Gunman Murders Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Outside Jewish History Museum in DC, Shouting "Free, Free Palestine"

The media's not interested in this story. That's a big clue about the killer.

A senseless act of violence rocked the Israeli diplomatic community in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, when two young embassy staffers--Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim--were fatally shot in the street outside the Capital Jewish Museum.
The victims had just attended the American Jewish Committee's ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception when the attack unfolded. According to witnesses, the suspected gunman shouted "Free, free Palestine" before opening fire--a chilling reminder of how far antisemitic violence has escalated under the cover of radical political slogans.
Both Lischinsky and Milgrim served in the Israeli Embassy in D.C.--he as a research assistant in the Political Department, and she in Public Diplomacy. Lischinsky, a former member of the Israel Defense Forces, had planned to propose to Milgrim during an upcoming trip to Jerusalem. He had purchased the ring earlier this week.
"This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC," the Embassy of Israel to the United States said in a somber statement. "The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss."
Israel's Ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, confirmed the couple's identities and expressed the profound sorrow felt across the Israeli diplomatic corps. He described the pair as young, promising representatives of Israel who had devoted their lives to diplomacy and truth--and who were robbed of a future together.

They had just gotten engaged, but a leftist indulged his mental illness, so now they're dead and that's that.

You won't be seeing this on Jake Tapper's show. He covers attacks on his fellow Jewish citizens, but only when those attacks are perpetrated by political enemy groups.

Police have identified Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old Chicago leftist activist, as the sole suspect in the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC. Authorities are investigating the attack as potentially ideologically motivated and antisemitic.
Key Details:
Rodriguez is reportedly affiliated with the Party for Socialism & Liberation and participated in BLM and anti-Israel protests.
He was arrested at the Capital Jewish Museum after shouting, "Free, free Palestine."
President Trump condemned the attack as rooted in antisemitism; Israel is boosting embassy security worldwide.
...
Rodriguez is not just a suspect in a criminal case--he's also allegedly an active member of the far-left Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL), a group known for organizing anti-Israel protests and promoting radical socialist ideology. He has previously marched with Black Lives Matter, the People's Congress of Resistance, and ANSWER Chicago, all of which have sharply criticized Israel and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
Adding fuel to the ideological fire, PSL had posted an "anti-genocide pledge" against Israel earlier the same day as the shooting, suggesting potential ideological coordination or at least timing that investigators may explore. Rodriguez is also allegedly connected to The History Makers, a nonprofit that records African American oral histories, where he worked as a researcher.

The left is at literal war against the rest of society, and we just sit around and say "How terrible." Meanwhile, the Democrat Party sends money to the killers' and jihadists' GoFundMe accounts.

If Democrats were mad about revoked visas for "Palestine" supporters before, they better buckle up. Because there are about to be a lot more of them.

Update: Ken Klipperstein published this left-wing terrorist's manifesto.

🚨 BREAKING: Chaotic scene tonight inside Washington DC Capitol Jewish Museum where, just outside, 2 people (potentially Israeli diplomatic) who may have been attending an American Jewish Committee Young Diplomats event (one I organized years ago) shot & killed.

33 This is so sad and so infuriating. Since 10/7,there have been posts after posts showing pictures of the people who lost their lives for absolutely no reason. Beautiful people in the prime of theri lives, getting ready to start families and contribute to society in countless ways that we will never see now. Israel posts pictures of each and every soldier killed fighting this senseless battle. They are mostly young, in their 20's, pulled from productive lives to fight this senseless war.
Islam contributes nothing to civilization. No art, music, literature, architecture, scientific discoveries, medical miracles. All they do is promote death and destruction wherever they habitate.
If this one act last night becomes symbolic of all that is being lost by tolerating this absurd death cult, so be it. It is just too bad that all the deaths before were not enough.

I'd say nothing recent, sure, but "islam", or the Islamic World, contributed an amazing amount of art and literature to the world. We don't learn about any of it because it's not really part of our cultural canon. And most of the good stuff is from countries and periods where they had enough power accumulated to be a bit more relaxed about things. But it isn't a complete cultural vacuum at all.

