[RichardPollock] The Killer Didn't Care If They Were Christians - They Attended A Jewish Event
Last week, when alleged killer Elias Rodrigues
…the stereotypical Red Diaper Baby English major whose name is alternately spelt Elias Rodriguez… bumped off Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim outside the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., he thought he was killing Jews.
It was clearly a targeted liquidation of Jewish participants at an American Jewish Committee’s event for young professionals.
Tough guy Rodrigues fired 21 slugs into the unarmed a couple. A maimed Sarah reportedly tried to crawl away from him, but he continued to shoot her until she was lifeless.
As he was being led away from the museum, he proudly chanted, "Free, Free Paleostine."
But what Rodrigues didn’t know is that for most of last year, his targets were regular Sunday attendees at the Episcopal Church, Ascension and Saint Agnes Church in downtown Washington.
Before he came to the United States, Lischinsky also attended the Anglican Christ Church in Jerusalem.
And the "Jewish" event he targeted was an ecumenical meeting between young professionals who were interested in humanitarian solutions to the Middle East conflict.
Rodrigues didn’t realize it, but his hateful blindness serves as a warning: this unforgivable violence may begin with Jews, but their rage is directed toward all of Western Judeo-Christian civilization.
Many of the ugly, in-your-face anti-Israel protests we have witnessed since October 7 have been led by so-called pro-Paleostinian "anti-imperialists." They regard all of the West as their enemy. Since October 7, the pro-Paleostinian movement regularly dubbed President Biden "Genocide Joe."
There is an old saying that the Jewish people have always served as the canaries in the coal mines. They serve as a warning to others living in free societies that senseless hate is coming their way.
Washington Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde and the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, Dean of the Washington Cathedral understood that the murders of Yaron and Sarah were filled with "brutal irony" since the two were attending a multifaith gathering.
"We cannot ignore the brutal irony of where and when these murders occurred: Yaron and Sarah had just attended an event that brought together multifaith attendees to discuss humanitarian initiatives," the two religious leaders said in a statement they issued after the murders.
Of course, this "fact" didn’t matter to the killer.
The Episcopal leaders further wrote about the couple, "Their attraction to Christ seemed to have deepened their love for their Jewish sisters and brothers as well as their commitment to serve the people of Israel."
In their reporting about last week’s killing, much of the mass media, especially the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, emphasized in their headlines that Yaron and Sarah worked at the Israeli Embassy. The "unstated" message was that they died because of the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
. The two young people simply were collateral damage to that war. End of story.
But life is more complicated and profound.
On Sunday, I attended the majestic Ascension and Saint Agnes Church where the local Rector movingly eulogized the couple as more than 100 perishioners looked on. The main sanctuary displayed a picture of the two with candles below and a cross of Jesus.
Although I’m Jewish and wore a yarmulka to the church, I was warmly welcomed by many congregants and by the clergy.
Father Dominque Peridans, in his remembrances for the two at the end of the liturgy, he observed that "Yaron, is a Hebrew name which means ’full of joy.’" Rather than a Jew, "He was dedicated to the Christ, Jesus. He worshipped with the community of Messianic Jews."
Messianic Jews combine Christian theology with select elements of Judaism. Its adherents consider themselves to be a form of Judaism, but it’s generally considered to be a form of Christianity. Messianic Jews are deep believers in Israel.
Father Peridans told the congregants that Yaron was respectful of all other religious faiths, "He actively participated in interfaith dialogue and was dedicated to bridging cultural and religious divides."
The same could be said of Sarah. Prior to joining the Israeli Embassy, she went to Israel for five weeks to work at Tech2Peace, an organization that brought together young Israelis and Paleostinians for joint projects.
The Jewish News Syndicate reported, "She focused on the experiences of 12 Israeli and Paleostinian participants in a seminar organized by Tech2Peace at Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, a Jewish-Arab village halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, documenting their stories and the complexities of the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
She also worked at the United States Institute for Peace in Washington, D.C., a federal agency that studies peaceful resolution to conflicts around the world. Rodrigues never wanted to bother himself with such niceties.
Still, other American Leftwing krazed killer groups hailed the killer.
A group that describes itself as "anti-imperialist" called, "The Bronx Anti-War" posted that what Rodriguez "did is the highest expression of anti-Zionism" and "We need more Elias Rodriguez in this world" in a pair of social media posts Thursday.
And of course, the Iranians heralded the killing. Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor of the Iranian news outlet Kayhan predictably wrote, "Any news of our dear brother Elias Rodriguez, who sent two Zionist wild animals in Washington to hell with a bullet?"
Israel’s "Law of Return" never defined who is a Jew. But the State recognizes people in which one parent is Jewish. Both Yaron and Sarah had one parent who was Jewish.
Yaron’s parents live in Israel where he was buried just outside of Jerusalem. The Israeli Foreign Ministry accepted the body upon his return to the country.
Sarah was born into a family that is tied to reform Judaism. Her funeral will be held on Tuesday at Congregation Beth Torah in Overland Park, Kansas. The Israeli Ambassador to the United States is expected to attend.
