The Gaza War Comes to DC

One of the many benefits of globalization and mass immigration is the way that different groups of foreigners can extend their violent conflicts to your country.

A pro-Palestinian gunman suspected of shooting a young Jewish diplomatic couple dead was seen in chilling video manically screaming ‘Free Palestine’ as he was hauled into custody. Chilling footage emerged overnight of 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez as he was taken into custody after two Israeli embassy staffers were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.

Israeli embassy staffer Yaron Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were identified as the victims in the vile attack that was condemned by President Donald Trump. Lischinsky was a German-Israeli dual national employed as a research assistant for Middle East & North African Affairs at the Embassy’s Political Department, according to his LinkedIn profile. 

Details emerged of the suspect’s background and political affiliations overnight on Thursday, including his reported membership of a far-left group. He’s believed to have been involved in activism with the Part for Socialisma and Liberation and Black Lives Matter.

And now we get to listen to somber lectures about anti-semitism, October 7th, and the Holocaust, as if tens of thousands of Palestinians aren’t being murdered in their homeland. But it’s really not that difficult. Pakistanis and Indians are squaring off everywhere from Toronto to Birmingham, UK because of what’s taking place in Kashmir. The Israeli diplomat was targeted for assassination because of what Israel is doing in Gaza, not because random Hispanic immigrants happen to harbor irrational hatred for Jews.

What should be of considerably more concern to everyone is that the killer wasn’t Palestinian, or even Arab or Muslim. It’s another sign that the vast majority of the world is vehemently opposed to the Netanyahu regime and its insane campaign of murderous ethnic cleansing in Gaza. It’s a little difficult to convincingly cry victim when everyone knows which party is the aggressor and initiated the hostilities.

UPDATE: Didn’t that hater know that diplomats are supposed to be sancrosanct!

Approximately one hour ago, around 7:47 AM eastern US Time today, Israeli soldiers fired at foreign diplomats from European and Arab states who were touring Jenin in the West Bank. The delegation reportedly included 35 ambassadors, consuls, and diplomats from the European Union, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Jordan, China, Russia, Japan, and others.
