Create Account That's the tale told by his internet appearances. Cops say the 31-year-old Chicago researcher reached his final destination outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday night. There, witnesses said he nervously meandered about outside the museum on 575 3rd St NW. He was pacing back and forth with the intensity of a child with a bad report card. Elias Rodriguez from Chicago is the murderer and of course when he was arrested he shouted 'Free Palestine' This is how the terrorist was filmed - moments after he murdered the Israeli embassy employees. Palestinianism is a death cult. Remember, the entire purpose of 'free… — Cheryl E 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🎗️ (@CherylWroteIt) May 22, 2025 Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

And then, just after 9 p.m., two Israeli Embassy staffers emerged, along with two other people. And Rodriguez was allegedly ramped up for martyrdom. He is accused of opening fire, striking Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, cut down in the street as they left the American Jewish Committee's ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception. Both were fatally wounded. VICTIMS: Yaron Lischinsky, right, and Sarah Milgrim were murdered outside the Jewish Museum in Washington. ISRAELI EMBASSY The couple met at work and were planning to get engaged next week, the Israeli Embassy said. For his part, and quite predictably, Rodriguez was captured on video screaming 'Free Free Palestine!' several times as though it was a mantra, and in case anyone was wondering, 'I did it for Gaza.' He was waving a red keffiyeh. Naturally. 'Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives,' the Embassy of Israel to the USA wrote on X.

This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC. The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder.

'This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC. The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss. Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.' And what of Rodriguez, a grey throbbing muscle of resentment and religious fervour? The pro-Palestinian enthusiast appears to have been plucked from central casting. Wild hair, pop bottle glasses, out of shape, and screaming. He is an active member of a far-left Marxist, pro-Palestine group called the Party for Socialism and Liberation and has a BA in English from the University of Illinois, Chicago.

SCREENGRAB Media reports said he worked as an Oral History Researcher at the History Makers, and most recently, toiled as a Profiles Administration Specialist at the American Osteopathic Information Association. In 2020, he donated to the presidential campaign of Joe Biden. But somewhere along the line (second-year critical race theory?) Rodriguez caught the revolutionary fervour and sweated out pieties. He doesn't like cops or Amazon. He told the PSL mag Liberation that really, it's all whitey's fault and makes the giant leap of connecting a police shooting in Chicago to the retail giant. 'The wealth that Amazon has brought to Seattle has not been shared with its Black residents,' Rodriguez told the house rag. '(Amazon's) whitening of Seattle is structurally racist and a direct danger to all workers who live in that city. So do we in Chicago and all across the country want a nation of cities dominated and occupied by massive corporations where only the rich and white can live and the vast majority of us must live on the edges of the city and society, living in deeper and deeper poverty?' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Read More Rodriguez's email is connected to an eBay account that has feedback from one seller who hawks Muslim prayer rugs. The rugs feature celebratory imagery of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 people. Every weekend and now, frequently on weekdays, the Elias Rodriguez of the world emerge from their hovels. They screech, 'Globalize the intifada.' In Washington on Wednesday night, we learned that it isn't just a slogan. Up next? Maybe Canada. bhunter@ @HunterTOSun Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls World World Sports

Barbara Kay: The credulously pro-terror members of Mark Carney's caucus
Article content Palestinianism's umbrella narrative is that Zionism is an inherently racist ideology. Drawing on that premise, pro-Zionist expression may be legislated as hate speech, but the glorification of Hamas 'martyrs' and calls for the eradication of Israel should not be. (When Bill C-63, the online harms act, is revived, they may get their wish.) Article content Vote Palestine's strategy, according to one of its Instagram posts, is to 'force Palestine onto the debate stage through nationwide visibility' and shame political actors who do not endorse its platform. Article content Leading PYM activist Yara Shoufani, who has a long rap sheet of anti-Israel extremism, explained on a podcast how 'pressure is applied' by PYM foot soldiers within ridings to non-endorsing candidates. They 'make it impossible to organize fundraising events … impossible for those MPs to canvass without being met by someone from within the community asking, 'Why are you not supporting an arms embargo?' ' she said. Article content Shoufani seems proud that PYM has managed to, in her words, 'create a kind of crisis within the Canadian electoral system.' And all of this, fellow Canadians, is what 362 candidates — not a single one of them Conservative — signed onto. Article content Article content At 1.8 million and growing, Muslims constitute around five per cent of Canada's population. The Canadian Muslim Vote, a nonprofit, estimates that Muslims hold significant influence in between 60-80 of 343 ridings. Article content According to Joe Adam George, lead researcher for Islamist threats in Canada at the Middle East Forum, 'Islamists have been working overtime' to see 'their favoured party,' the Liberals, re-elected, 'so that the good times keep rolling for them for at least another four years.' Article content Credulous candidates' greed for Muslim votes is understandable. Which is why it is so important in these matters that savvy political leaders provide a backstop to their candidates' lack of judgment in collaborating with what essentially amounts to foreign interference in the election.
