Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, the victims of last Wednesday’s shooting attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., were laid to rest this week in Israel and Kansas.
As the Jewish world mourned their deaths, many antisemites celebrated, justified, or denied the heinous actions of Elias Rodriguez, the far-left gunman arrested for the atrocity.
Examples of this trend include:
- Khayan, a Tehran regime mouthpiece, praised Rodriguez for killing "two wild Zionist beasts."
- Former Jordanian Interior Minister Mazen Turki El-Qadi claimed Israel might have orchestrated the murder to “lessen the Western-American pressure on the state of the entity (i.e., Israel), under so-called Antisemitism."
- Stickers reading "No tears for dead Zionists" were plastered in New York subway stations.
- A Maryland middle school teacher scoffed on social media that "2 racist white folks were killed."
