BOULDER HORROR: Jewish Grandmother Burned in Firebomb Attack Shocks Community
— A shocking attack hit Boulder, Colorado, when Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, threw firebombs at a Jewish rally for Israeli hostages. He used Molotov cocktails and a homemade flamethrower while yelling “Free Palestine.” Eight people were hurt. One of them is a Holocaust survivor.
Police say Soliman planned the assault for nearly a year and picked his target because he called them “Zionists.” The FBI and local police are treating this as both terrorism and a hate crime. Federal charges will likely follow.
Colorado’s attorney general called it hate-fueled violence against peaceful people. Governor Jared Polis also said it was an act of terror.
This attack comes after other antisemitic crimes across the country. Jewish communities are now on high alert. Security has been stepped up at synagogues as police continue searching for more threats in Boulder.

UK Antisemitic ATTACK on Jewish Kids SPARKS Outrage
— Jewish children in the United Kingdom faced a shocking antisemitic attack recently. Two buses carrying students from a London Jewish school were targeted by about ten teens with large rocks. The attackers boarded the buses, swore at the students, and filmed them while making obscene gestures.
After leaving the buses, they hurled heavy rocks at them, causing panic among the young passengers. An 11-year-old student expressed confusion and fear about where the attackers got their rocks and what they intended to do with their videos. This incident highlights growing concerns about unchecked antisemitism in Europe.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism warns that such attacks are not isolated but part of a troubling trend of increasing Jew-hate across Western Europe. A spokesperson emphasized that British Jews feel less safe showing visible signs of their faith in public due to rising hostility.
Calls for arrests and legal consequences for perpetrators are growing louder as communities demand action to protect Jewish citizens and their children from further harm.
POLICE CHIEF’S Apology Sparks Outrage: Meeting with Jewish Leaders Set After Controversial Remark
— London’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Mark Rowley, is under fire after a contentious apology implied that being “openly Jewish” could provoke pro-Palestinian demonstrators. This statement has triggered widespread criticism and calls for Rowley’s resignation. He is scheduled to meet with Jewish community leaders and city officials to address the issue.
The backlash comes at a time of increased tension in London due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Pro-Palestinian marches have been common, featuring anti-Israel sentiments and support for Hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the UK government. The police are tasked with maintaining order during these events to ensure public safety.
In an attempt to repair ties, senior police officers have contacted the Jewish man referenced in their initial statement. They plan a personal meeting to apologize and discuss steps to improve security for Jewish residents in London. The police have reiterated their dedication to ensuring the safety of all Jewish Londoners amid ongoing concerns about their well-being in the city.
This meeting aims not only to address this particular incident but also serves as an opportunity for law enforcement leaders to reaffirm their commitment towards protecting diverse communities within London, emphasizing inclusivity and respect for all citizens regardless of background or belief system.
MET POLICE Spark Outrage: Officer’s Comment on Jewish Visibility Stirs Controversy
— A Metropolitan Police officer’s remark to a Jewish man about being “quite openly Jewish” has ignited widespread criticism. Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist described the comment as “hugely regrettable.” He also implied that Jews in central London might be inviting negative reactions by opposing anti-Israel protests.**
Twist observed a pattern where individuals record themselves at protest sites, suggesting they aim to provoke confrontations. This perspective has been slammed for seemingly blaming the victims instead of focusing on the provocations from the protesters. Critics believe this approach could further jeopardize Jewish residents by implying that their visibility is provocative.
**The public response was immediate and fierce, with many accusing the Metropolitan Police of insinuating that being visibly Jewish in central London is problematic. The police force’s management of this incident has provoked significant backlash across social media and from community leaders who are calling for accountability and clearer guidance from law enforcement officials.**

ANTI-ISRAEL Protests: The Truth About Jewish Sentiment in America
— Recently, anti-Israel groups staged an unauthorized protest in Hollywood, causing traffic disruption and demanding a Gaza ceasefire. This demand is not backed by any mainstream Jewish group. Organizations like “Jewish Voice for Peace” and “IfNotNow” have demonstrated their contentious views through actions such as honoring convicted Palestinian terrorists and failing to condemn Hamas terror.
On the other hand, last October saw thousands of Jews from various political backgrounds participate in a lawful, peaceful demonstration in Los Angeles. They marched and rallied to support Israel against terror. In a similar vein, nearly 300,000 Jews attended the largest pro-Israel rally ever held this week in Washington DC.
American sentiment mirrors these pro-Israel rallies. A recent poll revealed two-thirds agree with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance against a ceasefire until Hamas is completely defeated. This follows Hamas’s violation of the existing ceasefire agreement on October 7th that resulted in over 1200 Israeli civilian deaths.
In Israel itself, opposition to the war is minimal and primarily advocates for freeing hostages taken by Hamas rather than simply calling for a ceasefire. These demands hold Hamas accountable — something conspicuously absent from the LA protest.

UNPRECEDENTED Threats Against JEWISH Students at Tulane University: A Disturbing Wave of Anti-Semitism
— Tulane University, known for its significant Jewish student body, is now a focal point of tension and hostility. The recent Hamas intrusion into Israel has ignited a surge of anti-Semitic episodes on campus.
Pro-Palestinian graffiti has sprung up throughout the university, leading to violent confrontations between opposing groups. One such clash resulted in three arrests and left a Jewish student with severe facial injuries.
The once prevalent sense of security among Jewish students at Tulane seems to be dissipating. Other universities are also experiencing an uptick in hate crimes, causing students to fear for their safety as they traverse their campuses.
This alarming pattern extends beyond Tulane; similar events have been reported at Cornell, the University of Massachusetts, and Stanford. This increase in campus violence is undermining the sense of security necessary for open dialogue at these educational institutions.
