Did you know that Yaron was a Christian and Sarah was a Jew?
Will you remember their names?
It’s a worldview that says that Jews and those who support the Jewish state—wherever they live—are now acceptable targets. It’s a worldview that insists that a beautiful young woman and man in love in our nation’s capital might look like innocents to the uninitiated, when in fact they are monsters deserving of death.
That Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim happened to be at an event about delivering humanitarian relief across the region, including to Palestinians in Gaza, was of no concern to (Elias Rodriquez) the alleged murderer. He was there to “free Palestine”—the slogan he shouted after he executed them. According to several witnesses, after the shooting, he reached into a bag, pulled out a keffiyeh and said: “I did this for Gaza.”
That may sound nonsensical to ordinary people. How would killing two Israeli embassy staffers improve the situation in Gaza?
