WASHINGTON — Elias Rodriguez, the Chicago man charged with killing two Israeli Embassy employees outside a Jewish museum here in May, pleaded not guilty to the government’s charges at a brief hearing. Prosecutors have charged Rodriguez with nine counts related to the murders of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, who were shot outside an American Jewish Committee reception at the Capital Jewish Museum. Rodriguez entered the museum after the shooting and stated, “I did it for Palestine,” according to prosecutors. The indictment against Rodriguez alleges that he shouted “free Palestine” while repeatedly shooting Milgrim and Lischinsky outside the museum on May 21. Prosecutors say he then entered the building, unfurled a red kaffieyeh and yelled “shame on Zio-Nazi terror.”It remains unclear whether Rodriguez intentionally targeted employees of the Israeli government.
