The London Times reports.
Was the murderer misinformed? It seems more likely that he — along with many others — opposes "practical solutions," "regional co-operation," "humanitarian values," and "collaboration" as "the only path forward."
Look at the hopeful faces of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, who are now dead. Perhaps they were smiling so beautifully because they believed in humanitarian values.
The arrested man, Elias Rodriguez, "had been waving a red keffiyeh, which is often associated with the Marxist–Leninist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)." He asked for the police to be called, and, as you can hear, in video at the link, he shouts "Free Palestine! Free Palestine!" after he is handcuffed.

Among many other things, this indicates how the most reviled enemies of the antisemitic left are Jews sympathetic to Palestinian suffering as those at this event were. Like Hamas itself, these radical bigots want Palestinians to suffer and die. "Glory to the martyrs," they will say. "Globalize the Intifada." Well, this is exactly that. Right here in river city.
here's an idea; the murderer wasn't misinformed..
he was an evil murderer
The murderer drove all the way from Chicago. Death penalty.
I wonder if the media will argue that there is unfortunately a lot of violence in DC and these two people were just two more unfortunate victims. Or maybe the media will say these killings can't be talked about without the important context of the plight of the Palestinian people.
Democrat Party politics claims two more lives. Same lowlife pukes and lunatics that love Luigi the assassin are going to be thrilled.
Congratulations, Democrats and legacy media. Well done, you assholes.
This incident shows the difficulty of the position Israel is in. Most human beings would like to see the suffering in Gaza end, including many if not most Israelis. The problem is their opponent does not want the suffering to end because they believe it benefits their political position. Anyone who tries to extend a hand to civilians in Gaza gets it chopped off by HamaSS.
NYT's Thomas Friedman remains silent to further undeniable evidence of "From the River to the Sea."
I hope the cops can uncuff him long enough to receive his honorary doctorate from Harvard.
Death to the SOB. Quickly.
Socialism + Antisemitism = NSDAP reborn
Elias Rodriguez! Set aside the fact that left wing Jews did much of the dying (just like October 7th, what a coincidence), it gives you some idea of how much non-Arabs hate what Netanyahu is doing. As Israel loses support from Theo Von to Tom Friedman, normal Jews are going to be very worried indeed.
All participants came together to find practical solutions to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza...
No good deed goes unpunished.
So, anytime any in israel stubs their toe its headlines. Anytime any Israeli get killed anywhere in the world, its headlines. Meanwhile try to find some reporting on the Gazan women and children getting murdered everyday by Israel and the war criminal Bibi.
The US media will do story after story on a few poor Israeli hostage and refuse to report the 40000 Gazans killed by US supplied weapons and bombs.
He should be publicly executed by week’s end
Democrats are the party of hate and violence. We must repudiate them all.
“Free Palestine” is just an indirect way of saying “Death to the Jews”
hes another socalled blm supporter, mayor bowser, the chickens have come to roost, mawdawi and khalil should take a bow
More death appears to be the only practical solution?
Death to children?
How about... American taxpayers stop funding more death?
No more weapons sales abroad? No more choosing sides. Let each country "defend" itself, or fight with the weapons they can assemble...
Arming all the Jews here in America. Attacking Iran (ever a popular situation). Giving Israel more weapons, including the nukes they already have... None of this works, boomer.
Try Christ. Try peace. Try treating other people's children as you do your own. Love your neighbors. Turn some cheeks. But most of all...
stop sending US taxpayer billions to fund this. If you pay taxes, you are complicit in killing children. Be very wary of "hopeful" and happy faces today. Either they are ignorant, or they don't much care about the suffering in the world today. God knows. God will have his vengeance. The rest of us have to live through it.
Glad you've stopped begging for people to support your hobby, and appear to be content with what you have, ann. Baby steps.
The terrorist murderer may have been misinformed in one respect: both victims were Israelis, but apparently only the woman was Jewish - Twitter reports that the man was an Israeli Christian.
The killer's prominent membership in PSL, Antifa, and other leftie groups may be just what the FBI needs to investigate those groups, in particular their internal communications, arrest the more violent members and those who pay them to be violent, fine the less openly violent, and ask Congress to ban the groups.
David Burge (Iowahawk) on Twitter has a picture of a PSL banner saying "EXTERMINATE ZIONISTS!" and comments "How could the Future Jew Killers Club of Chicago possibly have known that one of their members would kill Jews"? Click here for his Tweet.
subtle aren't they
I wonder if the aging professor's skepticism and cruel neutrality -- and open mind, of course -- would ever lead her to consider, even if she discards, the theory that you could not have picked two more picture-perfect victims if Mossad wanted to draw sympathetic Americans into further... "standing by" Israel, or attacking Iran. Ditto the Oct. 7 attacks on the peacenik music festivald. What are the odds that security is so poor, and that the people getting killed are not the hard-core Zionists who advocate lives for land? Again, you could not have picked two more sad but "hopeful" victims, as your womanly emotions have seized upon. Not engaged (either you are or you aren't) but... "promised". Maybe he had given her a promise ring she accepted? Almost engaged. Sad. She grew up Jewish outside of Kansas City. Red head. Oh, mourn this loss of life, if the dead girls with black hair do nothing for your emotions...
If you deign to read today, try MLK's letter from the Birmingham Jail. It might have been read at all these do-goodie conventions, intent of course on ending the sacrifice of human lives for land. They're TRYing, don't cha know? Try harder, Dr. King might have urged...
"...and ask Congress to ban the groups."
No need for that. If they receive money for their illegal activities, then they already can be prosecuted under the RICO statutes. The O stands for Organizations. If no money is involved, then Party for Socialism and Liberation can be designated a terrorist organization by the President.
Free Palestine = Judenfrei
Then Nancy Milgrim’s phone rang. It was Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter. He said Ms. Milgrim and her boyfriend had died, and gave his condolences.It was a horrific moment, Mr. Milgrim said. He pointed to rising antisemitism since Israel went to war in Gaza following the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.“What went through my mind is, I feel the antisemitism that has surfaced since Oct. 7 and also since the election of President Trump,” Mr. Milgrim said. “It’s just an extension of my worst fears.”It was the ambassador who told them that Mr. Lischinsky had planned to propose in Jerusalem. Mr. Leiter separately told reporters that Mr. Lischinsky had bought the ring this week and intended to propose next week.“The ironic part is that we were worried for our daughter’s safety in Israel,” Mr. Milgrim added. “But she was murdered three days before going.”

