Two Israeli consulate staff were murdered tonight in DC leaving the American Jewish Museum for an @AJCGlobal event. My heart aches…
This is the inevitable result of dehumanizing Israelis and the fast-rising tide of antisemitism.
Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱 🇺🇸
Our hearts are heavy with sorrow as we mourn alongside the Jewish community in Washington DC, in the wake of this unspeakable act of terror.
The loss of two young lives to such depravity is a tragedy that shakes us all.
We stand with you in grief, in prayer, and in steadfast solidarity.
AJC CEO Ted Deutch released the following statement this evening: American Jewish Committee (AJC) can confirm that we hosted an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. this evening.
We are devastated that an unspeakable act of violence took place outside the venue.
At this moment, as we await more information from the police about exactly what transpired, our attention and our hearts are solely with those who were harmed and their families.

“Intifada” was never abstract. It has always been a call for Jewish blood.
And tonight, that blood was spilled on the streets of Washington, D.C.
Everyone who chanted. Everyone who cheered. Everyone who stayed silent - you all have blood on your hands.
Breaking News: The man charged in the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence staged the attack because he believed Shapiro’s stance on the war in Gaza was leading to the deaths of Palestinians, according to the police. https://t.co/Nz71BCkR2k
We welcome @POTUS Trump and @SecRubio's formal designation of the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization.
The Houthis, an Iranian proxy in Yemen, have attacked Israel and shipping lanes in the Red Sea over the past year and a half.
This move increases much-needed pressure on the Iranian regime and its proxies, some of the world's most destabilizing forces.
