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.

    its a sensible take on these sort of matters but maybe not for israel. current israel is not only committing a genocide in plain view of the world but is also targeting any criticism against it with a very disgusting mo.

    • they have been killing journalists in gaza and westbank for decades so that idf brutality and murder of families by settlers has no evidence.

    • https://www.france24.com/en/culture/20250515-fatma-hassona-death-was-targeted-killing-gaza-film-director-sepideh-farsi-tells-cannes

    • they kill even pregnant women and children for fun not as some human shield or collateral

    • they specially target hospital, medics and doctors so the injured die painfully while their relatives watch helplessly. this is a level of planned evil that goes way beyond warcrime and genocide

    • they seem to be dictating narrative on every msm. even forums like reddit is completely crippled by their bots. just see the difference in voting pattern on world news from 2 years ago

    • they have complete control of our political system on both red and blue side. now we all know much the shameless scum biden did to restrain israel. current dnc chairman schumer has publicly said that his top priority is always to keep the left pro-israel.

    • peaceful protests not just in us but around the world have been targeted by them in violent ways. any criticism of genocide has resulted in immediate loss of employment for some of the most intelligent people working at google and microsoft.

    israel was founded by people who butchered entire villages and raped little girls for days. since then settler movement has attracted people across the world who are proud of murdering a family and taking their home. they supply spyware and weapon to most violent dictators in the world.

    i really don’t think there is a peaceful alternative to control something this evil and elaborate. this is not going to stop at gaza. the ultra rich who are mostly at the head of israeli lobby will use this very formula of violence and propaganda against the working class. to some extent its already started, we all saw how luigi is branded a terrorist for allegedly taking out a mass murderer and how anything positive related to him is suppressed everywhere. the ongoing ice raids.
