COLORADO: Jews Set on Fire by Muslim Illegal Alien Moments Ago In Boulder — Pray on Shavuous!
By Beverly Newman, Ed. D.
The incident comes roughly 10 days after a 31-year-old man was arrested for shooting and killing two Israeli diplomats outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
On Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, a man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, attacked a crowd at a memorial for Israeli hostages by throwing incendiary devices while shouting “Free Palestine.” He used a makeshift flamethrower, injuring six people aged 67 to 88, some seriously. Eyewitnesses described chaos, with victims suffering burns and bystanders scrambling to help. The event, organized by the group ‘Run For Their Lives’ to call for hostage releases in Gaza, was disrupted as Soliman also yelled slogans like “End Zionists” and “They are killers.” Authorities evacuated nearby blocks and deployed K-9 units during the response. The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating, with no charges announced yet, though officials pledged full accountability. Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the act, calling it unacceptable hate-fueled violence. The incident comes amid a broader surge in antisemitic attacks in the U.S., including a recent fatal shooting of Israeli embassy staff.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is a 45-year-old Egyptian national, he remains in the United States illegally after overstaying his visa. He landed in U.S. on August 27, 2022 with a non-immigrant visa and was allowed to stay until February 2, 2023, but allegedly never left. The eyewitnesses have claimed that Soliman was yelling ‘Free Palestine’ while attacking the victims.

An anonymous Denver man on X, formerly Twitter, posted what appear to be videos from the scene that show a shirtless man in sunglasses holding two carafes of liquid yelling at participants at the event while at least one woman is collapsed on the ground nearby.
The user said that the man was lighting people on fire with gasoline from a gardening tool and throwing Molotov cocktails while shouting, “You f— Zionists kill my people so I kill you!”
“One elderly woman was so severely burned that her hair was charred and she wasn’t moving while others cared for her,” the user, whose account is called BHflyer5, wrote. “Others were sitting/lying down in shock, some with their pants burned off, skin melted up their legs with their skin even split open and bleeding in some areas.”
Tonight, as the Holy Days of Shavuot begin, the people of this nation should remember how the law given on Mount Sinai has been disregarded for years. The criminal laws protecting American Jews have likewise been unenforced for years.
PRAY AND SPEAK OUT FOR FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND PROTECTION OF JEWS BY ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS PASSED TO SAFEGUARD JEWS.
Several hospitalized with burns after man attacks pro-Israel gathering in Colorado
A man attacked and burned six people with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower during a rally in Boulder, Colorado, calling for the release of hostages in Gaza in what the FBI called “a targeted terror attack.”
A crowd associated with Run for Their Lives, a weekly vigil calling for the release of captives still held by Hamas, was gathered near the courthouse in downtown Boulder around 1:30 p.m. Sunday when police began receiving reports that “there was a man with a weapon and people were being set on fire,” Boulder Police Chief Steven Redfearn said during an evening press conference.
“When we arrived, we encountered multiple victims injured with injuries consistent with burns,” Redfearn said. He added that at least one of the injuries may be life-threatening. The victims ranged in age from 67 to 88, according to Mark Michalek, director of the FBI’s Denver field office.
Michalek said at a press briefing Sunday night that police had arrested Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who was pointed out to law enforcement officers by witnesses.
Brandon Rattiner, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council in Denver, said that the reaction among local Jews was “sadness and disappointment.”
But he said it was not entirely shocking. Boulder has been a hot spot of protests against Israel, some of which have taken an alarmingly aggressive posture. Rattiner said he attended a previous Run for Their Lives event in Boulder, which usually draw 10 to 20 people, where a protester heckled the crowd with a sign that said “Arm Hamas.”
“It’s not surprising that Boulder would be the community where this sort of thing takes place,” he said in a phone interview.
