We speak with Israeli journalist Gideon Levy after a young Israeli couple was shot dead in Washington, D.C. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim both worked at the Israeli Embassy and were killed by a gunman after leaving the Capital Jewish Museum Wednesday night. The couple were dating and about to get engaged, the embassy said. Police identified Elias Rodriguez of Chicago as the suspect in custody. Video shows Rodriguez shouting “Free Palestine” during his arrest, and authorities are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime.

“This incident can be only condemned. Nothing that Israel is doing can justify such a murder,” says Levy. He adds that incidents like the Washington killings are adding to a growing sense inside Israel that “because of the war in Gaza, Israel is turning into a pariah state.”
