Chaos in Boulder: 45-year-old Foreign National Wreaks Havoc at Jewish Demonstration
Protests by Jews in the USA met with physical assault, leaving eight individuals hurt. - Demonstrating Jews suffer assault in American incident, leaving eight hurt
Here's the lowdown:
The recent commotion in Boulder was orchestrated by a 45-year-old named Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national with a questionable legal status. The FBI swiftly identified him as the prime suspect but kept mum on further details. Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn remained tight-lipped about Soliman's motives, refusing to confirm a terrorism charge, stating, "It's too early."
Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, revealed that Soliman was indeed a foreign national who had overstayed his visa and was illegally residing in the USA.
The instability erupted during a weekly solidarity march in Boulder for the Israeli hostages imprisoned in Gaza. Witnesses reported that Soliman, armed with an improvised flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, targeted participants, shouting "Free Palestine!" according to FBI investigator Mark Michalek.
A video footage captures a man, shirtless and brandishing bottles, running through the crowds, yelling "Down with the Zionists!" as people tend to an injured individual on the ground.
The police confirmed that eight individuals, ranging in age from 52 to 88, suffered injuries. One victim remained in critical condition.
The incident in Boulder took place close to three weeks after the deadly attack outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, where a man murdered two employees of the Israeli embassy, once again shouting "Free Palestine."
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar denounced the incident, branding it "pure antisemitism." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed the finger at the surge of antisemitic attacks globally, attributing it to "blood libel accusations against the Jewish state and its people."
The White House announced that President Donald Trump had been informed about the incident. "Terror has no place in our great country," commented US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, expressed shock, stating, "Terrorism against Jews does not cease at the Gaza Strip's border; it's already burning the streets of America." The Israeli American Council labeled the attack as "an attack on all of us."
This incident follows the significant attack by Islamic Hamas and its affiliates on Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in over 1200 fatalities and the kidnapping of 251 people, according to Israeli reports. Around 57 hostages are still held captive by the Islamists, with at least 34 confirmed dead by the Israeli military.
In response to the Hamas incursion, Israel has since been executing extensive military operations in the Gaza Strip. The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, which cannot be independently verified, reports over 54,000 casualties to date.
Steve Redfearn, the Boulder Police Chief, declined to confirm a terrorism charge, instead stating that it was too early to determine Soliman's motives. In the world of politics and crime-and-justice, Stephen Miller revealed that Soliman was a foreign national who had overstayed his visa, living illegally in the USA. Meanwhile, the war-and-conflicts in Palestine and Gaza Strip continue, with general news outlets reporting eight wounded in the attack on Jewish demonstrators in the Gaza Strip, echoing the chaos that erupted in Boulder on that Sunday.
