'More Elias': These people are celebrating the Capital Jewish Museum shooting [View all]
At 12:52 a.m., just minutes after the name of one of the victims of the Capital Jewish Museum attack began to trickle out online, a social media user by the name of Mejd S tweeted a short message: “F— Yaron Lischinsky.”
Ten minutes earlier, Mejd had trawled Lischinsky’s profile on X, where the Israeli embassy staffer had posted a stream of Israeli diplomatic talking points — that Hamas is the main obstacle to aid distribution in Gaza, that the group embeds among civilians, and that international law courts trying Israel are illegitimate.
For Mejd, that was enough to conclude that Lischinsky “loved baby murder.” He added, “Lol I dont feel sorry for this freak rest in piss.”
The post has been shared dozens of times. As of 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, it has 11,000 views.
Mejd’s post may have been one of the first to justify the murder of two Israeli embassy employees at a Jewish event in Washington, DC, Wednesday night, but it was hardly the most popular. Some who have used the “Free Palestine” slogan the shooter repeated, or who once had ties to him, are disavowing him under criticism from pro-Israel activists. But a range of hardline pro-Palestinian social media accounts are praising the attack or paying homage to the man who allegedly committed it, Elias Rodriguez.
