Gray’s questionable behavior was in regard to Yarden Gonen, the sister of Romi Gonen, who was kidnapped by Hamas on the first day of the war last year.

The host announced her departure from the political news site on Thursday in a post on the social media site X.

“It finally happened. The Hill has fired me,” Gray wrote.

She claimed that her firing was an example of the suppression of free speech.

“There should be no doubt that @RisingTheHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech — particularly when it’s critical of the state of Israel.”

Gray said her firing was “clearly part of a coordinated effort” in a follow-up tweet.

VIEWERS OFFENDED

Several people were offended by Gray’s actions.

“The Hill’s @briebriejoy rolling her eyes and sighing after Yarden Gonen, sister of a hostage in Gaza, asking her to believe rape victims,” wrote Hen Mazzig, the founder of the Tel Aviv Insitute.

“No low this person won’t sink to, truly disgusting,” he added.

Representatives from The Hill confirmed that Gray had left the organization in a statement to The New York Post.
