A far-left American activist has called for pro-Hamas terrorists to murder Israeli diplomats, while lauding a gunman who killed two staffers from the Israeli embassy in Washington earlier this year.

On Friday, communist activist Calla Walsh, a member of the Massachusetts branch of the group Peace Action and founder of Palestine Action US, appeared on the “War Time Cafe” podcast, hosted by the “Free Palestine TV” channel on YouTube.

During the interview, the 21-year-old activist lauded Elias Rodriguez over his May 21, 2025, shooting attack on a group of Israeli embassy staffers exiting an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., which left Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim dead.

Walsh went on to explicitly call for the killing of other “Zionist diplomats.”

“Like, we should be asking ourselves why there weren’t 100 more Elias Rodriguez’s, why there weren’t 10 of us able to evacuate him, and to take out more Zionist diplomats, and I think the response we saw from people in the region and the Axis of resistance countries, shows the importance of his action.

“On Iranian TV we hear newscasters saying that Yahya Sinwars are being born in the United States and that this was a martyrdom operation.”

Walsh added that “Zionists” anywhere around the world are legitimate targets, calling attacks on Jewish targets even outside of Israel “justified and necessary.”

“The Zionists and imperialists have made the entire world a battlefield, and therefore, like, we have to be behind enemy lines everywhere, and that resistance anywhere in this world is justified and necessary, and you don’t have to go to Palestine to take part in resistance. If you live in the US, you can do it right there. And that is exactly what Elias did,” she said.

This is not the first time that Walsh, the daughter of a Boston University English professor and a former Democratic Party activist, has endorsed lethal violence against Israelis and American Jews.

In July, she spoke on Iranian state TV, saying in Farsi, “Death to America. Death to Israel.”

On the September 2 edition of the “Millennials Are Killing Capitalism” podcast, Walsh not only expressed support for Rodriguez, but also showed solidarity with a number of individuals arrested over violent attacks against American Jews, including Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal immigrant from Egypt who murdered an elderly Jewish woman in a firebombing attack in Colorado.

“We need to uphold these people and defend these people because they have resisted,” Walsh said.

In October 2023, Walsh and nine other Palestine Action US activists were arrested after vandalized a facility operated in the US by the Elbit Systems, an Israel-based company.

A month later, Walsh led the takeover and damaging of an Elbit facility in New Hampshire.
