Many anti-Zionist activists, influencers, and social media users across platforms have responded to the double murder Wednesday night of two Israeli embassy staffers at a reception for diplomats and Jewish young professionals at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. with a mix of outright celebration, glee, and justification for the killings. Some even called for additional violence and praised the murder suspect as a hero of the anti-Zionist movement.
The suspect, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, Illinois, was taken into custody the night of May 21, 2025, shouting, "Free, free Palestine," after fatally shooting Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky (an Israeli citizen) and Sarah Milgrim (a U.S. citizen), as they were exiting an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC). Rodriguez told police who arrived at the scene, "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza."