Who murdered Ms. Milgrim really?
Lee Harvey Oswald? hm.

The marriage between Global Marxism and Global Islamism has created a network of bad. This is evil. These people are out of control, thousands regularly parading in favor of Hamas, in favor of beheadings, throwing gays off of buildings, raping, murdering. Not just Jews, but everyone, including Palestinians- for decades.
There is nothing positive that the global Marxists + Islamists can bring to any Western nation. And yet, we stand around and watch this nonsense- from Washington DC to London, Malmo to Madrid, Rotherham to Toronto, New York to Paris to Berlin to Turin, and on and on.
If you think this is just about the Jews, you'd be kidding yourself. They are coming for the entire West. They don't care about you. The Marxists have their reasons. The Islamists have their reasons. Together- for now- it doesn't matter the reasons. They are looking to break the West. This is not something that goes away if you ignore it.
Yaron Lischinsky, one of the Israelis killed last night, was a Christian.
"Free Palestine! Free Palestine!"
Yes, the Palestinians certainly should have a murderous Islamist shithole of their very own. The world needs more of those.
When the only chosen solution to all your problems is violence, you have hard time making friends, yet surprising they have quite few.
The Middle East is occupied by Palestinians and empathetic interests.
The shooter's Keffiyeh fell off.
Someone walked off with it.

Temojin writes, "Yaron Lischinsky, one of the Israelis killed last night, was a Christian."
Good point. Many of the victim of the Holocaust were Christians. They were forced to wear the yellow star, forced into the eastbound cattle cars, forced into the gas chambers because of their racial classification according to the doctrine decreed by Reinhard Heydrich. Religion had nothing to do with the Nazi genocide. Antisemitism is the paradigm of racism.

