What did the leftists and jihadis who ratcheted up the anti-Israel hysteria to unprecedented levels think would be the outcome? This. This is exactly what they wanted to happen, and there will be more of it.
“Report: Shooter of Embassy Workers in Washington Wore Keffiyeh, Shouted ‘Free Palestine,'” Ynet News, May 21, 2025:
The news site ‘Jewish Insider’ reported that the shooter who attacked two embassy employees outside the Jewish museum in Washington was wearing a keffiyeh and shouted ‘Free Palestine’ before striking them.
“Israeli embassy staff among two killed in shooting outside Jewish Museum in Washington,” by Sarah Moskowitz, Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2025:
A man and a woman were shot and killed in front of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington on Wednesday night, NBC News reported. At least one of those killed was a staff member at the Israeli embassy.
Two Israeli embassy staff were shot at close range, Axios reporter Barak Ravid said on X, citing an Israeli embassy spokesperson.
The shooting occurred in front of the museum where an event was being held by the American Jewish Committee.
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently investigating the incident, ABC News reported.
At least one of the people shot is believed to be a member of the Israeli embassy staff, according to reports from US media.
Law enforcement sources said that police are questioning a person of interest.
ABC added that US Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting took place.
“Praying for the victims of this violence as we work to learn more,” Bondi shared on X/Twitter.
‘Act of antisemitic terror’
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon reacted to the incident on X, calling it an “act of antisemitic terror.”“Harming diplomats and the Jewish community is crossing a red line….

This from NBC just about a half hour ago
“Two staff members of Israel’s Embassy in Washington, D.C., were shot dead outside the district’s Capital Jewish Museum, officials said, in what Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations called a “depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.”
Four senior law enforcement officials briefed on the shooting told NBC News a man opened fire, hitting a man and woman. The man shouted, “Free Palestine” while he was being arrested, three senior law enforcement officials said.”
At least they are calling it terrorism.

Are they smirking, twerking, breaking out the keffiyehs and raising foreign flags in satisfaction at Harvard and Columbia universities?
It seems the angry demonstrations on campuses appeared to the unbalanced as preapproval for violence. Maybe the angry students didn’t want any personal violence, they just wanted someone else to do it? The “finest” minds shouted for blood and the Harvard Crimson now has real Crimson Blood to report and try scrubbing off itself.
Is this just the beginning? What was common to all the horrible movements that left a trail of blood in its failing wake, Marx-Lennin, Mao, Khomeini, etc – STUDENTS with more ignorant passion for propagana than brains for deep research.

I’m wondering how many Democrats, Republicans or others in our gov’t are illegal aliens or anchor-babies occupying state and federal offices? ? And how many children of illegal aliens are occupying local and county public office? Now I’m wondering how many of these DACA and other ‘anchor’ babies’ have infiltrated our schools of higher learning?

I guess the crazies that did this awful deed will be called mentally unstable rather than thrown in a dark hole forever.
Namer says
They arent crazy, Just plain evil.
OLD GUY says
There are no dark holes forever anymore or executions without 30 years of appeals while living with a gym and a law library.
Bugs says
They were a Jewish couple, engaged to be married. The perp was shouting ‘free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine’ during his arrest. And he’s not Arabic. His last name is Rodriguez.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that information. Of course “Rodriguez” might be a convert to Islam, who never changd his name in the Infidel courts.
Bret says
If his last name is Rodriguez, then the continued rhetoric from the left that is allowed and supported and encouraged even worshipped by these idiots, is the reason for this attack. We live in a society that 5 minutes of fame is more important than a life.
gravenimage says
He could also be a convert to Islam. Many converts never change their names, so thy seem like Infidels when arrstd. But he might also be a useful idiot.
Ralph says
Mooslimes should never have been allowed into the United States. Period. Any Constitutionally-allowable means to deport them (and disband CAIR) should be employed.

Given that Trump supports Al Qaeda in Syria and thereby threatens not only the Syrian Druze but also Israel, I really don’t know what the problem is now?

A journalist in the U.K. says, ‘Palestinian activists can finally see their ‘intifada’ in action”
And, he’s right.

I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
This un-necessary killing in the name of palestine was bound to happen because the law enforcing agencies are not doing what they are supposed to do and that is to ban all “palestine/hamas” related demonstrations and protests. Blocking streets, attacking innocent people, vandalizing establishments etc., was just the beginning. They’ve now move to the next phase and that is “killing”. If this is not taken seriously expect to see more happen.
Living in Canada, I am worried that this will happen next in Canada…. it’s only a matter of time now.
John T R Gorman says
Someone needs to explain how murdering a young, unknown Jewish couple in cold blood🩸advances both the “Palestinian cause” and the idea that Islam is “peaceful”.
1.) So-called “Palestinians” came from Jordan and Egypt. If they want a “homeland”? Go there.
2.) Throughout Islam’s existence, Muhammad and his successors have proven to be violent sexual predators and perverts in direct imitation of their so-called “prophet”🙄Muhammad. Islam has NEVER been “peaceful”!

I just hard about this horror–the poor victims and their families. Probably a Jihadist, but also possibly a leftist thug.
