American politicians, Jewish groups condemn “terror” Boulder terrorist attacks: “evil, anti-Semitic terrorist acts”
U.S. lawmakers, Trump administration officials and Jewish groups are those who condemn the terrorist attacks that were injured in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, calling it “terrible attacks” and “evil anti-Semitism.”
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene after being allegedly attacked by arson because they rallied peacefully on behalf of the Israeli hostages still in Gaza. During the attack, Soliman yelled “Free Palestine” and other criticisms of Israel.
Authorities said Egyptian national Soliman authorized entry into the United States in 2022, but his visa has since expired. Local and federal law enforcement continues to investigate the attack.
“My thoughts and prayers are for those who are hurt by this heinous act,” Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis said in a statement. “Boulder is strong. Together we overcome the tragedy and will overcome it together as a community.”

“With the Jewish community in recent anti-Semitic murders in Washington, D.C., which is incredible, the community faces another anti-Semitic attack in Boulder on the eve of the Shawaite holiday,” he continued. “Several people were brutally attacked while peacefully drawing attention to the plight of Hamas terrorists holding 604 days of hostages. In our Colorado, hatred is unacceptable to all, and I condemn this terrorist act. The suspects should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.”
The governor said he is working closely with local and federal law enforcement after Sunday's attack. Colorado Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser, also Jewish, said the attack seemed to be a motive for hatred.
Colorado Democrats Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper both slammed the attack to show hatred for the Jewish community.
“My idea is to be with the victims of the terrorist attacks that took place in Boulder this afternoon,” Bennett said. “Hate and violence of any kind will not be tolerated in Colorado.”
“Hate has no home in Colorado,” Hickenlubo wrote. “We are monitoring reports of terrorist attacks in Boulder this afternoon. Our idea is related to the victims and their loved ones.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Jewish leader, described the attack as “evil, anti-Semitism terror” and stressed that anti-Semitism has no status in the United States. ”
“Less than two weeks after the terrifying anti-Semitic attacks at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., and after two years of ruthless attacks across the country, the Jewish community was once again distraught with pain and heartbreak,” Schumer said in a statement. “Tonight, a peaceful demonstration targeted a kind of evil, anti-Semitic terror. Once again, the Jews were freed from repeated acts of violence and terror.”

He continued: “When anti-Semitism is allowed to fester, when it spreads without restrictions, when too many looks are seen in other ways, history shows us where it leads: hatred, violence, horror.” “Tonight is Shavuot – a sacred study holiday, renewal and unity. Thousands of Jews in the world will awaken this terrible news, just like they did after October 7. For many, this has been over 600 days, and fear and trauma has been over 600 days.”
Schumer added: “Anti-Semitism, simple and simple, has no status in the United States. I am praying for the recovery of my victims and keeping in touch with the FBI as we closely monitor the situation.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.
“Terrorist sympathizers have made it clear that they will do everything they can to silence the Jews and those who support Israel,” Johnson wrote. “We can't and won't let them win.”

“As the residents of Boulder gathered on the eve of Shavot's holiday to raise awareness of the hostages still captured in Gaza, the peace of their assembly collapsed,” he said. “Our heartfelt prayer is the prayer of all our Jewish siblings affected by this incredible act of terror, and we thank the law enforcement for the quick response. Anti-Semitism has no place in our country or anywhere in the world. It must be overwhelmed. We both stand up today and the Jewish community.”

“In our country, a man has violently attacked a group of peaceful people in Boulder, Colorado, calling for the release of hostages in Gaza since the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack, calling for the release of hostages,” the Democratic mayor said. “While we have not seen the connection to New York City at this time, the New York Police Department is adding resources throughout the city before the Holy Holiday in Hawaii. We will not rest until we take root of this unacceptable violence and unacceptable violence and rhetoric towards the community.”

“I'm not suggesting that the answer is censorship, but we have to understand the hateful words that demonize Jews that prompt people to act violently and murder,” Carl said to Fox News numbers. “We saw this over and over again, and today happened, happened a few days ago, and if we didn't stop, it would happen again. It's definitely anger, we have people who are poisoned by vicious ideology.”
