Two staff members at the Israeli embassy in Washington are shot dead near a Jewish museum.

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.

    Good. Hopeful more happens to zionist scum in the future.

    They need to be afraid to walk the streets.

        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.

        Yeah, what we need to do is ask them nicely. Like 500 times. Hold more peaceful marches. Keep marching and marching and getting beaten up by the police and never ever get any sanctions on Israel. That is surely going to achieve things.
