Today on “The TMI Show,” Ted Rall and Robby West (filling in for the whale-watching Manila Chan) to tackle a gut-wrenching double murder that’s rocking the nation. On Wednesday night, a shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., left two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, dead. The suspect, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, gunned down the couple—described as deeply in love —before being detained by event security. Police say Rodriguez shouted “Free, free Palestine” after his arrest, igniting fierce debates over antisemitism and anti-Zionist rhetoric. Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said the shooter was pacing near the FBI’s field office before the attack. Israeli leaders, including Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and Prime Minister Netanyahu, condemned the killings, linking them to rising antisemitic incitement. President Trump also slammed the attack, calling for an end to hatred. The incident has sparked heated controversy, with questions about motive, security failures, and the broader climate of division. Tune in as Ted and Robby unpack the facts, the fallout, and what this means for a polarized world.
