Far-left, anti-Israel Bronx activist group shockingly cheers accused DC Jewish Museum terrorist Elias Rodriguez, encourages more violence

In the Bronx, a radical left-wing group has been condemned for praising the suspected terrorist involved in the shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers in an antisemitic attack. The Bronx Anti-War group expressed support for Elias Rodriguez, the alleged gunman, calling his actions the epitome of anti-Zionism and stating that the world needs more individuals like him, as seen in their social media posts. These shocking remarks faced criticism from local leaders, including Bronx Representative Ritchie Torres.

Elias Rodriguez, a Chicago native, was apprehended shortly after the fatal shooting outside a Jewish museum in Washington D.C. Following the incident, the @BXAntiwar Twitter account posted a series of tweets that drew attention to the Bronx Anti-War Coalition, identifying them as a group comprised of working-class individuals who oppose imperialism and are predominantly led by people of color.

Rep. Torres denounced the Bronx Anti-War Coalition for characterizing the violent targeting of Jews as a form of extreme anti-Zionism, emphasizing that such behavior is not an anomaly but a characteristic of virulent anti-Zionist sentiments. The suspect, 31-year-old Rodriguez, was charged with the murder of Sarah Milgrim and her partner Yaron Lischinsky outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night.

The Bronx Anti-War Coalition advocates for resistance against state violence and the promotion of decolonization, emphasizing their working-class and anti-imperialist stance.
