The victims of a fatal shooting outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., have been identified as a young couple who worked at the Israeli Embassy and were on the verge of getting engaged.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, and referred to them both as embassy staff members. The Israeli Embassy said the pair were “in the prime of their lives.”

“No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss,” the embassy said in a statement on social media. “Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.”

Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., told reporters the pair was a “beautiful couple,” and said Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring “with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem.” World leaders quickly condemned the slayings.

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is briefing the media now She starts by saying Donald Trump is “saddened and outraged” by the fatal shooting of the two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC last night.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair), the US’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, has condemned political violence as “completely unacceptable” after a deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington DC, and said that the crime does not reflect or represent the millions of Americans peacefully advocating for an end to US support for the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

In a statement, Cair said:

We condemn last night’s deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington DC.

While millions of Americans feel extreme frustration at the sight of the Israeli government slaughtering Palestinian men, women and children on a daily basis with weapons paid for with our taxpayer dollars, political violence is an unacceptable crime and is not the answer.

Such violence only undermines the pursuit of justice. Peaceful protest, civil disobedience and political engagement are the only appropriate and acceptable tools to advocate for policy change in our nation, including an end to US support for the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

A suspect in the Wednesday fatal shootings of two members of the Israeli Embassy near the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C., has been identified as a Chicago man.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, of Chicago was being held for questioning, authorities said Thursday. He was being interviewed early Thursday by D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department as well as the FBI, according to officials.

Authorities alleged he walked into the museum after the shooting, was detained by event security and began chanting, “Free, free Palestine,” officials said.

At an address for him on the North Side, police could be seen blocking the street. By 8:15 a.m., a stream of heavily armed men, the letters FBI inscribed on their backs, were seen leaving the apartment building. More agents remained.

Neighbors on the block were startled to open their doors to the sight of federal agents clogging the street. “That’s terrifying,” one woman said when told why they were outside her home.
On Thursday morning, Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement he was “horrified” to hear of the shooting and disclosed that a member of his staff was attending the event.

World leaders reacted Thursday morning to the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., as the Israeli government blamed the attack on “antisemitic incitement” by other countries, “especially from Europe.”

Washington’s chief of police said the suspect in the attack, identified as a Chicago man, shouted “free, free Palestine,” as he was taken into custody.

The victims were identified as a young couple, Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.

“These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW! Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA,” President Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social platform. “Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!”

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said she was “shocked by the shooting of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC.”

JERUSALEM: Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused unnamed European officials on Thursday (May 22) of “toxic antisemitic incitement” he blamed for a hostile climate in which the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington took place.

Israel has faced a blizzard of criticism from Europe of late as it has intensified its military campaign in Gaza, where humanitarian groups have warned that an 11-week Israeli blockade on aid supplies has left the Palestinian enclave on the brink of famine.

Saar did not name any countries or officials but said the climate of hostility towards Israel was behind the shooting of the embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday.

Saar, at a news conference in Jerusalem, said the attack was a direct outcome of “toxic antisemitic incitement against Israel and Jews around the world” since Hamas militants’ cross-border attack on Israel in October 2023.

“There is a direct line connecting antisemitic and anti-Israel incitement to this murder,” he said. “This incitement is also done by leaders and officials of many countries and organisations, especially from Europe.”

Trump confronts South Africa’s Ramaphosa with baseless claims of systematic killing of white farmers– www.euronews.com

Excerpt:

US President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to forcefully confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing the country of failing to address Trump’s baseless claim of the systematic killing of white farmers.

In an astonishing display, Trump even dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a far-left politician singing a song with the lyrics “kill the farmer.”

He also reviewed news articles to emphasise his argument, stating that the nation’s white farmers have encountered “death, death, death, horrible death.”

Trump had previously terminated all US aid to South Africa and extended a welcome to numerous white South African farmers, granting them refugee status in the United States, while advocating the notion that a “genocide” is unfolding in the nation.

The 47th US president has initiated a series of allegations against the Black-led government of South Africa, asserting that it is confiscating land from white farmers, implementing policies that are discriminatory towards whites, and adopting a foreign policy that is antagonistic towards Washington.

The Federal Police had actually issued several Identitarians with a travel ban, but they still flew to the “Remigration Summit 2025” in Italy. Upon their return, officers were waiting to place them in handcuffs. Are those affected facing prison sentences?

German police armed with machine guns stopped German Identitarian Movement (IB) activists after they landed back in Germany at Munich Airport, and they now face a year in prison simply for leaving the country to attend a conference.

The activists also shot video of the heavily armed police officers stopping them.

The conference in question, the “Remigration Summit 2025,” was hosted in Milan, Italy, and attended by a wide range of Europeans, including Austria’s Martin Sellner, Eva Vlaardingerbroek and French MEP Jean-Yves Le Gallou. They delivered speeches and shared ideas on why they believe Europe needs remigration.

In a video, three of the activists stated that they were met by “15 heavily armed federal police officers who had printouts of our faces in front of them so they could immediately identify us as serious criminals.”

Which is worse: murdering people or a discussion attempting to end murders?

The shameless propaganda press heaped criticism on President Donald Trump on Wednesday for daring to talk with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa about alleged genocide in his country, reported by white South African farmers seeking refuge in the United States.

With coordinated messaging, the mighty propaganda brotherhood portrayed honest communication as a bad thing, calling the conversation an “ambush” over “debunked conspiracy theories.”

Minutes after the meeting, The New York Times characterized it as “contentious.” It wasn’t. Both Trump and Ramaphosa were polite and courteous throughout the discussion. The Times filed the story so quickly that it had no time to investigate. But it was still able to assert that Trump made “false genocide claims.”

