Brutal anti -Semitism in Colorado: Family of the attacker arrested!

On Sunday, June 3, 2025, a violent incident occurred in Boulder, Colorado, in whom a man who was identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman threw homemade Molotov cocktails on a group of Jewish demonstrators. The demonstrators called for the release of Israeli hostages that are recorded in the Gaza Strip. The attack led to twelve injuries, with at least one of those affected in mortal danger. Welt reports that Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian, lives illegally in the USA after requesting asylum in September 2022. The act was a clear expression of anti -Semitism, which classified the Ministry of Justice as an "anti -Semitic terrorist attack".

Soliman, who is confessed and apparently does not show any remorse, had planned the attack for over a year. The accused originally wanted to kill all 20 participants in the rally, but was nervous and only threw two of the 18 prepared Molotow cocktails. During the attack, he is said to have expressed the exclamation "Free Palestine", which also underlines the political motivation behind his act. He now expects accusations for attempted murder and hate crimes that could bring him a lifelong prison sentence.

political reactions and social context

President Donald Trump described the attack as a "terrorist act" and blamed Joe Biden for the suspect's entry. This shows how strongly the case is political waves and what responsibility the current administration is supported for immigration policy. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio threatened with deportations for terrorists and their relatives, which illustrates the severity of the situation. 20min also reported that the suspect's family, including his wife and five children, was arrested by the US immigration authorities.

chuck Schumer, the minority leader of the Democrats in the US Senate, pointed out that one of the victims was a Holocaust survivor. He also criticized the collective assignment of Jews for the conflicts in the Middle East as anti -Semitic. This underlines the deep cracks and tensions that exist not only in society, but also within the political landscape of the United States.

The increase in anti -Semitism in the USA

The incidents in Boulder are part of a worrying development of anti -Semitism in the United States. Anti -Semitic attacks have risen drastically in recent years. According to the anti-defamation League (ADL there were 3,679 anti-Semitic incidents in 2022, the highest number since the beginning of the surveys in 1979. Federal Center for Political Education raises that over 80% of the US Jews have been able to experience an increase in anti-Semitism in the past five years. led.

Radicalization on the Internet, closely linked to right ideas and conspiracy theories, has contributed to the increase in anti -Semitic violence. This is not the first time that Jews in the USA are the target of agitation and violence. Similar incidents, such as the fatal attacks on a synagogue in Pittsburgh 2018 or the attack on a Koscher supermarket 2019, show that this problem cannot be ignored. The latest incident in Colorado is another expression of this worrying development in US society.
