Unity of Fields, a ‘militant front against the US-NATO-zionist axis of Imperialism,’ wants protesters to support murderer of Israeli embassy staffers
Unity of Fields, an anti-Semitic, anti-American group involved in the protests at Columbia University, urged protesters to post stickers in honor of Elias Rodriguez, the Chicago man who murdered two Israeli embassy staffers outside a Jewish history museum in Washington, D.C.
“You can print these stickers and post them everywhere,” Unity of Fields wrote in a Monday X post. One sticker shows Rodriguez’s image over a Palestinian flag, while the other features the killer beside the words “Courage Is Contagious” and “For Gaza From Elias.”
The group called on supporters to distribute its zine containing Rodriguez’s manifesto, titled “Escalate for Gaza, Bring the War Home.” It also pinned a statement on its X page that says Rodriguez’s cold-blooded slayings were “a legitimate act of resistance against the zionist state.”
Rodriguez on Wednesday evening gunned down Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim as the couple left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. The 31-year-old anti-Israel activist kept firing at Milgrim as she lay wounded on the ground, then shouted “free, free Palestine” after killing both victims, according to police.
Unity of Fields, a self-described “militant front against the US-NATO-zionist axis of Imperialism” that has received funding from Cox Enterprises heir and self-avowed communist James Chambers, has been involved in many of the anti-Semitic protests at Columbia. On May 7, for example, the group handed out pro-Hamas pamphlets and shared live footage of demonstrators occupying and vandalizing a campus library during finals week, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
“LONG LIVE THE MILITANT INTELLECTUAL BASEL AL-ARAJ! INTIFADA EVERYWHERE UNTIL VICTORY! DEATH TO IMPERIALISM!” Unity of Fields wrote on X at the time.
As police arrested dozens of protesters, the group posted, “We not only call for the total destruction of ‘Israel’ but for the total destruction of the United States of Amerika as well. Anyone who isn’t saying both isn’t saying much of anything at all.”
