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.
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
Holy shit. This is insanely profound. Not dehumanizing his targets but acknowledging their humanity and therefore, their responsibility and the gravity of the thing he is about to do.
This wasn’t a raving mad man stabbing or shooting the nearest, most Jewish looking person, this seems to have been a targeted shooting.
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’?
Well he was but a simple innocent civilian enthousiastically participating in the genocide of all Palestinians. Killing such an innocent person is inexcusable.
“You don’t understand, the people working on the Death Star just had a job to do and to follow its orders. It’s not any one of their fault that it blew up planets. RIP the brave workers on the Death Star I and Death Star II.”
Good point, and a perfect centrist take (not that I’m accusing you of being centrist). They should have a centrist viewing and commentary of the whole star wars series. Like mystery science theatre 3000.
? 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.
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?
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
Good. Hopeful more happens to zionist scum in the future.
They need to be afraid to walk the streets.
Murder does not help our cause.
That’s irony because I think bully’s are very afraid of getting hurt.
Please don’t murder anyone! I know the state is enacting violence on you everyday, but PLEASE for the love of god don’t murder! Just take it please, sit still and take the violence. Let your mothers, fathers, neighbors, friends, sisters, and brothers be taken away by the state. Do nothing.
Because not murdering has really helped our cause. What a joke.
That depends who and how often, as history has shown time and time again.
I don’t advocate murder, but saying it’s never effective is arguing with reality.
In a just world they would be prosecuted by a proper legal body. When that is impossible then it become necessary to at least consider the need for vigilante justice.
Nah. It’s very easy to argue that murder is ethically wrong or unjustified but it certainly is effective.
What evidence is there that murder is effective in these circumstances?
What do you mean “our”? like “second minute hour”?

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.
“I am fighting an enemy squad who is known for beheading children, but I don’t know which one of them slits throats, so I chose to simply not shoot any of them”
The staffers didn’t deserve to die.
These people did though!
The people that made the decision to kill them deserve to die.
You mean the Israeli government?
Or the ones who literally pulled the trigger
There is no evidence that Adolf Hitler ever personally executed anyone. Yet I do hold him accountable for the triggers getting pulled.
The inverse Nuremberg defence: “I was only giving orders”
I meant both lol if someone ordered to kill them and someone pulled the trigger then they both deserve to be held responsible.
Y’all are rabid in this post though.
This just guarantees dropping nuclear bombs so long as it’s just the one guy who pressed the button who will go to court.
Yes they did, and they were legitimate targets according to the standards they themselves espoused (as were their children and anyone living near to them.)

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.
And to think, there are people around here who accuse me of not being a “real” leftist. Who but a leftist would post a page from from a webcomic that’s 90% text? Checkmate libs.
Any one who accuses some one else of not being a real leftist is probably a fed
