DC Shooting: Communist Terrorism in Support of Islamic Terrorism – Analysis

The red-green coalition between Communists and Islamists continues to pose a threat.

Elias Rodriguez, reportedly a member of the Communist front Party for Socialism and Liberation, opened fire outside the Israeli Embassy in D.C., killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a pair of staffers who were about to be engaged. The Communist terrorist shouted, “Free Palestine,” as he was taken into custody.

“A young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem. They were a beautiful couple,” Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter said.

Unlike many Muslim terrorist attacks, it’s important to note that this was a Communist terrorist attack.

Photos appear to show Rodriguez at an ANSWER coalition rally. ANSWER was the anti-war front group for the Party for Socialism and Liberation. PSL originated as a series of originally Trotskyist splinter groups that became more radical with every splintering. PSL in recent months has been loudly accusing Israel of ‘genocide’, but its larger mission is to radicalize members into a revolution against the United States.

In short, it’s a treasonous enemy organization that has been allowed to operate inside the United States.

This is not the first time its members have been linked to violence and the murders outside the Israeli Embassy ought to lead to action against what is effectively a domestic terrorist organization that wields a great deal of influence on the far Left through umbrella groups like ANSWER (in the old Communist style.)

Finally, the Communist terrorist attack in support of Islamic terrorism shows that the red-green coalition between Communists and Islamists continues to pose a threat.
