Molotov Attack Targets Pro-Israel March in Boulder
On June 1, 2025, a pro-Israel peace march in Boulder, Colorado erupted into chaos when a man identified as Mohamad Soliman launched a Molotov cocktail attack on participants. The victims—many of them elderly—were walking as part of the weekly “Run For Their Lives” campaign, which calls for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
The attack took place in broad daylight on the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall, just steps away from restaurants and shops filled with families.
1️⃣ What Happened?
🔹 At 1:26 PM local time, Soliman—described as a man in his 50s who reportedly identified as Palestinian—threw multiple Molotov cocktails at the peaceful demonstrators. According to eyewitnesses, he also used gasoline from gardening tools to light people on fire.
🔹 Video evidence shows the attacker screaming “End Zionists” and “Palestine is free” during the rampage.
🔹 At least six people were severely burned, including children and elderly individuals over the age of 70. The suspect was taken into custody at the scene.
2️⃣ Federal Response
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino responded swiftly, classifying the incident as a “targeted terror attack” and an “act of ideologically motivated violence.” The FBI deployed full resources to the scene, warning anyone who may have assisted the attacker: “You cannot hide. We will find you.”
Law enforcement evacuated a three-block radius. Bomb squads and K9 units swept the area as a vehicle of interest was investigated. A “massive emergency response” prevented what could have easily turned into mass murder.
3️⃣ Political and Public Reactions
Colorado Governor Jared Polis called it a “heinous act of terror.” Senator Marco Rubio stated, “Terror has no place in our great country.” Others emphasized that violence targeting Jews has now become common—whether in Gaza, New York, or Boulder.
The attack also ignited fierce debate online. Some users accused pro-Palestinian agitators of enabling violence, while others blamed weak border security and political double standards. The FBI was slammed by critics for “always reacting, never preventing.”
4️⃣ Still No Fatalities… For Now
As of now, there have been no confirmed deaths—but several victims are reportedly in life-threatening condition. Given the nature of the burns and the elderly age of some victims, that status could change. It’s still early.
The suspect, Soliman, reportedly shouted slogans aligning him with the Palestinian cause—raising questions about possible radicalization and online coordination. The FBI has not ruled out the possibility of accomplices.
📌 Bottom Line
This was a terror attack in the heart of a liberal American city, carried out in the open with firebombs. The targets? Jews. Peacefully marching for hostages.
Whether motivated by ideology, antisemitism, or something darker, the result is the same: violence on American soil against civilians for simply being Jewish.
This is the new normal unless leaders act decisively to shut it down.
