(Harbinger’s Daily)—U.S. Congressional leaders Mike Johnson, the Republican House Speaker from Louisiana, and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic House Minority Leader, convened a bipartisan vigil on Tuesday in honor of the two Israeli embassy employees, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, who were shot and killed last month at the Capital Jewish Museum.
The two congressmen were also joined by Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter, American Jewish Committee (AJC) CEO Ted Deutch, several hostage family members, including Ronen Neutra, and staff from the Israeli Embassy and AJC.
During his speech at the vigil, Johnson spoke out against the anti-Israel movement which has been increasingly vocal and violent in the United States.
“’Free Palestine’ is the chant of a violent movement that has found common cause with Hamas,” Johnson said.
“It’s a dangerous time to be a Jewish American,” Johnson said, noting that “the two innocent lives we honor today should still be with us.”
