Unprovoked Attack in Boulder
Molotov devices detonated amidst Jewish protest in U.S.: Increased casualties reported
Let's cut to the chase, folks. A right ol' ruckus took place in Boulder, Colorado last Sunday, leaving a dozen folks injured after a brutal Molotov cocktail attack on a Jewish demonstration. The perpetrator, a 45-year-old Egyptian gent named Mohamed Sabry Soliman, reportedly stocked up on more than a dozen Molotv cocktails, though only hurled two at the crowd.
The demonstrators were peacefully protesting for the release of Israeli hostages held by the Islamic Hamas in Gaza. Some of the victims were seniors—even an 80-year-old Holocaust survivor. Yes, you read that right.
Witnesses reported that Soliman used a flamethrower during the attack, resulting in several severe burn injuries. Two people are still in the hospital, while four others received only minor injuries.
Motive Revealed
Soliman is accused of shouting "Free Palestine" during the attack and was charged with federal hate crimes and terrorism-related offenses. According to court documents, he's stated he’d kill all "Zionist people" and wished they were dead. He claims he planned the attack for over a year, waiting for his daughter to graduate before executing it.
It's worth noting that Soliman entered the USA without a valid visa and had overstayed a tourist visa. Seems like he's been dodging authorities for a while now.
Authorities' Take
The FBI quickly labeled the incident a "targeted act of violence" and higher-ups in the U.S. government, including President Donald Trump, branded it as terrorism. Trump slammed the suspect's entry into the country, blaming Biden's misguided immigration policy.
This isn't the first time anti-Semitic incidents have spiked in the USA. Ever since Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups launched an assault on Israel on October 7, 2023, the number of such incidents has significantly increased. The ensuing Gaza war between Israel and Hamas has left over 54,000 Palestinians in Gaza dead, according to figures from a Hamas-controlled health authority.
