| [IsraelTimes] The US Department of Justice is expected to seek the death penalty for the man accused of killing Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim in Washington, DC, back in May, CNN reports. He was born an Israeli Messianic Jew who attended the Episcopalian church every Sunday, she was born an American Jew who followed him into Christianity, their wedding was to have been in the near future. Their calling was bringing Jews and Palestinians together in Israel, but they were murdered as Jews in the name of Hamas while at an ecumenical meeting between young professionals who were interested in humanitarian solutions to the Middle East conflict The suspect behind the attack, Elias Rodriguez,…the stereotypical Red Diaper Baby English major whose name is alternately spelt Elias Rodrigues… is expected to be indicted this week on federal hate crime charges, CNN states, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. He has already been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, as well as other charges, including the murder of foreign officials.By adding federal hate crime charges, the Department of Justice would be paving the way to hand down a death penalty to the alleged double murderer. Rodriguez allegedly murdered Lischinsky, a research assistant in the Israeli Embassy’s political section, and his partner Milgrim, a member of the embassy’s administrative staff, outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC on May 22. Police said at the time that Rodriguez had shouted “Free Palestine” after being taken into custody by event security.
