The Recent Attacks on Jews Reveal the Anti-Israel Movement For What It Is

An absolute dumpster fire of antisemitism.

I can’t believe I have to write this sentence in 2025, but here we are again:

On Sunday, 12 Jews—ages 52 to 88—were LIT ON FIRE outside the Pearl Street mall in Boulder, Colorado, during a small rally calling for the release of 58 Israeli hostages held in Gaza. One of the victims was a Holocaust survivor. The metaphors, unfortunately, are writing themselves. Apparently, irony got tired of being subtle.

The rally was part of a weekly event organized by a group called Run For Their Lives, which, yeah… that name aged like milk.

This isn’t exactly an isolated incident, either.

Just 11 days before this attack, Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky were gunned down outside the capital jewish museum in D.C., where they attended a panel on humanitarian aid for Gaza. Not an Israeli convention. Not even a political fundraiser. AID. You know, the thing that helps people not die. The very thing they keep talking about.

Apparently being a visible jew anywhere in public puts a target on your back now.

Just a few months ago, we saw another domestic terrorist (this time a random white guy) firebomb Governor Josh Shapiro’s PA residence on the first night of Passover, leaving the entire first floor torched. He did that in the name of Gaza, also.

I’m sensing a pattern. Are you?

Colorado has violent antisemites, too

Enter: Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45.
Shirtless. Giving full Dollar Store Putin energy.
Except instead of riding a horse, he showed up to a mall to barbecue your bubbie.

He had 18 Molotov cocktails on hand but only threw two into a crowd of about 20 people because he got scared.

According to CNN, Soliman had been previously denied a U.S. visa and had overstayed a tourist visa in California, which expired in Feb 2023. Great start all around. Investigators say he’d been planning this attack for over a year.

The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is seen yelling while carrying two bottles in Boulder, Colorado on June 1, 2025. @BHFlyer5/X

He reportedly yelled "Free Palestine!" before hurling Molotov cocktails and attacking with a makeshift flamethrower.

Other things he shouted:

• “How many children have you killed?”

• “We need to end Zionists.”

• Pointing to victims: “They are killers.”

• he told cops he wanted to “kill all zionist people.” At least he sees us as people.

Weird. His talking points sound like an average day at Columbia University.

Except this isn’t some academic debate in a Columbia courtyard about postcolonial epistemologies.

It’s almost like all this violent language about Israel has violent consequences for Jews who live everywhere else.

And this isn’t taken seriously by the pro-Palestinian crowd. At all.

Some of y’all are still out here doing olympic-level backflips trying to explain why it’s actually not that bad.