If you want to understand where the left’s obsession with racial “equity” and “reparations” leads to, look no further than South Africa — where white farmers are allegedly being murdered and face discrimination for the crime of being white. But good luck finding honest coverage of what’s transpiring there in the corporate media, which are hellbent on covering up or dismissing the reality so that Americans don’t begin to question the real goal of the left’s racial resentment agenda.

A new law in South Africa means white farmers could have their land taken away without being paid for it. As I previously reported, “Though framed as a correction to apartheid-era injustice, the law has created an environment where racially motivated persecution may become institutionalized.”

Meanwhile, murders are commonplace, with white farmers having allegedly been targeted.

The murders are not random — they are part of a growing pattern of violence toward Afrikaners that South African officials don’t want to acknowledge and that Western media outlets actively work to obscure.

Twenty-four hours after the Sunday announcement that former President Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer, one of his staunchest supporters, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, said Monday he had yet to connect with him. Another close Hill ally, Sen. Chris Coons, had not spoken with his fellow Delawarean as of midafternoon Tuesday.

Biden’s longtime friend Bob Brady, the former House member from Pennsylvania who has known Biden for decades, said as of Tuesday afternoon that he hadn’t talked with the former president directly since his cancer diagnosis, though he did touch base Monday with his family. All three said they planned to speak with him soon.

Before his cancer diagnosis, Biden had been taking the train from Delaware to Washington, meeting with his post-presidential staff, allies and former Cabinet secretaries, according to a Biden aide granted anonymity to speak freely. In New York City for his appearance on “The View,” he met with former President Bill Clinton. And last week he met with Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a rising star in the party.

Excerpt:

When former President Joe Biden made a shocking health reveal on Sunday, the world mostly responded with sympathy.

Even Biden’s harshest critics had nothing but kind words and prayers for Biden and his family.

But once some of the dust settled on the initial shock of the harrowing announcement — Biden has an aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, typically a terminal diagnosis — other questions began cropping up.

Namely, how much did Biden’s inner circle know about this cancer, did they try to cover it up, and was the timing of this reveal deliberate?

Of note, Biden’s announcement came just days before the release of “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” a book co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson. The book, as its name suggests, is a damning critical look at the former president’s spiraling health issues and the ways in which his inner circle tried to hide it all.

It is time to stop pretending that the “pro-Palestinian” movement is anything but a pro-terrorist movement with people who are either malicious antisemites or the most gullible, ignorant bleeding hearts who consume every bit of terrorist propaganda put in front of them.

Two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday by a left-wing terrorist. The terrorist yelled, “Free, free Palestine!” after being detained and donned a keffiyeh. Too many on social media decided to call this “senseless violence” when, in reality, it makes all the sense in the world. Murdering Israeli civilians is what Hamas, which governs Gaza, does. Murdering Israeli civilians is what started this latest war, when Palestinians invaded Israel and massacred 1,200 Israeli men, women, and children. A pro-Palestinian terrorist gunning down two civilians in Washington, D.C., is a logical continuation of pro-Palestinian violence.

On Sunday it was revealed to the public that President Joe Biden had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Dr. Zeke Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC that it’s more likely Biden “had it while he was president.” That means that on top of the obvious cognitive impairment, Biden may have also been suffering from an aggressive cancer, further calling into question who was actually making key decisions during his administration.

Here are five of the most consequential decisions of the Biden presidency that, in light of this diagnosis, have many Americans asking whether Biden was truly the one behind them.

George Washington University student banned after pro-Palestinian graduation speech

A graduation speech at George Washington University has resulted in the graduate being banned from the campus after she used the platform to criticize the university’s ties to Israel and express support for Palestinians.

During Saturday’s commencement for the Columbian College of Arts & Sciences, part of GWU in Washington, DC, graduating senior Cecilia Culver delivered remarks to the graduating class of nearly 750.

Culver condemned the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza, criticized GWU’s connections to Israel, and urged the audience to withhold donations from the college and push for financial transparency, as well as for the college to divest from Israeli-linked companies.

“I am ashamed to know my tuition [fee] is being used to fund this genocide,” Culver said from the stage. “I call upon the class of 2025 to withhold donations and continue advocating for disclosure and divestment.”

Joe Biden’s inner circle can’t stress this enough: Before last Friday, the former president had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Pinky swear.

A Biden spokesman “clarified” the “timeline” in a statement to multiple news outlets after widespread speculation that Biden’s Sunday cancer announcement wasn’t so much a new diagnosis as a new disclosure.

Even Democrat doctors came out of the woodwork this week to note that prostate cancer and metastasis to the bone don’t just happen overnight, meaning this cancer isn’t “new.” Either Biden and his team of elite health care practitioners are incompetent, or they covered up his diagnosis. So now his PR people are doing a full-court press to convince the suspicious public that Biden’s handlers aren’t lying liars who lie — they’re just really bad at their jobs.

This isn’t the only Democrat pinky swear of the week. Americans also got assurances from former FBI Director James Comey, who recently posted a threatening message to Donald Trump on Instagram in the form of a photograph of seashells spelling out “86 47.” We all know what that means. And considering a would-be assassin already shot Trump in the head and another tried to snipe him on the golf course, Comey’s message could credibly incite violence.

A private jet crashed into a neighborhood of U.S. Navy-owned housing in San Diego during foggy weather early Thursday, igniting cars and homes and killing two people while injuring multiple others, authorities said.

The plane could hold eight to 10 people but it’s not yet known how many were on board, Assistant San Diego Fire Chief Dan Eddy said at a news conference. Authorities couldn’t say definitively if both of the dead were on the plane.

The aircraft crashed just before 4 a.m. into the U.S. military’s largest housing neighborhood. Eddy said at least one home was destroyed and 10 others suffered damage along with half a dozen vehicles that ignited. The destroyed home had a partially collapsed roof.
