Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim should be alive today.
It is believed the couple were soon to be engaged, with reports mentioning that Lischinsky recently purchased a ring and planned to propose to Milgrim during an upcoming trip to Israel. The couple attended an event Wednesday night at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. They were murdered for no other reason than being Jewish and, unfortunately, being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The alleged assassin, Elias Rodriguez, was seen chanting “Free, Free Palestine” on a video after being apprehended by police. He’s been linked and known to sympathize with radical, far-Left, Marxist organizations.
Their lives ended far too soon, and they were taken because of a terrible problem liberals and Democrats refuse to acknowledge: fanatical, cult-like, left-wing political violence. In recent months, this has featured an embrace of antisemitism. However, the scourge of their radical extremism to want to hurt those who disagree with them has existed for quite some time.
The “Free, Free Palestine” mantra is a chant used by socialists, communists, and other radical left-wingers who oppose Israel in its war with Hamas. Members of these groups stormed college campuses throughout the nation in 2024 and, in many instances, caused riots and illegally occupied buildings at universities around the U.S. The murders of Lischinsky and Milgram are the latest tragic actions of an increasingly rabid and militant ideological movement that closely resembles the tactics of the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia of the early 20th century.
Consider the destruction that has followed in the wake of the disciples of this left-wing fanaticism that, in its current iteration, has caused violence, chaos, and destruction in the country for nearly 15 years. From the origins of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2012 after the death of Trayvon Martin to the murders and riots in 2020 in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, the dangers that left-wing activist groups cause are suspiciously ignored. Then, when their actions are discussed, it is presented as if they’re benevolent dissenters breaking up a corrupt and unjust system.
And when riots and lootings were not enough for them, these virulent leftists turned to attempted, and sometimes actual, homicides. There was the mass murder attempt of Republican congressional representatives on a baseball field in 2017 in which Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was severely wounded. Sen. Rand Paul was viciously attacked, causing him to break five ribs and have part of his lung removed. During the 2020 riots, left-wing agitators seized a section of Seattle and declared it an impromptu city-state known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
As the years passed, the stakes increased with a corresponding rise in violence. In December 2024, Luigi Mangione gunned down Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in cold blood. And then, on Wednesday night, an anti-Israel fanatic murdered two innocent people to fuel his rage, created by his devotion to radical left-wing ideology.
Left-wing violence must now be considered a serious threat in the country. Just exactly how many more people need to die because of their political violence?
TWO KILLED IN SHOOTING OUTSIDE CAPITAL JEWISH MUSEUM
It’s a phenomenon that has plagued the country for far too long while being vastly underreported. And while for years liberals, Democrats, and others on the Left tried to craft the narrative of political violence in the U.S. to focus on Trump supporters who rioted on Jan. 6, the actual threat in this country is radical left-wingers causing havoc from coast to coast — and have been for quite some time. It’s neo-Marxists like Elias Rodriguez who are the country’s most dangerous class.
The pretend dangers liberals and Democrats claim to worry about with MAGA Republicans exist with the disciples of the unhinged and militant fanatics on the Left. From multiple assassination attempts on President Donald Trump to throwing Molotov cocktails at people who own and drive Teslas to murdering Lischinsky and Milgrim, it’s time to appropriately acknowledge the dangers these left-wing political groups cause. Moreover, it’s time to stop them and ensure they never harm another person again.
