The Murder of Israeli Embassy Staff in D.C. - with Ted Deutch

The Murder of Israeli Embassy Staff in D.C. - with Ted Deutch

Author: Boundless Israel, Inc. May 24, 2025 Duration: 17:48

Two young Israeli embassy staffers - Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim - were murdered outside an AJC event in Washington, D.C. Their alleged killer reportedly declared, “I did it for Gaza.” This was not senseless violence - it was targeted, ideological, and part of a rising tide of antisemitism in America.

Aviva Klompas speaks with Ted Deutch, CEO of AJC, about who Yaron and Sarah were, how this attack reflects the normalization of Jew-hatred from both the far right and far left, and what must happen next—from political leadership to policy reform.

This is a sobering episode—and a call to act with clarity and courage.