It seems more likely that he — along with many others — opposes "practical solutions," "regional co-operation," "humanitarian values," and "collaboration" as "the only path forward."
Seems like this attitude is prevalent among your commenters and President Trump and Netanyahu (granted he sees continuing the war as a way to keep his butt out of jail) for that matter.
The most popular solution here seems to be genocide or ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

This is about the temporary truce between Gramscian Marxism, global jihad and stupid Democrats. “Free Palestine” is the excuse for errant and violent behavior. Jihad wins in the long run for reasons that ought to be obvious to their consorts, but apparently are not.
Elias Rodriguez is not a middle eastern name. If he actually has no roots or links to the middle east then he was just a political activist who latched onto a cause that he probably didn't really understand. It may be that he had no dog in this fight and was only operating from propaganda filled hate speech.
well we've seen this with pinup mangione,

Definitely not what's desired, but Hamas and their supporters demand it every. single. day.. It's a massive case of suicide by cop, with the same motivation, same illogic, and same outcome. Even if you shoot them in the foot, they still try to kill you.
Eh, a huge percentage of the leftist coalition is open-borders scum and/or illegals, all Marxist. They are brainwashed and paid by the leftist gimmie politics that infects Central and South America. Hating Jews is just another slogan for them.
Oh, he belongs to ANSWER. That explains it.
ANSWER: Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (neither true), a pro North Korea, pro Palestinian group largely featuring Barack Obama's closest friend from Chicago, Professor Rashid Khalidi.
So Obama has strong ties to this.
See KeyWiki for their scores of coalition partners.
Either the killer came to kill any Jew or targeted this particular couple. I think a crime of passion can not be excluded at this point. Maybe he had a history with a woman?
Given he pretty much surrendered immediately after the assassination I'm gonna guess he wants to go the Luigi route.
Fame & "fortune" while he awaits the, hopefully, executioner.
ah khalidi, I didn't know how connected his family was to the whole haj amin husseini clique
All participants came together to find practical solutions to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
The practical solution is to Dresden one Palestinian town a day until the Palestinians unconditionally surrender, turn over all the hostages, and kill every member of Hamas.
Everything else is BS
The perp was a graduate of the University of Chicago and was for a while a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a revolutionary communist group.
It’s worth noting that the perp didn’t know he was shooting Israel Embassy staffers. He was outside the Capital Jewish Museum at an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee. He just thought he was killing Jews.
Elias Rodriguez is not a middle eastern name.
Neither is Freder Frederson. But they both want the same thing.
IsraAID's primary focus isn't on Gaza or Palestine. The organization and the conference attendees may be seen as leftwing or peacenik by the bomb everything and kill everyone crowd, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are.
Rodriquez has had quite an internet presence. I guess we'll be hearing that he was on the authorities' "radar screen." His slogan "Escalate For Gaza, Bring The War Home" is similar to what we heard from Weatherman during Vietnam.
“Can we PLEASE save the idealistic and high-minded debate over the morality of sending a truck bomb... until AFTER we send a truck bomb,” he wrote on 16 October 2024.
The practical solution is to Dresden one Palestinian town a day until the Palestinians unconditionally surrender
Thank you for demonstrating my point.
What Jeff Vader said. Hanged.
Death penalty, please.
“"The most popular solution here seems to be genocide or ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians."
That would be a terrible thing. The Palestinians are such a peaceful, fun-loving people, always making the best of adversity. Remember the joyous street parties they had on 10/7? Almost as much fun as 9/11. Where would the world be without them?
"The most popular solution here seems to be genocide or ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians."
But Freder. You and your friends keep on insisting on genociding and ethnic cleansing the Jews.
A hebrew can't catch a break around you guys.

Thomas Friedman has never supported Israel. The NYT has not supported Israel in any way at all in at least 30Y, probably 40Y.

