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.

Adventurism sets back this movement of ours. This is what a revolutionary spirit without theory to back it up does. ADL is already using this as casus belli to silence pro-Palestine voices. CIA and Mossad are popping champagne bottles as we speak. And all they lost were two ultimately expendable Zionist bureaucrats. This is a fucking disaster.
From where has it been set back?
At the most immediate level, law enforcement presence will be increased in the DC area. Indirectly, this will further propagate the rhetoric of the Israeli state that antizionism is antisemitism. They’re already trying to spin this guy as a raging antisemite.

Let me give you a hypothetical. Imagine that these murders happened just as they did. But now imagine that Palestine was not brought up. The guy just stayed silent. The 2 Zionists are dead all the same, but there is plausible deniability that this was not done in the name of Palestine. Like I’m saying, there is a more effective way to crash out, if you are going to crash out. Furthermore, you shouldn’t be crashing out on an individual level! When will we have it sink in that there is no individual solution to systemic issues? Organize!
Learn from your enemy. Many Israeli officials still claim to this day is denying the genocide. It’s not because they think you’ll believe it. It’s about plausible deniability.

The death of 2 shitbags comes at the inconvenience of many more revolutionary voices. I predict it will not be. Because this was not a revolutionary act. This was adventurism.

The man who got shot had an active Twitter account. Very stand-up guy. Such a shame he got killed.
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.”
? 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
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
The inverse Nuremberg defence: “I was only giving orders”
