Two young Israeli embassy workers were brutally murdered in Washington D.C. this week. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim—set to be engaged—were shot 21 times by a radicalized attacker who screamed “Free Palestine” after the slaughter. This wasn’t random violence. It was targeted hate fueled by the same antisemitic poison spreading across America.
The killer, Elias Rodriguez, is a convicted felon from Chicago—a city drowning in soft-on-crime policies. While law-abiding Americans face restrictions, criminals like Rodriguez get endless second chances. This blood is on the hands of every politician who prioritizes woke ideology over public safety. The left’s obsession with coddling criminals has turned our streets into war zones.
Israeli officials called this a terrorist act linked to antisemitic rhetoric since Hamas’ October 7th attacks. For months, radicals have flooded campuses and cities with pro-Hamas chants. Now that rhetoric has bullets. When you demonize Israel and excuse terrorism, this is what happens. The radical left’s words have consequences.
The victims weren’t diplomats. They were researchers and organizers building bridges between nations. Sarah and Yaron represented the best of America’s allies—hardworking, hopeful, and full of promise. Their deaths expose the utter failure of leadership to protect our friends and punish our enemies.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues pushing for lax border policies that let dangerous individuals slip through. How many more Elias Rodriguezes are crossing into our country right now? Weak borders and weaker leadership put every American at risk. Patriots demand action, not apologies.
Progressives will call this “gun violence” and blame the Second Amendment. They’re wrong. This was ideological violence—a direct result of hateful propaganda infecting our schools and media. The real problem isn’t law-abiding gun owners. It’s the toxic culture that radicalizes killers.
Conservatives must lead the charge to restore order. Defund the FBI’s partisan witch hunts and refocus on real threats. Deport radicals. Lock up violent criminals. Stand unapologetically with Israel. Freedom isn’t free—it requires courage to confront evil head-on.
This tragedy should unite Americans against hate. Instead, the left will exploit it to attack free speech and disarm citizens. We won’t let them. Honor Yaron and Sarah by rejecting weakness, defending tradition, and remembering: Strength deters evil. Apologies invite it.
