Two Israeli embassy staffers killed in Washington shooting, suspect held

Quote

May 21 (Reuters) - Two Israeli embassy staff were killed in a shooting outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night, and a suspect is in custody, officials said.

A man and a woman were shot and killed in the area of 3rd and F streets in Northwest which is near the museum, an FBI field office and the U.S. attorney's office. They were a young couple about to be engaged to be married, the Israeli ambassador said.

Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said a single suspect who was seen pacing outside the museum before the event was in custody. The suspect, tentatively identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, chanted "Free Palestine, Free Palestine," in custody, she said.

Officials say both victims of DC shooting were embassy staffers, were a couple about to get enganged [sic]

Jonathan Ernst)

Tal Naim Cohen, a spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, says two of its staff members were shot “at close range” while attending a Jewish event at the Capital Jewish Museum.

The Israeli embassy does not immediately respond to questions about the shooter, the victims or the motive for the attack, but other officials provide details and say the victims were a couple about to be engaged.

“The couple that was gunned down tonight in the name of ‘Free Palestine’ was a couple about to be engaged,” says Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter, adding that the man had bought a ring last week with the intention of proposing next week in Jerusalem.

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed two Israeli embassy staff members were killed.

“We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share,” Noem wrote in a post on X.

“We will bring this depraved perpetrator to justice.”

I can't help but say it, as long as Palestine exists at all, innocent people are going to be sent to their death.

What will it take for the western world to awaken to the genocidal society of Palestine, and send them where they belong, every last one of them?

Perhaps when they detonate a nuclear device smuggled into Israel from Gaza, which was provided by the good people of Iran. Perhaps then, but even then, I have my doubts.

2 Israeli Embassy staff shot and killed outside Jewish Museum in D.C.
Story by Kierra Frazier • 1h

Authorities give update on two Israeli Embassy employees shot and killed in Washington, D.C.
Two Israeli Embassy employees were shot and killed Wednesday night as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., officials said. A suspect is in custody.

In a late-night news conference, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith said the shooting was reported at 9:08 p.m. local time and occurred outside the museum, which is located near an FBI field office.

Smith said the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, was initially "observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum" before he approached a group of four people, "produced a handgun," and shot the two victims.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry identified the victims in a post on X, saying, "We are shocked and horrified this morning by the news of the brutal terrorist attack that claimed the lives of two of our Embassy staff members in Washington — Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. May their memory be a blessing."

Suspect Arrested, Identified in Fatal Shooting of Two Israel Embassy Staffers at DC Jewish Museum

Late last night, Twitchy reported on a fatal shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. As the situation unfolded at a Young Diplomats event at the museum, not much was known about the victims other than that they were Israeli Embassy staffers, and the man who shot them was reportedly wearing a keffiyeh and shouting 'Free Palestine!'

Sadly, we can now report some additional details about the victims, as well as information about the suspect, who has been taken into custody.

A guy with a Hispanic last name from Chicago goes to D.C. to kill two Jews. Will the fine police in D.C. and the MSM deny this was a hate crime?

A couple things should be investigated:

Was he a member of a neo-Nazi group?

Is he an illegal immigrant since Chicago has a large illegal population? If he is an illegal, will Chicago actually admit it?

This doesn't sound like the action of a loner, so who else knew about it and why was D.C. chosen?

Washington, D.C. – You’ve got to see this. A video from the Capital Jewish Museum shooting on May 21, 2025, has gone viral, racking up over 2 million views, and it’s revealing details that are sending shivers down your spine. The shooter, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, was heard chanting, “Free, free Palestine!” while in custody, and now we’re learning he’s tied to a left-wing group and had a job with a progressive outfit. Meanwhile, the victims were a young couple, about to get engaged, with dreams of a future in Jerusalem. It’s a story that’s breaking hearts and boiling blood, and President Trump’s already weighed in, calling for an end to this madness.

While the FBI was investigating parents who attended school council meetings, these people were completely ignored.

All Commies are equally evil, some are more evil than others.

