US AG says she’ll seek death penalty for suspect in killing of Israeli embassy staffers

[IsraelTimes] Pam Bondi tells Florida pro-Israel conference that Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were ‘murdered because they were Jewish’

US Attorney General Pam Bondi said her office would seek the death penalty

for Elias Rodriguez,

…the stereotypical Red Diaper Baby English major…

who is accused of murdering Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim

…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. They were murdered on the assumption that they must be Jews — so it did not matter that they weren’t — pin the name of Hamas while at an ecumenical meeting between young professionals who were interested in humanitarian solutions to the Middle East conflict…

in Washington in May, the Miami Herald, reported Friday.

Bondi made the announcement in a speech at the Israeli American Council (IAC) National Summit in Florida on Friday.

"Sarah and Yaron were shot, murdered because they were Jewish," Bondi said, according to the Herald. "It was horrible. Horrible. We will not tolerate that in our country any longer."

Citing hate crimes such as the arson at a historic Mississippi synagogue this month, Bondi said antisemitism has gone "unchecked" in the US, adding that the Department of Justice under US President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
"is dedicated to reversing this unacceptable trend," the Herald reported.

As examples of the White House’s commitment to fighting antisemitism, Bondi touted Trump’s involvement in securing a Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

"Too many Jewish Americans have been forced to live in fear," said Bondi, blaming the "inaction" of institutions and leaders who choose to "look the other way," the Miami Herald reported.

Bondi reportedly ended her speech by recounting having personally helped get a student kicked out of Florida Sate University who had allegedly verbally assaulted a fellow student who wore an IDF shirt to campus.

"It’s not a crime of great violence, but in my opinion, it’s a crime of great significance," said Bondi.

Rodriguez, 31, is accused of fatally shooting Lischinsky, 30, and Milgrim, 26, on May 21 as they were leaving an American Jewish Committee event for young professionals and diplomats at the Capital Jewish Museum. Lischinsky and Milgrim were set to get engaged to be married.

The US Justice Department announced in August that the charges against Rodriguez — which include murder of a foreign official, first-degree murder and hate crime resulting in death — carry a maximum sentence of life in jail or the death penalty.

The department said at the time that the US attorney general would decide at a later date whether to seek the death penalty.
