Two Israeli embassy staff members were gunned down in Washington, D.C. The alleged shooter, identified as Elias Rodriguez, reportedly shouted “Free, Free Palestine” while being arrested.
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. Those are the two people who were shot to death on the streets of Washington, DC. They were a young couple working at the Israeli Embassy and were reportedly planning to get engaged in Jerusalem the following week.

Let’s not pretend this happened in a vacuum. This is the end result of years of unchecked Democratic rhetoric, media coddling, and university campuses being turned into recruitment hubs for Hamas sympathizers. The blame? It doesn’t just sit with the man holding the gun — it also belongs to every politician, professor, and protest organizer who normalized this madness.
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.

From Ivy League Tents to Capitol Flags: The Pipeline of Radicalization
Calling these campus uprisings “protests” was absurd from the start. I said it when Columbia, Yale, Harvard, and NYU students started pitching tents and chanting slogans — this wasn’t peaceful dissent. It was a breeding ground for radicalization. Let’s drop the pretense: Hamas is a terrorist organization, and these encampments aren’t about justice — they’re about indoctrination. Universities have gone from lecture halls to launchpads for extremism.
And it’s not just the universities — it’s members of our own government fueling this fire. Ilhan Omar publicly claims that white men are the root of most violence in America. Really? Was Elias Rodriguez — the man reportedly shouting “Free Palestine” while murdering two Israeli diplomats — one of those white men she warned us about? Then there’s Rashida Tlaib, parading the Palestinian flag through the halls of Congress like it’s a badge of honor.

You obviously have to laugh at the Palestinian flag next to the LGBT flag outside Rashida Tlaib’s office pic.twitter.com/9lSDZwzFXt

This isn’t just disgusting — it’s dangerous. Their rhetoric gives cover. Their symbolism sends a signal. And now, two people are dead. They may not have pulled the trigger, but they helped load the ideological gun.
For a firsthand account of the tragic events in Washington, D.C., watch the press conference held by Mayor Muriel Bowser following the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum. This video provides official details and the city’s immediate response to the incident.
They Built the Stage. Now the Body Count Has Started.
This is where all the pandering, posturing, and cowardice has led — to blood in the streets of our own capital. And don’t expect the usual calls for unity or understanding. We’re past that. There won’t be campus vigils or moments of reflection. The same people who spent years justifying this hate will either stay silent or double down. They won’t mourn the victims — they’ll rationalize the killer. This wasn’t some fringe act. It’s the logical outcome of a culture that excuses violence when it aligns with their politics and calls it “justice.” Two people are dead. And the ones who helped build the stage for this horror are still holding the mic.
When I first saw the headline this morning, I assumed — like so many of us probably would — that it happened somewhere abroad. Maybe in Israel. Maybe in a region already on edge. But no. This was Washington, D.C. Two Israeli embassy staff members gunned down just steps from the Capital Jewish Museum. Right here on American soil. And the second I realized that, I wasn’t shocked — I was furious. Because we’ve seen this coming. The warning signs have been blinking red for years, and no one with power had the guts to hit the brakes.