It is actually kind of fascinating that when the Christian World is in turmoil is when they churn out their greatest advancements in science and literature and art, but it's when the Muslims are fat and happy and comfortable that they crank out theirs. You could probably write a dissertation and make a whole academic career on that idea.

They never grew up beyond like age 9 where mommy and daddy just provide everything and that's how the world works.

I have seen several videos of people whining that it not fair, that they shouldn't have to work their whole life just to survive. That they don't want to have to go to work every day just to eat and have a place to sleep.

Be better.

This has nothing to do with the shootings of the deaths themselves. It is about the fascists disappearing legal residents into foreign prisons. They will attempt to turn this horrific incident from a crime against two innocent people and their families as a pivot point to enacting more draconian measures.

No one is denies it is terrible those people lost their lives, but if you don't understand what kind of monsters we have running this country right now, you need to wake up.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

150 This despicable vermin should get a speedy trial and a first class hanging on the National Mall with required live coverage by every news media company. The last thing he hears should be a recorded message saying never again repeatedly and louder on each repetition until it reverberates through the Mall. So loud it makes his ears bleed and he screams for mercy. Only then should the trapdoor open.
After the silence descends and the only sound is the creaking of the rope, then, President Trump should speak saying only, "this is what is waiting for the terrorists, the evil that harms the innocent. If you want to kill Jews, or white people, or black people, or innocent people of any kind, this is where you will end. We will not stop until you are hanging here too."

You can see him turn his head towards the wall in order to do so the third time the shooter chanted the phrase, and he was finally caught on camera again.

You can be mad at “The Book” bc you’d rather be talking about how bad Trump is. I get it. But just know, every attack on journalism makes Trump stronger.

And they are far more susceptible to the political argument that attacking the debt are going to mean cuts to their SS & Medicare and reduce their wealth. I don't think that argument will work as effectively on subsequent generations.

I think you can address the debt and spending without addressing SS & Medicare. But any cuts in spending will always be casted as a cut to SS & Medicare. It is an effective political argument.

I am also not so sure that SS & Medicare can't be sustained for a while. Whatever the numbers we have, its hard to actually believe we are being given the total truth.

Is it a pyramid scheme - yes. But how far upside down are we? Who knows. May not be as bad as we are being told, but could be worse?

========

I only ask now if its possible to cut SS and Medicare spending without actually affecting benefits to actual people.

Medicare and Medicaid have been untouchable by Congress for decades, and we know how out of control spending actually within the pervue of Congress has gotten.

Why do we assume that Medicare and Medicaid cuts, drastic, massive cuts, would actually affect beneficiaries? Should we give the government agencies that have been operating without any real oversight at all (remember, Secretary of the Treasury hasn't had access actual data since the 40s) have been doing things honestly? Why?

370 358 I would suggest to Israel, the "international community" will never forgive you for being the victims of Oct 7 or the Holocaust. You will never get even a breather for being kind in Gaza. You need to move the Muslims out and do it now.

What do you think they've been doing?

They are dumping them all over white, Christian western nations.

Only Jews would move to the middle of a bunch of Muslims and say "Oy! Move all these Muslims elsewhere!"

371 I think you can address the debt and spending without addressing SS & Medicare.

No. No you can't. If those are untouched, you aren't serious about reducing the deficit and debt.

-----------------

We've been told that my whole life. At this point, I'm willing to challenge some assumptions. But you can most certainly address the debt (or at least spending) without touching that. Isn't that what DOGE is doing?

372 Once the trust funds are exhausted, I don't think the law allows Medicare of Social Security benefits to exceed FICA tax receipts. Of course the elderly will complain, and if it happened during a Republican administration, the Dems would be screaming their ugly heads off.

375 I think it is fair to ask for other crap to be cut before SS.

Remember the budget was horribly bloated at $2T. Under Biden it went to $8T...all waste and graft.

It's both/and.

More of a prioritization issue, really. Which are you going to go after first?

