Two staff members at the Israeli embassy in Washington are shot dead near a Jewish museum.

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.

      violence is not the same as adventurism. its better when its organized, i agree, but not causing any problems we don’t already have in this case and its bound to happen as people get frustrated.

        Spin the definition however you want. I have made my point. Change comes from class struggle. Not individual spontaneous action.
