Rodriguez is reportedly a member of Party for Socialism and Liberation, which posted an "anti genocide pledge" on its social media.

The Chicago man charged with killing two Israeli embassy staffers has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian issues and a staunch critic of corporations.

The suspected terrorist charged with gunning down two Israeli embassy workers in Washington Wednesday is associated with radical socialist groups funded by the far-left Chinese sympathizer, millionaire Neville Singham and his activist wife Jodie Evans.

On its website, the group clearly mentions that it supports the "right to resist colonial imperialism by any means necessary, including armed struggle."

Authorities raid Elias Rodriguez's Chicago apartment after he allegedly killed two Israeli embassy workers outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C.

The Bronx Anti-War group said what alleged gunman Elias Rodriguez “did is the highest expression of anti-Zionism” and “We need more Elias Rodriguez in this world” in a pair of social media posts Thursday. The shocking statements quickly drew fire from Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres.

CBS News Chicago Investigators have learned that Rodriguez attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, graduating in spring of 2018 with a bachelor's degree in English. According to a LinkedIn page, for a short time he worked as a production and oral history researcher at History Makers, a non-profit that documents the lives of Black Americans.

Rodriguez was also earlier active in protests and rallies around Chicago in 2017 and 2018 as part of the ANSWER Coalition, another far-left socialist group.
