Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum

A suspect is in custody after shooting dead two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.

The gunman, named by police as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, approached a group of four people leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum and opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.

Metropolitan police chief Pamela Smith said the shooter had been pacing outside the museum, which is steps away from the FBI’s field office, before the shooting.

After killing the pair, who officials said were a couple, he walked inside, where event security detained him. The suspect yelled: “Free, free Palestine,” after he was arrested, police said.

ITT: People fine with innocents being murdered because of their ethnicity.

Fucking hypocrites.

Lischinsky “I’m an ardent believer in the vision that was outlined in the Abraham Accords and believe that expanding the circle of peace with our Arab neighbours and pursuing regional cooperation is in the best interest of the state of Israel and the Middle East as a whole. To this end, I advocate for interfaith dialogue and intercultural understanding.”

Milgrim organised visits and missions to Israel. She was also a volunteer at Tech2Peace, an advocacy group training young Palestinians and Israelis and promoting dialogue between them.

Tech2Peace said Milgrim was an active volunteer who “brought people together with empathy and purpose”.

What does that have anything whatsoever to do with this being about an "ethnicity"? (It doesn't)

But anyway

What a fun, peace loving dude.

More recently, Lischinksy reposted a message from Ambassador Amir Weissbrod, which stated that the UN lied about 14,000 babies being at risk of dying in Gaza.

Oh wait

Lischinksy wrote, “Significant strikes against the Houthis today. Despite what they say, the group suffered heavy blows in recent months.

“These efforts must be sustained and continued. If they keep shooting, Houthi leadership + QF operatives in Yemen should be next.”

Of course, they'll occasionally go for some super soft "peace" initiative that realistically goes nowhere and conveniently supports the normalization of Israel's existence on occupied land instead of a peace which involves the dismantling of the Zionist state, Palestinian authority of the zone, and massive reparations.
