  1. Two Israeli diplomats have been shot dead outside a museum in Washington DC.

    The victims, one man and one woman, were employees at the Israeli embassy in the US capital and were killed after attending an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the deaths in a post on X after the shooting outside the museum, which is located steps away from the FBI’s field office and the US attorney’s office, in the Northwest of the nation’s capital.

    The victims had reportedly been attending the Young Diplomats Reception for young Jewish professionals.

    Washington police chief Pamela Smith said a single suspect who was seen pacing outside the museum before the event was in custody.

    The suspect chanted “Free Palestine, Free Palestine,” in custody, she added

  2. This was bound to happen someday… What a shitty world to live in.

  3. Shooting diplomats will do the opposite of, “Free Palestine”.

    I don’t know what does through the minds of such people but rationally speaking, they’ve done more than harm to their “cause”.

    Also, this person will spend the rest of their life in prison while changing nothing except murdering two young people in cold blood.

  6. Didnt Israel shoot at a delegation of multi-national diplomats just yesterday in Palestine? Israel needs to realize the world not just Palestinians are sick of their entitled double-standards.

  7. Guess all those nice progressive college kids who chanted “Globalize the Intifada” got their wish. Great work, folks.

    The Wall Street Journal reports that the Israeli ambassador says the two staffers who were killed were a couple, and that they were planning on getting engaged next week in Jerusalem.

  8. All of this arguing here, yet no one has recognized that conflict is conflict, and it will always stress the human ability to compartmentalize and seek peace.

    When a government runs a regime against a place such as Palestine, you cannot be surprised that there will be backlash, regardless of where it is in the world.

    This is a place called Geopolitics: why are we surprised that people kill for their beliefs and ideology?

  9. How come we never see college kids kill Russians and yell out ‘Free Ukraine’?

    or Chinese and then yell out ‘Free Tibet!’?
