Pro Palestine man shoots and kills two Israeli diplomats

| May 22, 2025 | 43 Comments

Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, paced back and forth outside of Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. Rodriguez approached four people leaving the Museum and then began firing. Two of the four individuals were Israeli diplomats, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, who ended up dying as a result of the gunshots. Rodriguez entered the museum and was detained; he subsequently yelled, “Free, free Palestine!”

From Fox News:

Smith said the preliminary investigation shows Rodriguez was allegedly observed pacing back and forth outside the museum before he approached a group of four people exiting the building, including the two victims, and began shooting.

He then entered the museum where he was detained by event security. While in custody, he yelled “Free, free Palestine!” Smith said.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser described the shooting as “horrific,” and assured the community “there is no active threat.” She also said the city “will not tolerate this violence or hate.”

“We will not tolerate any acts of terrorism,” Bowser said, in part. “We will not tolerate antisemitism.”

Tal Naim Cohen, a spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in the capital, confirmed to Fox News that two diplomats were shot “at close range” while an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) was taking place at the museum.

“We have full faith in law enforcement authorities on both the local and federal levels to apprehend the shooter and protect Israel’s representatives and Jewish communities throughout the United States,” Cohen said.

The couple killed were engaged to be married and attending an event to raise money to help those in Gaza. Yet more evidence that Hamas definitely doesn’t want ANYONE helping the Palestinians. All they want is misery and power.

5JC

Oh and more completely shocking and surprising news about the shooter. He promoted himself from mostly peaceful arson and looting to mostly peaceful double homicide. Just remember the media tells us the left is non-violent, in fact never, ever forget that.

Why would she condemn her supporters?

Graybeard

IMNHO she is merely revealing herself as an anti-American operative for terrorists, and ought, therefore, to be treated accordingly.

Why even bother with a chute! Waste of tax dollars. Good shove out the back of a 130.

Graybeard

HIgh altitude NO chute works for this case, IMHO

Just like Al Sharpton protesting against “racism”, the Hamas leadership does not want a peaceful coexistence with their neighbor. No unrest equals no money flowing in as relief that their divert to their Swiss banks so that they can live in luxury in 5 star hotels in Qatar. Hack posted his tin foil hat conspiracy previously, but it bears worth repeating. The leaders of Hamas launched the attack to provoke an overwhelming response from Israel. Israel implements their FAFO Doctrine, Palestine gets reduced to rubble, Western Europe and America pour billions of dollars in relief to rebuild the territory, and Hamas leadership steals all the money. That business plan worked with the warlords in Somali, and in worked with The Clinton Global Initiative in Haiti.

Bill Clinton says every penny was accounted for, except the billions that he had no idea where they went.

Seems like a friendly wave from circus clowns to me. Santa is even in the back over there

All that picture needs is a second picture featuring a 2000 lb bomb impacting in the middle of those morons with some brrrrt follow up.

If this was a Hamas or Iranian hit, I say we MOAB those MFers and keep MOABing them until they’re able to ask the prophet of their fake religion who he intended as his successor.

My condolences to the families of those Israeli diplomats. You would think being in a western country on a diplomatic mission would guarantee a certain amount of safety. Apparently not. The Free Palestine crowd has plenty to answer for.

Graybeard

I hope not, but I fear that the Free Palestine crowd won’t answer until it is at the point of a blazing gun.

I would prefer otherwise, but am not hopeful for a peaceful resolution at this time.

Stay strapped.. violent leftists are everywhere.

Green Thumb

Sad.

Imma gonna go out on a limb here and say that there are a lot more of these doods out there, just waiting for an opportunity to do more of this type of attacks. If only DC had some Common Sense gun control laws, maybe this wouldn’t have happened? Is the /s/ necessary?

SFC D

It’s my understanding that DC is a “gun free zone”. That always works out so well.

5JC

They definitely couldn’t carry in DC as foreign diplomats.

SFC D

The American shooter couldn’t carry in DC either, yet here we are.

If they would just put a sign at the border:

Seemed to work pretty good everywhere I went in the Army.

From what I’ve seen, and American born leftest kid who has engaged in BLM demonstrations in the past.

Also just saw that someone was shot trying to invade the CIA:

Invest in more ammo, and carry everywhere you can.

Congratulations to The Media Industrial Complex for working-up a useful idiot to commit violence. The guy isn’t even Palestinian, or an Arab, but he took the lives of 2 Israeli citizens on behalf of the media agitators. Don’t tell me they don’t know what they’re doing. They’ll act all shocked and can’t believe how this guy became so radicalized. The young couples’ blood is on your hands.

The crazed killer is a 30 year old college student. That must have been his career. What happened in the past forty years. Back in my day, we finished college in four to five years and graduated in our early twenties. We didn’t spend a decade or more attending college.

5JC

He was also a protestor medic, now where have I heard that before?

It takes a lot of college debt to score an entry level position wiping the tables at Starbucks.

SFC D

Starbucks isn’t cool anymore. The bastards have instituted a dress code and forcibly removed the individuality of its baristas. Oh, the humanity!

Fuck it, just open the extermination camps.

Fact. Full Stop.
It’s WHAT THEY SAY!! LISTEN TO THEM!!!

I think it more fair to say that Palestinians cant coexist with anyone (including their brothers in Islam). Certainly the last 70 years have provided a solid testament to that.

SFC D

I attended Utah State University in the early 80’s. Had a few Iranian students, Arab students of variouos stripes, and a few Palestinians. The Arabs and Iranians all got along, but they were absolutely united in hatred of the Palestinians.

5JC

You have to remember the circles of trust. Against the West they are unified brothers in arms even if they hate the Palestinians to death.

SFC D

The Iranians I went to school with were mostly young Iranian Air Force officers, sent there by the Shah to learn aircraft mechanics. Very pro-western and absolutely fooked when the the Shah fell. They couldn’t return without being executed, and were doing everything they could to remain in the US.

“The friend of my enemy is my enemy.”
“The enemy of my friend is my enemy.”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

That’s their mentality in a nutshell as well as the proverb they live by.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

We would be wise to remember that more often than not, “the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy”….

Folks better learn quick, when the Jews say “Never Again”, they are not playing.

And the murderer is a D-rat activist, further proving that they are the Nazis while they project it onto us.

I don’t think there is a single person here who didn’t see something like this coming since the Pro-Palestinian ass clowns started yelling, and the media and left lent their whole hearted support. It wasn’t a matter of “if”, it was a matter of “when”…
Well, the “WHEN” has happened.
And still the pro-Palestine ass clowns are claiming they’re just using their “First Amendment Right” of “free expression” to advocate for their cause.

No, kids; first off there is no protection in the First Amendment of “expression”; that word doesn’t appear anywhere in the Bill of Rights. The words are “Freedom of Speech, or of the Press”, in addition the people have the right to “Peaceably assemble”. There is no protection for threats, or slander, or libel, or promotion of violence or insurrection.
Also, there is nothing in the Bill of Rights that says a person from a foreign nation has a right to be in this country without permission.
There IS an expectation in federal law that all people in this country behave in a civil manner toward each other or face sanctions provided by that law. This includes being removed from the country.
And one thing you will NEVER see in our system of law is something called Justifiable Murder.

Who’d a thunk that Far Left activists would be murdering Jews in the name of Islamic Terror and torching electric cars/chargers?
