Students of ancient history may recall the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family at the governor’s mansion this past April. The following month we saw the anti-Semitic murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim at Washington’s Capital Jewish Museum.
Yesterday brought us an attack on Jews supporting the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in downtown Boulder. The perpetrator of the Boulder attack used an improvised flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to inflict injuries on some eight victims, ages 52 to 88. A Holocaust survivor is reportedly among the victims. The New York Post covers the facts known at present.
The perpetrator was shouting “Free Palestine” and filmed in the act. His name is Mohamed Sabry Soliman. He is a 45-year-old Egyptian national who overstayed his visa and remained illegally in the United States. After the expiration of his visa, according to the Post, Soliman was “cleared for work authorization by US Citizenship and Immigration Services on March 29, 2023, which expired this March, according to the outlet.”
The Biden Admin granted the alien a visa and then, when he illegally overstayed, they gave him a work permit.
Immigration security is national security.
No more hostile migration. Keep them out and send them back. https://t.co/nbEmTPfCrE

We are suffocating in the lies and cliches of the Hamas supporters who have emerged in the United States since October 8. Mohamed appears to be too old for a student visa to pursue studies at the University of Colorado, but he would have fit right in with the crowd on campus. What was he doing in the United States to begin with?
After the Capital Jewish Museum murders I quoted Will Sussman:
This didn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s the inevitable result of more than a year of anti-Israel and antisemitic hatred that has been tolerated and even encouraged in our institutions. From college campuses to the halls of Congress, this hatred has been allowed to fester unchecked.
To[day]’ tragedy will [should?] be a wake-up call for many. But for those of us who have been watching closely, the alarm bells have been ringing since October 7. This is what it means to “globalize the intifada.”
Sussman’s comment remains on point.
