Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum
A suspect is in custody after shooting dead two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.
The gunman, named by police as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, approached a group of four people leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum and opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Metropolitan police chief Pamela Smith said the shooter had been pacing outside the museum, which is steps away from the FBI’s field office, before the shooting.
After killing the pair, who officials said were a couple, he walked inside, where event security detained him. The suspect yelled: “Free, free Palestine,” after he was arrested, police said.
Ambassadors are appointed. If they were not in favor of the administration they would be recalled and replaced by ones that were.
It is beyond the shadow of a doubt that these people were directly involved in advocating for greater crackdowns on pro-Palestine antigenocide protesting.
It is a shame that they were murdered. It’s a greater shame that the deaths of these two people who consented to be a part of a war machine will get greater attention than the thousands of children they spent their final days ensuring would starve.
These two people are not anymore important than the hundreds of journalists doctors and aid workers Israel has murdered in their genocidal pursuit of their purified ethnostate.
These two people lived by the sword. These two people died by the sword. There are bigger problems in the world than the death of two soldiers in a war.
Dumbass take.
I suppose, but they weren’t ambassadors. So - that’s wrong.
Damn, a shadow of a doubt?! Holy shit you must have the motherfucking receipts on these sumbitches, let’s see it! Whatcha got, facebook post? Tiktok? Some sort of cleverly disguised academic treatise?
Yeah you got nothing. GTFO.
Oh FFS.
