Political violence, most of it committed by leftists in recent years, has gotten so pervasive in this country that I am forced to make an admission: I saw this story and thought, “Wait, which deranged attack was that exactly?”
But of course, we can’t forget, and it should never become acceptable.
It happened in June of 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, when a 45-year-old Egyptian illegal alien antisemite threw Molotov cocktails and used a makeshift flamethrower to attack people who were participating in a walk for Run for Their Lives, a group advocating for the Hamas hostages. His attack injured 15 people — one of whom died a month later from her injuries.
Sick stuff. It could have been worse, though; much worse. He planned to kill as many as 20 people.
Now, he’s going to pay for his crimes:
The Boulder firebombing attack defendant pleaded guilty to state charges, including first-degree murder, in court on Thursday morning. Mohamed Soliman admitted to attacking a group on the Pearl Street Mall in June 2025 during a demonstration in support of Israeli captives held by Hamas. According to prosecutors, Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at the group, killing one person and injuring more than a dozen others.

Knowing that Soliman will remain behind bars is gratifying, but it won’t bring back Karen Diamond:

JCRC Bay Area is heartbroken to learn that Karen Diamond, a victim of the antisemitic firebombing in Boulder, has died after succumbing to her severe injuries. She was attacked for being Jewish - for standing up peacefully on behalf of the hostages held by Hamas who do not have a voice.
This tragic loss is a painful reminder of the escalating threats and violence targeting Jewish communities across North America. We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and community affected by this devastating news. May her memory be a blessing.
Soliman faces a long journey of staring at concrete walls:
Soliman had been charged with more than 100 state criminal charges in connection with the deadly attack. Based on Thursday's guilty plea, the Boulder County District Court was required to impose a prison sentence of life without parole and at least 400 years. The sentencing would be immediate, as both the prosecution and the defence had previously agreed.
You might think, if there’s anybody who deserves the death penalty, it’s this killer — and federal prosecutors agree. They’re reportedly considering the ultimate option in their 12-count hate crime case. The trial date for those proceedings has yet to be scheduled. Stay tuned.