Two Israeli diplomats shot, killed during event at Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC

Two diplomats were fatally shot 'at close range' outside the DC Jewish museum by a man who allegedly yelled 'Free, free Palestine!' after he was detained

By Elizabeth Pritchett Fox News
Published May 21, 2025 11:15pm EDT | Updated May 22, 2025 8:27am EDT

A pro-Palestinian man is in custody after allegedly killing two Israeli embassy staff members who were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, authorities confirmed.

The Embassy of Israel to the US identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, who were set to be engaged.

Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said during a news conference that officers responded to multiple calls of a shooting near the museum at around 9:08 p.m. on Wednesday.

When authorities arrived at the scene, a man and a woman were found unconscious and not breathing. Despite life-saving efforts from first responders, Smith said both were pronounced dead.

A 30-year-old man identified as Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, is believed to have committed the act alone and is in custody, Smith said, adding that his gun was also recovered.

... This did not happen in a vacuum. This is not a moment of individual madness. It is the metastasis of a movement whose core doctrine is antisemitic violence, sugarcoated in activist jargon and laundered through academic respectability. When mobs chant, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," they are not discussing borders. They are demanding the eradication of a nation. And increasingly, they are acting on it.

Consider the suspect. Rodriguez is not an anonymous drifter. He marched with BLM. He attended events organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People’s Congress of Resistance. [see https://x.com/thehoffather/status/1925412871934181589 for more on this] These are not peaceful organizations. They are revolutionary cells that openly call for the dismantling of Western institutions, the overthrow of capitalism, and the destruction of Israel. ...

Rodriguez was once linked to the Party for Socialism and Liberation — a far-left group that regularly posts anti-Israel rhetoric on social media.

“End the genocide. Israel out of Gaza now,” the group posted Wednesday — just hours before the DC shooting.

The group confirmed Rodriguez’s membership in the wake of the shooting as it distanced itself from the violence.

Megan,

That is true enough. But unfortunately, unlike the Allies effort of ending the Nazis, much of the world opposes the Israelis ending Hamas. And with the Constitution in Palestine spelling out their desire to destroy Israel and kill every Jew, I say that eliminating Hamas does NOT solve the problem. It may set them back a few years, but they will conspire to have another October 7th attack, on a larger scale down the road.

It is not just Hamas but the whole of the Palestinian mindset of genocide. There is but one solution.

When the muslim world uses a nuclear weapon, that will be the trigger to end them once and for all. To believe otherwise is just naive.

Some years back I heard on good authority of Israel's 'Masada' plan/strategy. In short a nuclear attack by any Muslim nation against Israel will result in Israel using nukes on every major Muslim population center. It is their version of MAD.

Mixed feelings on this.... it was murder (pretty clear).... the victims were pushing a LGBT+ display (not a fan which is an understatement)....

Seems the shooter was more focused on just the "kill the Jew" aspect though. Something ingrained in their heads from the time they could talk. Same can be said about what Islamic people think of the USA, but yet here they are just sucking all the oxygen out any location they claim to hate. Just waiting to strike like a viper that has been given freedom to roam.

I don't understand the Jewish obsession with pushing perversion though... Any real Jew would understand why. So we probable have secular Jews pushing every weirdo act one could imagine... Why even claim to be Jewish? You can visit sites that "hate the Jew" and they talk about this sexual deviance. Sadly it is true and keeps me from being 100% pro-Jewish.... I will not support the secular side of American Jewish, just as I would not support the deviance that was in Berlin during the 30s-40s. I can actually somewhat understand the dislike of some Jewish people.

I guess it boils down to dislike of the sin, both in Islam and secular Judaism (which is not really a religion IMHO). I fully support Christian Jews, somewhat support religious Jews, dislike most secular Jews and basically don't like any Islamic idiot.

Is that wrong?

If that offends someone... Sorry (Not Sorry)....

Suspect charged with murder following fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in DC

Elias Rodriguez , the suspect who allegedly murdered two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington D.C. on Wednesday night has been charged with two counts of murder.

