Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum
A suspect is in custody after shooting dead two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.
The gunman, named by police as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, approached a group of four people leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum and opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Metropolitan police chief Pamela Smith said the shooter had been pacing outside the museum, which is steps away from the FBI’s field office, before the shooting.
After killing the pair, who officials said were a couple, he walked inside, where event security detained him. The suspect yelled: “Free, free Palestine,” after he was arrested, police said.
Are you implying anyone thought it would?
That’s a what globalize the intifada means in practice.
I don’t see how “globalize the intifada” jumps over to adventurist shootings. In practice, it means actions like writing off weapons factories (e.g. Palestine Action in the UK), strike and blockade actions (e.g. maritime unions, port actions), pressuring governments and organisations into withdrawing support for the zionist regime (e.g. boycotts, BDS movement, university protests) and other mass movement. We saw similar mobilisation with apartheid South Africa and the Vietnam War, so this isn’t some imaginary claim, it’s based on actual history of similar international solidarity movements.

Look up what happened during the second intifada. That’s the context. Of course that also includes militancy, violence, and terrorism.
Doesn’t even support a two state solution for example.
Vietnam and South Africa were different. Neither of which ended through university protests. The Vietnam war was too expensive and politically unwinnable. Apartheid South Africa ended because the ANC was able to alleviate the fears of white South Africans from being massacred if they lose power. Neither of which applies to Palestine.
Israel(is) can’t go their home elsewhere, like the American soldiers. They also have valid fears of being exterminated if they lose some nance over the situation. Something like October 7th Never happened in South Africa.
Harping on these other situations hinders your ability to understand what’s going on in Israel/Palestine.
