The shock is that more of this hasn’t happened, what with all the Jew and Israel hatred emanating from the Democratic Party and all the Islamists they support
Two Israeli Embassy workers shot and killed near Jewish museum in D.C.
A young Israeli couple was shot dead near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington late Wednesday by a gunman who chanted “free, free Palestine” after the shooting, according to authorities. A suspect was in custody.
The victims were both Israeli Embassy employees, authorities said. They were exiting the museum in Northwest Washington after attending an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee when the gunman opened fire, authorities said.
The state of Israel’s X account identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. Israeli government officials said Thursday that Lischinsky was a research assistant in the embassy’s political department and that Milgrim organized missions and visits to Israel.
Lischinsky and Milgrim were “in the prime of their lives” and planning to get married, said the Israeli Embassy and its spokeswoman Tal Naim. “Instead of walking you down the aisle, we are walking with you to your graves,” Naim said Thursday on X.
The shooting will be investigated as a possible hate crime, Steven J. Jensen, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington field office, said during a news conference hours after the shooting. Israeli officials on Thursday referred to the killings as a “terrorist” attack motivated by antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiments.
Fortunately it will be a federal case, not a D.C. case, since the moonbats in the D.C. prosecutors office and the judges would probably lower the charges to misdemeanors or dismiss them. But, yes, this is the natural progression of all the Jew hatred on college campuses along with all the elected Democrats and Hollyweirdos and such taking the side of Palestinians, who want to kill all the Jews and erase Israel.
Smith said police believed the shooting was carried out by one person and that a suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, was in custody.
It took the Washington Post that long to identify the murderer. Of course, the failed in trying to identify Rodriguez, just like most Credentialed Media outlets
It takes Netizens to expose who Elias Rodriguez is.
As Mr Dana repeats, repeatedly… in war, civilians die…
As many as 50,000 Palestinian chldren, women and men have been killed in the Israeli attacks.
But seriously, this murder is horrendous.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi gave an interview this AM regarding the attack, and was… spectacular. Really. Absolutely wonderful. Ms Bondi also said the murder was a politically-motivated hate crime but likely an isolated event.
So you believe that two people walking down the street constituts a war?
How many Israelis have been killed in Muslim/terror attacks?
You wouldn’t say anything was absolutely wonderful about any Republican especially a MAGA Republican so I can only assume you’re being sarcastic when you say “the murder was a politically-motivated hate crime but likely an isolated event”. What do you really think?
He’s your man, Ellie. Embrace him.
Here’s your man, Jimbo…
another one of your men, Jimbo…
The ‘courageous’ Bowers was driven batshit crazy by the Jews supporting asylum for Central Americans. Fortunately, he had an AR-15 for admininistering judgment on the elderly Jews. Jews helping Mexicans was just too much for this white christian nationalist!!
These are your men, Jimbo. Embrace them, asshole.
The suspected murderer/terrorist, Elias Rodriguez, 30, lives in Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago and works for the Chicago-based American Osteopathic Association. He was apparently born in Chicago. It is unclear where and how he obtained the handgun. Rodriguez has a history of protesting against the Israel-Gaza violence.
About 50 people are murdered every day in the USA
Are these 2 humans to be regulated as somehow more deserving of our attention or sympathy as the other 48?
Yes, of course. It’s a tragedy, but will be used to fuel the right-wing grievance machine. In that respect, at least for the American right, the murders were a net positive.
Bowers, a white natioalist who hated Jews and Mexicans, killed 11 Jewish worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Other than to try to sanitiize Bowers’ right-wingery, the right was quiet.
Once the right has a stranglehold on America, they’ll have little use for Jews except as enemies. 75% of American Jews vote for Democrats, which irks our right-wing co-citizens. They use Jews today as a counterpoint to Muslims, whom the right hates even more, and wants to eradicate.
The esteemed Mr Dowd wrote:
I’d note here that Robert Gregory Bowers committed the crime in 2018. He was shot and wounded by police and later indicted on 63 federal charges, including some which carried capital sentences. He sought a plea bargain for a sentence of life without parole, but federal prosecutors denied that. It took a long time to bring him to trial, due to all sorts of legal motions, and prosecutors under both the first Trump Administration and the thankfully only Biden Administration — the trial didn’t actually begin until May 30, 2023 — pursued the death penalty, and a capital sentence was obtained, the only one under President Biden. When Mr Biden issued his 37 commutations of capital sentences to life without parole, Mr Bowers was one of the only three whose death sentences were not commuted.
I don’t recall conservatives pleading for mercy for Mr Bowers; I do recall a lot of them complaining that the autopen-signed commutations for the other 37 should be considered invalid.
Yes, there are a few, with the operative word being ‘few,’ conservative anti-Semites. Meanwhile, the American left is loaded with them, tens or thousands, hundreds of thousands marching to support the ‘Palestinians’ and Hamas, and their desire to kill or expel — they’d prefer killing them — from the Holy Land. The distinguished Mr Dowd tries to conflate a few kooks on the right as being an out-and-out threat, while blithely ignoring or making excuses for the wholesale ant-Semitism on the left.
Mr Dana claims there are a few conservative anti-Semites, but that the American left is loaded with them! Nonsense. Again, Mr Dana conflates opposing Israel’s bombing of civilians with anti-Semitism.
Conservatives became “pro-Jewish” after 9/11 as their fear of Muslims increased.
Why does Mr Dana believe that the 5.5 million American Jews support the Democratic Party? Are they naive? Stupid?
Our silly socialist wrote:
Except, of course, virtually every report of demonstrations in support of Hamas and the ‘Palestinians’ is accompanied by reports of Jewish students being intimidated.
Some of us were “pro-Jewish” well before September 11th, but by that we were, and are, pro-Western civilization. It didn’t take 9?11 for us to realize that Israel represents Western civilization, the last outpost of Western civilization, before the frontiers of barbarism.
As to why American Jews vote heavily Democratic, yes, they are naïve, and yes, some of them really are stupid. A large percentage of American Jews are urbanites, and urbanites are heavily infected with urban culture, excusing crime, excusing uncivilized behavior. Too many liberal urbanites believe the claims that Islam is the ‘religion of peace,’ even as the Muslims openly tell you that they intend to conquer and kill the West, and impose barbaric Shari’a law on all of the survivors. The people who have ‘educated’ the ability to distinguish between the sexes out of themselves have also managed to ‘educate’ the ability to see what is right in front of their faces out of themselves as well.
