A far-left, anti-Israel group in the Bronx disgustingly cheered the suspected terrorist accused of gunning down the two Israeli Embassy staffers in an antisemitic attack.
The Bronx Anti-War group said what alleged gunman Elias Rodriguez “did is the highest expression of anti-Zionism” and “We need more Elias Rodriguez in this world” in a pair of social media posts on Thursday.
The shocking statements quickly drew fire from local leaders, including Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres.
“The Bronx Anti-War coalition, which has been harassing me since October 7th, has described the murderous targeting of Jews as ‘the highest expression of anti-Zionism,’” Torres said in a statement.
“Violence is not a bug but a feature of virulent Anti-Zionism.”
Rodriguez, 31, was charged with fatally shooting Sarah Milgrim and her boyfriend Yaron Lischinsky Wednesday night shortly after 9 p.m. outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC.
The coalition is described as a Bronx-based group made up of working-class people who are anti-imperialist and led by people of color. They push for “resisting state violence while advancing decolonization.”