Which point is that? The point that "fighting to win" isn't allowed for Jews?
Go take a look at the change in German borders between 1914 and 1950. You start a war and lose, then you often lose part of your country. It happened to the Germans, it happened to the Palestinians.
No one would have tolerated Germans in the 1950s - 60 whining about the "loss of Danzig" or claims that they have a right to demand Poland back, and we shouldn't tolerate any of that shit from the Palestinians, either.
They started the wars, they lost, they lose the land, they don't ever get it back. If they're not yet willing to accept that and sue for peace, then they need to be treated the exact same way Germany and Japan were treated in WWII, until such time as either they're all dead, or they accept their loss.
Neither their skin color nor their religion should get them special treatment
RCOcean - we know. The Jews created AIDS. The Jews created Covid. The Jews control the media. The Jews control the governments. The Jews control the Fed.
We know you hate Jews. At some point just let it rest.
When you get to the point that you accept everything Hamas says as the truth you have to admit you just hate Jews.

Please let RCOcean know. It's not that they want the Jews dead. They want EVERYONE who's not a Muslim dead. The Jews are just the first target. They are the little Satan and we are the great Satan. And if they killed all the non-Muslims ... the Sunni would start killing all the Shia and the Shia would start killing the Sunni.
They're after Western Civilization, not Jews. Someone should tell RCOcean that. He doesn't seem to know.

There are more Fakestinians in Israel now than in 1948. Worst genocidists ever. Do you know the numbers of REAL genocide? How many millions of Jews lived in Poland before the Holocaust? Germany? Ukraine? If Israel wanted to kill them all, they'd all be dead. Instead they use precision munitions and warn the occupants to get out before striking. Worst Hitlers ever.

To be fair they have been offered peace many, many times. In fact Ariel Sharon unilaterally withdrew from Gaza and gave them schools, hospitals, industry. They destroyed much of that. They have been fully in charge of Gaza for what? 30Y? If you want to see what a Palestinian state would look like, look at Gaza. It's not feasible. If Mexico were launching 100's of rockets daily into our schools, hospitals, homes, Mexico would not exist. We'd clear out and annex the ten northern most miles. And if it didn't stop the next ten and so on. No society would tolerate the Muslim indiscriminate murder and terror of innocent civilians.

If you have a rabid dog that violently attacks everyone around it you really don't have a lot of options. You can move it somewhere else or you can put it down. You cannot live with it. There is a people that has become totally depraved. They worship rape and murder. Slaughtering babies. Disgusting. Is there any evidence that they want peace? No. Your choice is put them somewhere else or put them down. Or let them murder and rape innocent civilians. What is your solution? We've tried giving them land for decades. They don't want land. They want to kill Jews.
"Or let them murder and rape innocent civilians. What is your solution?"
Some people appear to be okay with rape and murder as long as the victims are people they don't like.
""The most popular solution here seems to be genocide or ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.""
And yet you don't get what Palestinians mean by "To The River To The Sea".
If someone tells you they want to kill you and every other member of your race, believe them and act accordingly.
You don't try to feed the rabid dog. You put it down.
"What is your solution?"
I imagine it's something along the lines of the Jews should all go live in Antarctica. And I bet he considers that generous.

No. That is not the preferred solution.
First you have to state the problem honestly. Everyone in the Region hates and kills the Palestinians. The Jews aren't even at the top of the leaderboard. Arabs have killed an order of magnitude more Palestinians than the Jews have.
The preferred solution is that Hamas surrenders and returns the hostages.
The second best solution is ending the Palestinian tribe. The Palestinian Men stop hiding behind women and children and fight their own fights. Then after they suffer enough casualties to surrender, usually 30% of military aged men, the women and children can be absorbed into surrounding tribes and live in peace.
Barring that we just accept that the Palestinians will never act like civilized people and we do what needs to be done to make sure that future generations of children are not raised by animals that everyone around them hates.
Then we let the surrounding regimes including Egypt, Syria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc. help rebuild the Ghaza strip.
Murdering people, stealing their stuff, lying: it shouldn't be a surprise that this loser was active in the communist community in Chicago.
