Two Israeli Embassy Workers Killed
Statement from Rockland County Executive Day
“Our hearts break for the two innocent Israeli embassy workers killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. Wednesday night. It is being reported that the suspect, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, chanted “Free, free Palestine” while in custody, in addition to an eyewitness claiming he said he “did it for Gaza.”
Racism, bigotry, discrimination, and political violence in any form are not only morally repugnant but also a threat to the foundations of a just and harmonious society.
The County of Rockland believes in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background and without question an attack on one is an attack on all. We must stand united and refuse to let fear and prejudice divide us.”
