WTOP.com: 2 Israeli Embassy staff members killed in shooting near Capital Jewish Museum in Northwest DC

A man and woman, both staff members at the Israeli Embassy, were killed in a shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum in Northwest D.C. on Wednesday night.

The shooting occurred near the museum in the 500 block of 3rd Street NW around 9:10 p.m. where an event, the Young Diplomats Reception for young Jewish professionals, was held. The museum is located steps away from the FBI’s Washington Field Office.

D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith said at a news conference late Wednesday night a man, now identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, “approached a group of four people, produced a handgun and opened fire,” striking the couple.

She added that Rodriguez then entered the museum and chanted “Free, free Palestine!”

Rodriguez was detained by museum security personnel and confessed to the crime. A weapon was recovered from the scene. According to Smith, Rodriguez was observed pacing outside the museum before the shooting.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified the couple as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Lischinsky was a research assistant, and Milgrim organized visits and missions to Israel.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said at the news conference that the District government “will not tolerate this violence or hate in our city. We will not tolerate any acts of terrorism, and we’re going to stand together as a community in the coming days and weeks to send a clear message that we will not tolerate antisemitism.”

Ted Deutch, the CEO of the American Jewish Committee, the organization holding Wednesday night’s event, said in a statement on X: “We are devastated that an unspeakable act of violence took place outside the venue.”

He added that while the organization waits for more information, “our attention and our hearts are solely with those who were harmed and their families.”

Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel “Michael” Leiter, described through tears that the couple that was killed were planning to get married, and that the man had just purchased a ring with plans to propose in Jerusalem.

“They were a beautiful couple who came to enjoy an evening in Washington’s cultural center,” he said.

Leiter added that President Donald Trump contacted him to tell him “his administration is going to do everything it can possibly do to fight and end antisemitism and the hatred that’s being directed, the demonization and delegitimization of the State of Israel.”


Prosecute it as terrorism and give the fuck the needle.

CHICAGO (WGN) — FBI agents in Chicago raided a residence on the city’s Northwest Side on Thursday morning as investigators look to piece together what led to the shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members in Washington, DC.

The deadly shooting unfolded Wednesday night as the victims were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.

Authorities said the suspect, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, a Chicago resident, was taken into custody just after the shooting after he walked into the museum and was detained by event security...

...Few details about the shooter were available Thursday, but a spokesperson for the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) confirmed that he was an employee...

Bowser should be charged with propagating this violence and held without bond for four years.

The left is slowly opening a can of woe that will not end the way they think it will.

chbibc--I had until just now not thought of it that way, despite knowing that Hamas has acted in a way far more reprehensible than the Nazis, who were ashamed for the world to know what they were doing.
And the Palestinian Authority is only marginally better than the ultimate evil of Hamas.

We can't even get the elites and mainstream media to say that the Communists were as bad as the Nazis. "No enemies on the Left" is I think from the 1920's, but is as true today, since the extreme left performed their coup d'état and removed Biden from his role as president.

On that side you have the most extreme, violent Left allied with the most extreme, violent Islamists. They are being let loose on our society in order to punish us for being white, for loving America, for defending Israel.

The young man wasn't even Jewish.
Free Palestine is a terrorist movement. All of it.
Time to classify it as such.

Well the left has a new hero now, this guy and the United Healthcare CEO murderer. They sure know how to pick em. I hope the Center and old school Democrats are paying attention, this is your voting block, do you like being associated with these people?

Cue the media to air opinions on 'both sides' of the murders/terroristic act.

I just posted something on X:

quote:
For all those of us distraught by the brutal murders at the Jewish museum:
1. This was a public gathering at an openly Jewish event, with members of the Israeli Embassy staff present.
2. There was security present. In fact, it's reported that a "security person" let the shooter in to the event.
3. The shooter lingered after the shooting, apparently pretending to be a "witness".
Given the above, I haven't seen anyone asking the question: How was this allowed to happen, given an ongoing war in Gaza; given semi-violent demonstrations around the U.S. against Israelis and Jews?
Someone at the Israeli Embassy should answer, I think, for the appalling deficiencies in security.


Am I wrong?

Anyone notice:
When a lunatic attacked Polosi's husband, the media was quick to jump on some scrap of pro-MAGA paraphernalia found in the attacker's house as evidence that "Trump's extremist right-wing language inspires this type of violence".

So they will now analyze every scrap of paper in Elias Rodriguez dwelling place to determine which political figures inspired his act of violence, right?



... stirred anti-clockwise.
