Embassy Killer: Internet Praises Gunman Who Gunned Down Diplomats
Washington – The internet is on fire after a shocking murder. Elias Rodriguez, 31, gunned down two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum.
Now, instead of universal outrage, something more chilling is spreading—praise.
Praise for a Killer Floods Social Media
Online extremists are calling Rodriguez a “freedom fighter.” Some on the far-left say he acted in “resistance” against Zionism.
The murder of two young diplomats—Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim—has become a rallying cry.
Luigi Mangione Comparisons Stir Fear
Rodriguez is already being compared to Luigi Mangione, another accused killer whose actions inspired global admiration on far-left circle.
Commenters ask, “Is this the next Mangione?”
The glorification of violence has experts and communities deeply alarmed. And it leaves the reeling Jewish community here in the U.S. and abroad shocked and disgusted.
The Chilling Spread of Copycat Fear
Also, security agencies are now on alert. The fear of copycat attacks is real. Pro-Palestinian protests, once political, are growing increasingly aggressive.
Rhetoric that once lived online is now spilling into real-world violence.
Radicalization at a Tipping Point
Former FBI analyst Rachel Goldstein warned: “We’re seeing the radicalization of an entire protest movement.”
“This is no longer just about Gaza,” she added. “This is about inciting terror on American soil.”
Officials say they are closely monitoring online spaces for signs of planned attacks.
Rodriguez Was No Lone Wolf
Authorities found connections between Rodriguez and leftist groups. His ties include the Party for Socialism and Liberation and ANSWER Coalition.
These organizations deny responsibility—but the digital trail says otherwise.
Victims Were Peace Advocates
Adding another layer of tragedy, both victims worked on Israeli-Palestinian peace initiatives.
Sarah Milgrim, 26, had devoted her life to coexistence efforts.
Yaron Lischinsky, 30, was planning to propose to her the following week.
Public Outcry Meets Online Celebration
While families grieve, parts of the internet celebrate. Screenshots of tweets and TikToks praising the killer have gone viral.
One reads, “He did what our leaders won’t.”
Embassy Killer or Radical Martyr?
The debate now centers not just on justice—but ideology. Is Elias Rodriguez a lone madman—or the first of many?
The FBI and DHS warn more violence may follow if social media platforms fail to curb incitement. Meanwhile, the Capitol remains tense.
The Embassy killer may have pulled the trigger, but the echoes of his act are only beginning to be felt.
