A rabid anti-Israel hate group accused of helping to incite a Columbia University library takeover is now praising alleged DC Jewish Museum shooter Elias Rodriguez’s heinous crime as an act of “love.”
The notorious radical Unity of Fields also touted and provided a link to Rodriguez’s reported hate-fueled manifesto titled, “ESCALATE FOR GAZA, BRING THE WAR HOME.’’
“What Elias Rodriguez did was an act of solidarity and love for the Palestinian people,’’ the extreme lefty organization wrote on X Friday.
A Unity of Fields pamphlet praises Elias Rodriguez. Unity of Fields“If this seems crazy and unhinged to you, ask yourself why you are so well adjusted to a constant stream of disemboweled and starving children — made possible by the country in which you reside.”
Rodriguez, 31, of Chicago, allegedly gunned down soon-to-be-engaged Jewish couple Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, outside the museum Wednesday night after an event aimed at fostering peace.
The homegrown radical continued to shoot Milgrim even as she lay mortally wounded on the ground and tried to crawl away, authorities said.
Rodriguez admitted to authorities minutes later that he was the shooter, shouting “Free, free Palestine!”
Unity of Fields called the accused double-killer a “political prisoner.
“And the people defending him the hardest, like us, are people also facing repression,’’ it seethed on X on Thursday.
Suspect Elias Rodriguez is taken away by Metropolitan Police. Katie Kalisher via Storyful“We don’t condemn armed resistance,’’ it wrote. “We don’t condemn direct action. We back the left and want this energy to be more organized as opposed to shunned and isolated.”
In touting Rodriguez’s purported manifesto, the group posted a section of the suspect’s twisted screed:
“Those of us against the genocide take satisfaction in arguing that the perpetrators and abettors have forfeited their humanity. I sympathize with this viewpoint and understand its value in soothing the psyche which cannot bear to accept the atrocities it witnesses, even mediated through the screen. But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human.”
Unity of Fields is the same group that put out fliers lionizing a Palestinian terrorist — leaflets that were passed around as anti-Israel protesters stormed Columbia’s Butler Library on May 7.
The shadowy organization, formerly known as Palestine Action US, was also behind a despicable anarchist how-to guide that started circulating among Columbia students earlier this year.

The US group is an offshoot of Palestine Action UK, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
One of its benefactors has allegedly been James “Fergie’’ Chambers, the estranged son of billionaire NBA Atlanta Hawks co-owner James Cox Chambers.
The radical heir is from the family that owns Cox Enterprises, whose holdings also include a media company and the auto industry’s famed Kelley Blue Book, according to reports.
In 2023, the then-38-year-old Communist son told Los Angeles Magazine that he was using his trust fund at least partly to pay for legal costs for the underground US group.
“Israel does not deserve to exist,” he told the mag. “It is a false state propped up by the West.
“I chant death to America every day. Imperialism is the death of humanity,” Fergie said.

ThehistorymakersAn X account titled “Columbia Jewish & Israeli Students’’ raged against Unity of Fields’ latest posts about the DC killings and accused the group of being “intimately involved in the planning and execution of antisemitic protest and propaganda activities” at the Ivy League.
“Now they’re actively cheering on yesterday’s tragic DC murder of 2 Israeli embassy staffers,” it wrote.
“This is what their ultimate goal is, and why we keep saying that these protests make the Jewish campus community unsafe.”
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) told The Post, “You can draw a direct line from the tragic murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky to the explosion in antisemitic violence across college campuses and beyond since Oct. 7.
“I will continue to call out this hate-fueled violence and work to stamp out this despicable wave of antisemitism sweeping our nation.”
Meanwhile, an X user wrote of Unity of Fields, “This account is inciting domestic terrorism.”
Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf also said, “Only an amoral idiot believes that a bullet is a kiss.

The ADL said Fergie has claimed Unity of Fields is an “affinity network” that shares ideas and an “affinity for direct action and an opposition to the occupation” but does not necessarily dictate activities to other groups.
It describes the group as “a radical far-left, anti-Zionist ‘direct action network’ that engages in and/or promotes aggressive, targeted protests and the defacement of property belonging to Jewish and non-Jewish organizations and individuals it considers supportive of Israel or Zionism or ‘complicit’ in Israel’s alleged actions.”
In a now-deleted X posting reported by the Jerusalem Post earlier this month, Unity of Fields suggested cops should be set on fire, after protesters ignited dumpsters at the University of Washington to thwart police.
“If the pigs are advancing on your barricades, push them back by any means necessary,” the post said.
“Instead of lighting the barricades on fire, why not aim a little further?”
The post was followed by two emojis of bacon.
