Last week, two staffers of the Israeli embassy in Washington were shot dead at the Capital Jewish Museum.
Police have taken custody of a suspect. His name is Elias Rodriguez and he is from Chicago.
Journalist Ken Klippenstein has published a 900-word manifesto which he believes the suspect wrote shortly before the deadly shooting. The manifesto condemns Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Western complicity in the mass murder of Palestinians.
Immediately after the killing, numerous commentators claimed that the crime was antisemitic and that the victims were ‘innocent’.
In the latest Reason2Resist livestream, Rami Yahia and I take a closer look at the victims and the motives of the alleged killer.
International law requires that all people of the world have a duty to prevent any country from committing genocide, by any means necessary. This is the same law that Yemen uses to shut down ship traffic in the Red Sea bound for Israel, since those ships most likely support the genocide.
CNN reports that the two Israeli Embassy staff members were on their way back to Israel next week. In the mind of the shooter, he got there just in time to prevent them from committing more genocide.
The lesson to be learned here is the World has zero tolerance for genocide. It is the crime of all crimes. If you are a citizen of a country that chooses to commit genocide, the presumption is that you are part of that collective guilt, and you must share the same peril as your fellow countrymen that actually commit the crime. How else then could genocide ever be stopped if it was not that way? No amount of propaganda or claims of ‘antisemitism’ will justify the crime of genocide.
I saw this when it first came out, but have been too caught up tracking other news, in particular the extortion of Harvard (again, Israel's behind it) to jot down a few words.
This was quite "a closer look." Red flags immediately went up when Pam Bondi on Thursday morning came out saying before reporters the two deceased had been at a "religious event at the Jewish Museum." Huh? Jewish religious event? on a Wednesday? at a museum? Obviously the script had been fed to her.
Then in an article in, of all places, The Detroit Jewish News, it was reported, “His [Yaron Lischinsky’s] final post on social media was a repost of a message condemning the United Nations’ false claim that 14,000 infants in Gaza were facing imminent starvation, labeling it a modern-day blood libel.” The dictionary says a diplomat is "one skilled in handling affairs without arousing hostility," and this aspiring "diplomat" was trading in junk like this?
Thanks for peeling back the layers on what Israeli embassies worldwide, but particularly the one in DC, are up to, essentially this: spying. Good job, Dimitri and Rami.
