The media's not interested in this story. That's a big clue about the killer.
A senseless act of violence rocked the Israeli diplomatic community in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, when two young embassy staffers--Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim--were fatally shot in the street outside the Capital Jewish Museum.
The victims had just attended the American Jewish Committee's ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception when the attack unfolded. According to witnesses, the suspected gunman shouted "Free, free Palestine" before opening fire--a chilling reminder of how far antisemitic violence has escalated under the cover of radical political slogans.
Both Lischinsky and Milgrim served in the Israeli Embassy in D.C.--he as a research assistant in the Political Department, and she in Public Diplomacy. Lischinsky, a former member of the Israel Defense Forces, had planned to propose to Milgrim during an upcoming trip to Jerusalem. He had purchased the ring earlier this week.
"This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC," the Embassy of Israel to the United States said in a somber statement. "The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss."
Israel's Ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, confirmed the couple's identities and expressed the profound sorrow felt across the Israeli diplomatic corps. He described the pair as young, promising representatives of Israel who had devoted their lives to diplomacy and truth--and who were robbed of a future together.
They had just gotten engaged, but a leftist indulged his mental illness, so now they're dead and that's that.
You won't be seeing this on Jake Tapper's show. He covers attacks on his fellow Jewish citizens, but only when those attacks are perpetrated by political enemy groups.
Police have identified Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old Chicago leftist activist, as the sole suspect in the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC. Authorities are investigating the attack as potentially ideologically motivated and antisemitic.
Key Details:
Rodriguez is reportedly affiliated with the Party for Socialism & Liberation and participated in BLM and anti-Israel protests.
He was arrested at the Capital Jewish Museum after shouting, "Free, free Palestine."
President Trump condemned the attack as rooted in antisemitism; Israel is boosting embassy security worldwide.

Rodriguez is not just a suspect in a criminal case--he's also allegedly an active member of the far-left Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL), a group known for organizing anti-Israel protests and promoting radical socialist ideology. He has previously marched with Black Lives Matter, the People's Congress of Resistance, and ANSWER Chicago, all of which have sharply criticized Israel and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
Adding fuel to the ideological fire, PSL had posted an "anti-genocide pledge" against Israel earlier the same day as the shooting, suggesting potential ideological coordination or at least timing that investigators may explore. Rodriguez is also allegedly connected to The History Makers, a nonprofit that records African American oral histories, where he worked as a researcher.
The left is at literal war against the rest of society, and we just sit around and say "How terrible." Meanwhile, the Democrat Party sends money to the killers' and jihadists' GoFundMe accounts.
