Sick liberals have hailed the suspected shooter of an Israeli diplomat couple who were gunned down outside a Jewish museum in Washington D.C.

Leftists have heaped praise on Elias Rodridguez, 31, who shouted ‘free, free Palestine’ as he was taken into custody shortly after the shooting on Wednesday.

Rodriguez is believed to be responsible for the murder of Sarah Milgrim, 26, and her boyfriend Yaron Lischinsky, 28.

The couple had just attended a reception for young diplomats which featured discussions on aid for Gaza when they were fatally shot. 

Lischinsky had bought a ring and planned to propose to Milgrim before their brutal deaths and the couple have been mourned by those who knew them.

But despite this, online ghouls have been lauding their murders and the man believed to be responsible. 

‘Thank you for your service,’ one person wrote on X underneath on of what is believed to be Rodriguez’s posts which urges his followers to ‘escalate for Gaza, bring the war home’.

‘What a hero,’ another person added, with a heart emoji.

‘Thank you comrade,’ wrote a third. Rodriguez has been linked to several communist and socialist groups.

The shooting has also given rise to anti-semitic conspiracy theories that Rodriguez is a ‘false flag’, who acted as a Mossad agent to garner sympathy for Israel. 

Many of those spreading the misinformation have seized on the everything from Rodriguez’s name to the fact he was arrested so quickly.

‘If Luigi Mangione’s name gets to go down in history as the good guy, so does Elias Rodriguez’s name,’ one person wrote, referencing the suspected UnitedHealthcare shooter who has become folkloric vigilante to some twisted supporters.

‘Even if it is the most obvious false flag in the world.’

‘Elias Rodriguez … because nothing screams ‘radical Islamic terrorist’ like the most generic Latin name in the phonebook,’ another added.

‘No record, no motive, perfect timing, perfect slogan. If this isn’t a false flag, it deserves an Oscar.’

 ‘He was shouting ‘Free Palestine.’ I highly suspect a False Flag staged by Mossad,’ another added.

Milgrim and Lischinsky were on their way out of the Capitol Jewish Museum when they were shot.

‘Sarah and Yaron were stolen from us,’ said Deutch, the AJC’s chief executive.

 ‘Moments before they were murdered, they were smiling, laughing and enjoying an event with colleagues and friends. We are in shock and heartbroken as we attempt to process this immense tragedy.’

He described Milgrim, from Overland Park, Kansas, as ‘warm and compassionate, committed to peace building and passionate about sustainability and people-to-people relations.’ 

He said Lischinsky was a staff member of the embassy’s political department who at the event told others that he was eager to return to Israel to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot with his family.

The killings have been condemned by the president and Jewish groups.

‘These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW!’ Donald Trump said on social media.

‘Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA. Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!’

Some even posited sick conspiracy theories that the shooter was a 'false flag' planted by Israel to garner sympathy

‘The Zionist Organization of America condemns the brutal antisemitic murder of two innocent staffers of the Israel embassy outside the Capitol Jewish Museum,’ National President Morton Klein said.

 ‘This heinous act by a subhuman killer must be publicly condemned by everyone.’

It comes amid Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza in response to the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 which killed 1,200 people and resulted in 250 hostages begin abducted.

Since then, Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza has killed more than 53,000 people, mostly women and children, according to local health authorities, whose count doesn’t differentiate between combatants and civilians. 

An Israeli blockade has also caused widespread hunger and prompted fears of famine.
