Ken Klippenstein - I’ve obtained the alleged manifesto written by Elias Rodriguez, suspect in the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC on Wednesday.
I believe the document to be authentic for several reasons, including the fact that it is signed by Rodriguez and timestamped well before he was named by law enforcement or any media. I am publishing it here not to glorify the violence — which I find abhorrent and condemn — but so the public can better understand the truth of what happened.
I’m glad Ken posts these things so the authorities and media can’t just make blanket “it was antisemitism” statements as though this guy was another Nazi killing for hate. It’s sad to see violence come home, but everyone with a brain knows this is inevitable. When you criminalize protest and treat people like an occupied nation, people start acting like it, and they make their voices known through stochastic violence.