The obvious priority array would seem to me to be:
- Really low hanging fruit (outright fraud, COVID relief scams, etc) that there's a little bit of
- Low hanging fruit (SS/MedicX fraud, welfare fraud) that there's a whole great big shitton of
- Thorny issues (the existence of SS/MedicX itself, welfare programs, etc)

We're probably several administrations away just from the second one, yet, if we're being realistic. But it's not about raw numbers, it's about trajectory. Any form of debt recovery is. Get going in the right direction and then keep going. Don't try to hit any jackpots or rely on a dead rich uncle you've never heard of. Get the arrow pointed up-hill and then keep it there.

377 I have frequently said that I'd take a hit, even a big one, to my SS benefit if that cut was coupled with other cuts that would get the budget under control. As it is, I know full well that any money I walked away from would immediately be spent on something else really stupid.

CBS News: Man executed by firing squad was conscious for up to a minute after bullets missed target, lawyers say

People Magazine: Inmate Executed by Firing Squad Died in ‘Excruciating’ Pain After Bullets Missed His Heart, Autopsy Report Suggests

Mikal Deen Mahdi[a] (March 20, 1983 – April 11, 2025) was an American convicted spree killer who was executed for the murder of a police officer in South Carolina. Over a period of three days in July 2004, Mahdi, then a resident of Virginia, went on a multistate crime spree, committing carjacking, firearm robbery, and three murders, for two of which he was tried and found guilty.

382 >>> 5%? Maybe .5%. The percentage of people who say they care about the debt is fairly high. But the percentage of people who will give up anything -- like even $5 -- to actually try to reduce the debt is very close to zero.

I would give up a significant amount approaching 100% of leftist state SALT cap tax reductions. In fact I would be in favor of taxing those aholes even more. Make them piggies squeal.

Same with foreign USAID type expenditures, zero all that and divert it to debt payment.

Also, tax the hell out of remittances. Whip out the old laffer curve and iterate for maximum confiscation. Don't like it? GTFO!

I'm too young (29yo) to believe SS will be around in a thousand years when I'm able to retire. (actually 12-15 years but same difference)

Well that is the flaw here, I think we're all willing to give up a lot to cut the debt and slim down government but... all they'd do is take our cuts and spend them on Queer Mozambique Opera and shrimp treadmill research.

387 This loser's "manifesto" is nothing more than an ad hoc rationalization of murder by people supposedly "with a conscience." Because he disagrees with the conduct of the Israeli government, his "conscience" permits him the right to kill two innocent people. Typical leftist tripe. Well, if someone disagrees with his vile conduct, I guess -- rationally -- their conscience permits them to off "Mom, Dad, baby sis, the rest of my familia..."

Fuck that guy. I hope he rots in hell.

389 The previous administration did all the harm it possibly could to the federal social security and multiemployer pension systems.
----------
>>Effected Retirees Receive Retro Payments to January 2024

Just seven weeks after the Social Security Fairness Act was signed into law by President Joe Biden, retirees receiving Social Security benefits that had been reduced by the WEP or GPO laws began to receive retroactive payments from Social Security dating to January 1, 2024.

The Fairness Act repealed both the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) laws retroactively to January 1, 2024.

>>FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces 1.2 Million Pensions Protected Under Biden-⁠Harris Administration, Celebrates Historic Support for Unions

Democrats saved union pensions after Hoffa's long campaign!!

OTOH, The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), which insures these plans, is facing a significant financial strain due to the underfunded plans. The ARP included a provision for Special Financial Assistance (SFA) to multiemployer plans, helping to stabilize their finances and ensure they can pay promised benefits.

390 I read the "manifesto." Not a single word from that piece of shit about what led to Israel invading the territory that Sharon foolishly gifted to the "Palestinians," just a bunch of faked up Hamas statistics on the number of deaths, every one falsely labeled "murder," when the clear fact is that Israel only kills in necessary self-defense, with lower collateral-damage rates than any other military in history, only approached by the U.S. military in Iraq.

Every Arab death in Gaza is a felony murder by Hamas. Not one death is on Israel, and it has been that way in every engagement since before 1948, but this scumbag murderer Rodriguez never even considers the issue of culpability.

He just quotes Hamas propaganda as fact and commits murder. He and everyone like him needs to be dead, or at least in Guantanamo/Alcatraz, ASAP.
