‘Free Palestine’ shouts Brave Rodriques: Two Zionist ‘israeli’ Embassy Staffers Sent to Hell in Washington
In a tragic incident near a Jewish museum in Washington, two staff members from the Israeli embassy have been fatally shot.
Late Wednesday, a shooting occurred outside the Capital Jewish Museum while it was hosting an event organized by the American Jewish Committee.
The United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, announced the unfortunate fatalities in a post on X, stating, “We are actively investigating and working to obtain further information for public dissemination.”
Tal Naim Cohen, a spokesperson for the Israeli embassy, has confirmed that two staff members were shot “at close range” during their attendance at the event.
In a social media post on X, Israeli Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli identified Yaron Lischinsky, aged 28, as among the embassy staff members who lost their lives.
The second victim has been identified as Sarah Milgrim, a Jewish American who served at the Israeli embassy in Washington.
Washington Police Chief Pamela Smith announced that authorities have detained a lone suspect who was observed pacing outside the museum prior to the incident.
The individual identified as Elias Rodriquez, aged 30, from Chicago, Illinois, reportedly chanted “Free, free Palestine” while in custody, according to sources.
Global discontent towards Israel has intensified following October 7, 2023, when the nation initiated extensive military operations in the Gaza Strip.
After more than 19 months of intense conflict, the occupying force has not succeeded in meeting its stated goals in Gaza. The hostilities have resulted in the deaths of at least 53,655 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, and have left 121,950 others injured.
Israeli and American officials stated that the shooting was motivated by anti-Semitism, a term often employed by these authorities to justify actions in Gaza and the suppression of pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
Trump expressed strong condemnation of the incident on his Truth Social media platform, stating, “These appalling D.C. killings, clearly rooted in antisemitism, must come to an immediate halt! Hatred and radicalism have no place in the United States.”
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio pledged to pursue and hold accountable those responsible, promising to bring them to justice.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the shooting as a “despicable antisemitic terror attack.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that security measures will be intensified at the nation’s embassies globally.
In a significant development, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu, aligned with far-right views, attributed responsibility for Wednesday’s attack to Yair Golan. Golan, a former deputy chief of staff and leader of the Democrats party, previously accused the regime of engaging in the killing of babies in Gaza as “a hobby.”
Golan asserted that the rhetoric from members of the Israeli cabinet, particularly those aligned with the views of the controversial rabbi Meir Kahane, facilitated the attack and led to an unprecedented diplomatic isolation for Israel.
He pledged to oust Netanyahu’s administration and “ensure the safety of Jewish communities in Israel and globally.”
