Israeli Embassy Staffers Killed in Washington, DC Shooting

By: Staff Writer

Tragedy struck in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night, May 21, when a man opened fire at close range outside the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum, resulting in the deaths of two Israeli Embassy staffers. The victims were identified as 26-year-old Sarah Milgrim of Kansas and 28-year-old German-Israeli Yaron Lischinsky. They were attending an event at the museum for Jewish diplomatic professionals under the age of 45, organized by the American Jewish Committee.

Sarah Milgrim worked in the Israeli Embassy Department of Public Diplomacy, while Yaron Lischinsky was a research assistant. The Capital Jewish Museum, where the tragic incident took place, expressed deep sorrow over the murders and remained closed the following day.

The museum had recently raised concerns about safety and security related to its current exhibition, “LGBTQJews in the Federal City.” It had received a government grant to offset security costs, as it classified the shooting as an act of antisemitic violence.

The suspected shooter, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, shouted “Free Palestine” as he was arrested by Metropolitan Police after allegedly shooting the couple. The motive behind the attack is still under investigation.

Various world figures and government officials have condemned the shooting, with calls for justice and gun control reform. The incident has sparked debates online about the nature of the Palestinian solidarity movement and the portrayal of violence.

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
