‘Only sane thing to do:’ Writings, interviews tied to suspect in Israeli embassy staffer killings show political activism

  • Rodriguez, a 31-year-old resident of Chicago, faces charges related to the fatal shooting of two employees from the Israeli embassy outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday.
  • Authorities launched an investigation after Rodriguez, known for his involvement in various political causes, allegedly claimed he was motivated by a US airman’s self-immolation protest against the Gaza conflict.
  • Rodriguez, a known political activist, criticized major corporations, American military interventions, and law enforcement misconduct in his writings posted the same day, which also endorsed armed resistance as the only reasonable response.
  • The letter bearing Rodriguez’s name expressed outrage over Israeli actions in Gaza and framed armed resistance as a valid protest method, with FBI assessing its authenticity soon.
  • The shooting prompted statements distancing activist groups from Rodriguez, while authorities continue investigating the case's implications amid public calls to end the Gaza conflict.
