Boulder Attack: Man Charged with Life Sentence for Setting Pro-Israel Marchers on Fire

Boulder Hate Crime: Man Charged with Setting Fire to Pro-Israel Marchers On June 3rd, 2025, a significant incident unfolded in Boulder, Colorado, where 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly attacked pro-Israel marchers with firebombs and a makeshift flamethrower. This act of violence has sent shockwaves through the community and sparked outrage nationwide. Federal authorities swiftly charged Soliman with a hate crime, citing the targeting of Jewish individuals. Acting U.S. Attorney J. Bishop Grewell stated, "When that offense includes attempted murder, the statutory maximum federal sentence is life in prison." This underscores the severity of the crime and the determination of authorities to bring Soliman to justice. State authorities added multiple counts of first-degree attempted murder and charges related to the use of an incendiary device. The attack left several marchers injured, highlighting the potential for far greater tragedy. The video shows the aftermath of the attack, with police securing the scene and tending to the injured. The emotional contrast between the peaceful nature of the march and the violent attack is stark. Soliman's statements to investigators, as detailed in an FBI affidavit, reveal a disturbing intent. He expressed a desire to "kill all Zionist people" and wished for their deaths. This chilling confession paints a picture of premeditated hatred and violence. The discovery of sixteen unused Molotov cocktails further emphasizes the scale of the planned attack. A judge set Soliman's bail at $10 million, reflecting the seriousness of the charges. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in combating hate crimes and ensuring the safety and security of all communities.