According to the affidavit, Rodriguez has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

The two victims killed in the attack have been identified by Israel as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim.

“During an interview with MPD detectives, after having been advised of his Miranda rights and after waiving them, RODRIGUEZ expressed admiration for the actions of an individual who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., on February 25, 2024, as a form of protest intended to draw attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” the affidavit alleged. “RODRIGUEZ described this person’s actions as courageous and labeled him a ‘martyr.’ Rodriguez also stated that he had purchased a ticket to the event at the Museum approximately three hours prior to its commencement.”

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter described the pair as a "young couple about to be engaged," and noted that, "The young man purchased a ring this week," planning to propose "to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem."

A post on the official X account of the embassy of Israel to the United States stated that "a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC."

I have reviewed the criminal complaint against Elias Rodriguez. Here are the facts:

-Sarah Milgrim was shot multiple times, including when crawling away.

-Yaron Lischinsky was pronounce dead on the scene.

-Rodriguez turned himself over to police after they arrived. He told police “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza.”

-Police recovered twenty-one expended
9mm cartridge casings, a firearm magazine, and a 9mm handgun.

-Rodriguez expressed his admiration for Aaron Bushnell to police.

-He flew to DC on May 20 from Chicago with the firearm.

DC Terrorist’s Stunning Link To Democrat Rep. Is Revealed

Trending Politics News
By Mark Steffen
May 23, 2025

A Democratic congressman has been closely linked to the family of the pro-Hamas terrorist who gunned down a Jewish couple in Washington D.C. this week.

In February, members of Congress were invited to bring a guest to President Donald Trump’s speech, a solemn occasion that many use as a chance to grandstand by bringing constituents affected by the president’s latest executive action. That courtesy extended to the father of suspected gunman Elias Rodriguez who on Thursday was charged with murdering a soon-to-be engaged Jewish couple leaving a late-night function.

Rodriguez, a native of Chicago, lived in the district of Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL) who said in a statement he never met the deranged young man and barely knew his family, despite inviting the his father, Eric Rodriguez, to sit with him at President Trump’s speech.

“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” the Democrat’s office said in a statement.

A far-left, anti-Israel group in the Bronx cheered the suspected terrorist accused of gunning down the two Israeli Embassy staffers in an antisemitic attack.

The Bronx Anti-War group said what alleged gunman Elias Rodriguez “did is the highest expression of anti-Zionism” and “We need more Elias Rodriguez in this world” in a pair of social media posts Thursday.

The shocking statements quickly drew fire from Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres.

It makes no sense that a Latino guy with a prominent father would suddenly become another Democrat Antifa Nazi. Why? Why does he care about Jews? Don't the Latinos have enough causes of their own? Why would he suddenly branch out to become a Hamas supporter with all the stuff already on his plate?

His father recently went to a Trump event. I think this might be 'daddy issues'. He wanted to screw over his moderate father (which he certainly did do) like an impulsive spoiled brat. Elias will soon discover that his daddy tantrum will cost him his life. Life in prison or death penalty, either way he flushed his whole life down a toilet supposedly for 'Palestine', to which he has no connection and it means nothing to him.

When reality finally hits him, when he realizes the daddy can't save him from this, when he realizes that his life is over from now on, he will wake up like from a trance. Then he goes into depression and becomes suicidal.

All for Palestine? I don't think so. Something made him do this. I doubt his motivation was anything to do with 'saving gaza'. That just makes no sense.

Just how did he get past airport security with a functioning 9mm gun?

Checked bag. Not sure how he got it into ORD though.

I'm no shrink, but I do have a visceral understanding of human nature.

Incidents like this, praised in the press or online, will only embolden the next wave of violent acts.

Without swift and dire consequences for this sort of behaviour, whether it was directed at Insurance company executives or against Jewish couples, (essentially, whoever the Left is pumping up the Hate for), there will be an accelerating decay of law and order, and random (or not so random) assassinations like this, perpetrated against people the perpetrator has no first hand knowledge of.

I propose bringing back public hangings, firing squads, or the like (considering drawing and quartering is out).
