acknowledging Palestinian suffering amid Israel’s offensive in Gaza, described by UN experts and rights groups as genocide.

The museum said the post was “open to misinterpretation” and not intended as a political statement, pledging future content would be “more thoughtfully designed and thoroughly vetted”, according to Al Jazeera.

Critics condemned the move as a retreat under political pressure, calling it a failure to uphold universal anti-genocide principles.
