The Archdiocese of San Antonio says Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller “deeply regrets” that some recent social media posts on the war in Gaza, several of which were deleted Thursday, have “caused confusion and misunderstanding.”
In a series of posts on X on Tuesday, García-Sillar expressed solidarity with Palestinians while also appearing to conflate the Jewish people with the state of Israel.
“Jewish brothers and sisters stop killing Palestinians. STOP!” the archbishop wrote in one now-deleted post.
In another post, now deleted, García-Sillar wrote: “Antisemitism is condemned. To save the Palestinians is our hope.”
