So ממה נפשך. If she was Jewish according to Halacha, so she was a תינוקת שנשבה למהדרין מן המהדרין לכל הדעות, because she didn’t even grow up in a place where she was likely to encounter Orthodox Jews of any kind. If she wasn’t Jewish כהלכה then she wasn’t doing anything wrong by planning to marry a non-Jew… At any rate, as has been pointed out, the filthy רוצח who killed them didn’t check their יחוס first. If your point is that the secular Israeli State and its overseas agencies spread confusion on the subject of מי הוא יהודי, then yes, that is a big problem. But people with basic human sensitivity understand that now is not the time to talk about this issue.

“At the Israeli embassy in Washington, Miss Milgrim was assigned to work with homosexual groups and women’s organizations, and she was in charge of outreach to progressive and social justice-oriented groups.”

If you learned Maseches Sanhedrin and Maseches Makkos you would know that even someone who actually did חיובי מיתה במזיד, and was executed by בית דין, we say כיון שלקה הרי הוא כאחיך. If you have complaints or ideas about where her נשמה is going, you have to take that up with the בית דין של מעלה, but I don’t recommend being in a hurry to visit their office… Honestly, I don’t know if you and I are better in Hashem’s eyes than her. She really and truly didn’t know better. In her limited understanding of Judaism, she probably thought that working at the Israeli Embassy was a very wonderful Jewish thing to do. Is it sad that innocent נשמות are confused by all kinds of meshigasen, including but not limited to those promoted by the Israeli Government? Yes, very much so. If that bothers you, (and it should), so either engage in קירוב רחוקים or donate to those who do… You’d be surprised that right here in ארץ ישראל you can find many fine Kosher anti-Zionist Yidden who are big into being מקרב our brothers and sisters, and are capable of communicating with them in a way they can appreciate. If you can’t do that, then at least don’t do damage.
