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.

I'm very conflicted on this. On the one hand, it is a good thing when genocide collaborators die, that's two less to worry about, but on the other, this could serve as a catalyst for further Zionist crackdowns on free speech.

Adventurism sets back this movement of ours. This is what a revolutionary spirit without theory to back it up does. ADL is already using this as casus belli to silence pro-Palestine voices. CIA and Mossad are popping champagne bottles as we speak. And all they lost were two ultimately expendable Zionist bureaucrats. This is a fucking disaster.

It would be if mass repression was not already in place from peaceful nonviolent protests.

Cause and effect are being swapped around.

From where has it been set back?

At the most immediate level, law enforcement presence will be increased in the DC area. Indirectly, this will further propagate the rhetoric of the Israeli state that antizionism is antisemitism. They're already trying to spin this guy as a raging antisemite.
