A young Jewish couple’s dreams were shattered by hate in the heart of America’s capital. Two Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were executed Wednesday night outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. The killer—now in custody—reportedly screamed “Free Palestine” as he murdered the couple, who were days away from getting engaged in Jerusalem.
The bloodshed happened after a peaceful event promoting Jewish unity. Witnesses say the attacker waited outside the museum, then opened fire as innocent people left. This wasn’t random violence—it was a calculated strike against Jewish lives and American allies. The killer’s own words prove this was terrorism disguised as activism.
While brave officers quickly caught the suspect, the damage is done. This attack exposes the rot of antisemitism spreading under weak leadership. Jewish institutions begged for better protection for years, yet this museum—a stone’s throw from the White House—became a killing field. Where’s the outrage from Washington elites?
The victims weren’t just diplomats—they were a vibrant couple building a future together. Their murders remind us that evil targets the innocent. For too long, radicals have hijacked campuses and city streets with pro-Hamas chants. Now their rhetoric has blood on its hands.
Reports say the killer shouted “I did this for Gaza” as he was arrested. Let’s be clear: This wasn’t about peace. It was about Jew-hatred dressed up as political speech. Every time someone downplays terrorist slogans, they enable more violence.
America’s streets shouldn’t be battlegrounds for foreign conflicts. Yet open borders and lax policing let extremists roam free. While the FBI scrambles to investigate, ordinary Americans ask: When will our leaders put safety over woke agendas?
The Israeli Embassy vows to keep standing tall. So should we. Supporting our allies isn’t optional—it’s a moral duty. This attack on U.S. soil demands more than thoughts and prayers. It requires crushing the ideologies that fuel such barbarism.
Tonight, as candles burn for Yaron and Sarah, decent people worldwide mourn. But mourning isn’t enough. We need leaders who’ll defend the innocent, punish the guilty, and never apologize for standing with Israel. The time for weakness is over.
