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.
I forgot the part where that’s my problem.
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 celebrate their deaths and I wish this didn’t happen but if they support the same thing happening to other noncombatants, I have a hard time seeing how this isn’t karma.
I know it makes me a terrible person. But I have trouble coming up with any response to this except “good. The time for bullshit words is over”
They were judged under the standard they themselves espoused.
They were very pro Trump. The kind of Israelis that celebrate the genocide.
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.
Weak ass k/d ratio.
A 2.0 is pretty good, no?
This is HORRIBLE! Doesn’t he know you’re ONLY allowed to Murder CHILDREN and BABIES otherwise you’re ANTI SEMETIC!
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.
They were already cracking down. Did you forget what happened to the student protests?
Of course I haven’t, that’s what I’m referring to when I say further crackdowns. But cracking down is not a binary, and I think the cracking down worsening on account of these murders is a legitimate worry to have.
They were going to crackdown anyway. There is no form of effective resistance to Israel that they would not respond to with escalating violence
I understand the catch 22 of it. But they are already doing crackdowns, and even without this, they have already planned more crackdowns. So it means that being afraid/concerned about potential crackdowns only really helps the Zionists/fascists. Just like the Dems always being concerned about how the Republicans will react makes them not actually accomplish anything ever. Never bothered to force things like Roe v Wade into official law when they had chances and just kept it as just an up in the air thing. There are very much times and places for trying “good faith” efforts. But they mean nothing and get stomped on if you already know the other side is “bad faith” only.

The man who got shot had an active Twitter account. Very stand-up guy. Such a shame he got killed.
Won’t find me weeping for an active defender of genocide being put in the cemetary.
I mean he’s still a civilian and it it’s still murder but yeah hard to feel sad about it
He served in the IDF for three years before his current role. Now he worked diplomatically for the Apartheid to aid in ethnically cleansing all Palestinians.
It is truly terrible that this person who dedicated his life to dispossessing and murdering Palestinians was killed.
Literally the opposite of what I said. How do you go from ‘hard to feel sad about it’ to ‘ it’s truly terrible’?
Sounds like you struggle to read.
May I suggest your local library and some Goosebumps books to get you started? Work your way up from there.
Hey Goosebumps are great
Well he was but a simple innocent civilian enthousiastically participating in the genocide of all Palestinians. Killing such an innocent person is inexcusable.
? Who said he was innocent
Was he a civilian who was murdered or was he an active participant in a brutal mass murder of Palestinian women children and men, covered by countries which are participants in the genocide?
Anyways, the second amendment exists to combat tyranny.
Anyways, the second amendment exists to combat tyranny.
Just want to step in here and say that no interpretation of the second would cover a civilian killing a foreign diplomat, no matter how tyrannical 😂
He is by definition a civilian that was murdered. Legal definitions do not care about our political opinions. It appears to be very likely he was a civilian who deserved to be murdered but that does not change the definition
Do you struggle with understanding sarcasm through text?
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
“waow waow waow waow waow”
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.
