The Israeli embassy staff who were killed outside the Jewish Museum of the DC -Jewish

The democratic legislature met on Thursday in front of the Jewish Capital Museum to condemn the murders of two Israeli embassy workers who were shot by a man on Thursday evening who screamed in front of the camera.

The legislators included Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.; Rep. Brad Schneider, D-IL.; Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif.; Rep. Laura Friedman, D-Calif.; Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash.; and Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md.

“When Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, a couple who was Israelis – was Sarah, was an American who worked for the Israeli message in cold blood because they were Jewish because they were connected to the Israeli message because they were goals because they were goals because they were goals because they were goals because they were goals because they were goals” They were targets “because they were goals,” said Shultz. “We six wanted to come today to make sure that we can express our grief, our grief.”

Shultz also said she wanted to express Zichronam Livronha and said: “May the memories of Sarah and Yaron be a blessing.”

Schneider thought about a time when he went to the synagogue as a child, and he saw additional security forces during the holidays. Over the years, he noticed, the weapons that were wearing the guards were getting longer.

But in recent years, he said, the guards not only appear on vacation, but every day.

“In the 19 months since October 7, 2023, we saw an increase in anti -Semitism that was unprecedented in my life,” said Schneider.

He said that people with the Jewish belief should not show their beliefs whether they wear a baseball cap instead of a Yarmulke or puts David's star in her shirts.

“We are grief. We are afraid. But we are not surprised what happened and we won't return,” said Schneider. “The determination of all of us who stand here, the determination of every American Jew, the determination of Jews around the world, is that we will hold proud and despite.”

Jacobs repeated her colleagues and said she was horrified by the murders.

“A shootout like this has taken life to us. It should also be scared. “It is meant that every Jewish parent like my brother and my sister -in -law, who put her babies into a Jewish preschool this morning this morning.

“They try to scare us, but we won't be afraid,” continued Jacobs. “And we will continue to work to free the world of anti -Semitism and all forms of hatred, racism and bigotry so that Jewish people and everyone can feel safe everywhere.”

Schrier said she mourned and sympathetically with the families of the two victims.

“This experiences should be scared, but they also remember that these last 50 years were a kind of break of thousands of years of anti -Semitism – that it has not disappeared that it has been born again since October 7, 2023 and that we are all worried,” she said. “We live in the United States. We have the ability not to agree, openly agree, to express thoughts, to protest peacefully, and political violence and hate crimes are never the answer. And that only contributes to the grief that we all feel for themselves and for Sarah and for their families.”

Ferred then turned to the College Campus of anti -Semitism and assumed the Trump administration.

“I want to be really clear that what is currently happening with anti -Semitism as an apology, especially to break up … at the universities' institutions that are not acceptable for the vast majority of American Jews,” she said. “It is opposite to our values. We understand that these institutions are the institutions that support liberal and democratic values, the values ​​that enable Jewish people in this country to thrive and reach in the past 50 years. And I just want to prepare ourselves as an excuse for freedom of speech and condemn the pupils, and to deny the funds for our universities where we are all over.”
