A crazed gunman shouted 'Free Palestine' after he shot and killed two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.
The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, was pacing back and forth before allegedly opening fire on a group of four people who were standing outside the museum. Rodriguez then entered the building, where he was taken into custody.
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon described it as a 'depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.'
He said: 'The shooting outside the event at the Jewish Museum in Washington – in which Israeli embassy employees were also injured – is a criminal act of anti-Semitic terrorism.'
'Attacking diplomats and the Jewish community is crossing a red line.'
The American Jewish Committee was hosting a Young Diplomats event at the museum on Wednesday night when the terror unfolded, CEO Ted Deutch confirmed.
Emotional photos show an onlooker draped in a Jewish flag as police cordoned off the area surrounding the shooting.
President Trump issued a statement late Wednesday night condemning 'hatred and radicalism' which led to the vicious attack.

Pakistanis with the surname “Rodriguez”? I just don’t see it happening.
This brave, courageous warrior sneaked up to unarmed people attending an event at a museum and killed them. Doesn’t take a lot of anything but evil to do that.
I’ve been saying it for a while. Those who support terrorists are terrorists.
I hope that DHS and the FBI are keeping close tabs on all those pro-Hamas “protesters.”
Omar will say “a Hispanic person did something “
Oh yes! This is what happened during the 1970s. Lots of left-wing demonstrations and “actions” - and then multi-national (Arabs, Germans, Japanese, Irish, Cubans etc) terror gangs acting all over the Western world.
Then those gangs were supported by the Soviets but also by criminal activities (bank robberies, drug smuggling etc) and oil-money from for instance Libya. Today? Make you own list. But the left-wing demonstrators and politicans are not innocent.
Muslim convert?
The murdered couple were Christian Israelis.
Yeah part of the Modus operandi of the genocidal democrats is to change their name. That kid will shortly be known as mohammed al-omars-princess when he’s in jail.
Nor does the “crazed” gunman , natural course of things after the left stoked the flames SS of hatred.
Bingo😎
Just an average Maryland man drove to this by Trump😎😎
“ What is a “Jewish flag””
It was circumcised.
(J/k)
“Rodriguez? It just don’t add up.”
Yeah, what’s his Muslim convert name?
Sickening.
A question: Especially after Oct 7, WTH doesn't that museum have better security and/or LE protection? Or was there and for some reason security didn't speak to/run off the perp?
You can blame the murders of these two young people on the bastards with diplomas and pizza place tablecloth hats that infest our college and universities across America. Muzzie terrorist lovers. Every one of the sorry bass turds need to be deported. Take their muzzie terrorism back to the middle east where it belongs. Screw Palestine and its murderers. Throw them out. They are too uncivilized to be infesting a civilized society. They can take their “diplomas” and get out!

...Rob Prosor, Israel’s ambassador to Germany, shared personal shock at the attack: “Yaron and Sarah— working together at the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C.— were murdered in a terrorist attack outside the Jewish Museum. A young couple with a bright future planning their life together.”
“Yaron, born in Nuremberg, wasn’t just a colleague. I had the privilege of having him as my master’s student at Reichman University. Bright, curious, engaged.”
“He was a Christian, a true lover of Israel, served in the IDF, and chose to dedicate his life to the State of Israel and the Zionist cause. He embodied the Judeo-Christian values and set an example for young people worldwide.”...

And also:
[Amir Tsarfati: Yaron was the son of an Argentine Jewish father and a German mother that moved to Israel many years ago. As followers of the Messiah, Yaron and his family used to attend the King of Kings assembly in Jerusalem. He moved to the US around 4 years ago.]
Wow, “May the memory of Yaron and Sarah be a blessing.”
Thank you. That clears up the flag. So. not a “Jewish flag,” as reported. Lazy journalism. I should probably count it a win that they aren’t being called Zionists in this piece.
