Two staff members at the Israeli embassy in Washington are shot dead near a Jewish museum.
The shooting took place late Wednesday outside the Capital Jewish Museum, which was hosting an American Jewish Committee event at the time of the incident.
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the deaths in an X post, saying, “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”
The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, "chanted 'Free, free Palestine,’ while in custody," she added.
Zionists can whine all they want for my response but I don't give a damn about these people who genocide others. I am not saying he deserved to die but I don't want to see Zionists playing victim when they're the perpetrators of international law.
I don't necessarily believe that civilians are legitimate targets, but these two men, the government they served, and the government of the country they were killed in, are all extremely firm believers that they are.
I'm very conflicted on this. On the one hand, it is a good thing when genocide collaborators die, that's two less to worry about, but on the other, this could serve as a catalyst for further Zionist crackdowns on free speech.
shooter’s manifesto. this will be spun as some anti-semitic bs when its clearly a desperate last act given the crackdown on peaceful protests and our politician bribed enough by aipac not giving a fig about them even when public opinion is overwhelming against israel.
no one deserves death for others actions but an israeli delegate is much more complicit than those helpless children and other innocents getting butchered everyday by israel.
these rich brats had a choice to be not part of the ongoing genocide or even make a stand. the children and families without water and food trapped in gaza have no choice other than to be target practice for idf scum
They will spin this off for anti semitism. Nothing to do with genocide in Palestine. Thank God for whoever invented the cameras in cell phone that we could see the massacre around the world. Imagine how bad it was before smart phones were invented.
Adventurism sets back this movement of ours. This is what a revolutionary spirit without theory to back it up does. ADL is already using this as casus belli to silence pro-Palestine voices. CIA and Mossad are popping champagne bottles as we speak. And all they lost were two ultimately expendable Zionist bureaucrats. This is a fucking disaster.
