Would you be shocked – or even mildly surprised – to learn that elias rodriguez, who murdered two young people walking out of the Jewish Museum in Washington D.C., has a years-long association with a hard left group that preaches Israel-hatred and Jew-hatred?
I doubt it.
But, just in case, I urge you to read Daniel Greenfield’s article at frontpagemag.com, which details that association and how it contributed to rodriguez’s murderous actions.
Here is how it begins:
Elias Rodriguez opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing two, a soon to be engaged Israeli couple, and wounded two others, but few media outlets reported his political orientation and his background. Or the outpouring of support from the anti-Israel Left.
In 2023, stickers reading “Exterminate Zionists” and the name of the Party for Socialism and Liberation appeared at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Rodriguez had been a member of the affiliated University of Illinois at Chicago and had been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. According to Rodriguez’s manifesto, he became radicalized 11 years ago and was convinced that killing Israelis, Americans and Jews was the right thing to do. That was the same year that he was being quoted as taking part in protest rallies and speaking on behalf of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
PSL claims that Elias Rodriguez only had a “brief association” with the Communist group, but even according to their timeline, the terrorist was with the organization for at least 3 years.
And likely more.
Rather than disavowing him, members of the pro-terrorist movement cheered his crimes.
Palestine Action US, which currently uses the Jihadist name ‘Unity of Fields’, distributed an illustrated version of the D.C. killer’s manifesto under his headline of “Escalate for Gaza”. It described the murder of a Jewish couple attending an event at a Jewish museum as “the rightful execution of the two nazi pigs” and hailed “the resistance that Elias will inspire.“
Rep. Rashida Tlaib had previously held an anti-Israel event featuring Palestine Action US, the Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Jewish Voice for Peace and the Islamist group EMGAGE.
There is more. A lot more. I again urge you to use the link (here it is again) and read it all.
Then you can wonder, along with me, how many elias rodriguez clones there are out there, taught and nurtured by the Israel-hating, Jew-hating far left…
…and how many of them, cheered on by the Israel-hating, Jew-hating far left, will be happy to copy-cat rodriguez in the future.
