Hard to Write About This

Two staffers at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were shot and killed by a gunman who shouted, "Free Palestine."

Needless to say there has been a lot of freaking out in the Jewish community:

A young couple who worked for the Israeli Embassy were shot dead near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington late Wednesday by a gunman who chanted “free, free Palestine” after the shooting, according to authorities. A suspect was in custody, D.C. police said.

The victims were exiting the museum in Northwest Washington after attending an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee when the gunman opened fire, authorities said.

Israel’s X account identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. Israeli government officials said Thursday that Lischinsky was a research assistant in the Israeli Embassy’s political department and Milgrim organized missions and visits to Israel.

Needless to say, the Trump administration started trying to exploit this indecent to justify their policy priorities.

I just can't write about this any more, but I felt that I had to note this.
