Colorado Terrorist Injures Eight In Boulder Attack

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a Palestinian activist originally from Egypt, carried out a Molotov cocktail attack on a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, injuring eight people. Soliman, who entered the U.S. on a visa in 2022 and later became an illegal immigrant, admitted to planning the attack for over a year and expressed explicit anti-Zionist motives. This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the "Free Palestine" slogan, which has been linked to both domestic and international terrorism, and underscores the fraught relationship between far-left activists and Islamic jihadists. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned the attack and called for standing up against antisemitism, though he faced criticism for his perceived weak stance on related issues. Local Jewish leaders and organizations have voiced concern over the rise in antisemitism following the October 2023 attacks in Israel. The attack has also reignited debates over U.S. immigration policies and enforcement, with critics blaming lax controls for enabling such acts of violence.
