On a Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, a pro-Israel rally named “Run for Their Lives” unfolded near the county courthouse, its participants united in a call to free hostages held by Hamas. The gathering, marked by solemn determination, included an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor among its ranks. Suddenly, chaos erupted. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national illegally residing in the U.S., unleashed a horrific attack, hurling Molotov cocktails and wielding a makeshift flamethrower. Twelve people were injured, their screams piercing the air as Soliman shouted “Free Palestine” and “End Zionists.” This was no spontaneous outburst; the FBI later revealed he had planned the assault for a year, driven by a seething hatred for “Zionists.” Weeks earlier, in Washington, D.C., another tragedy struck: a Jewish couple, staffers at the Israeli Embassy, was brutally assassinated. These acts of violence are not isolated-they are chilling manifestations of what “globalize the intifada,” a slogan chanted from college campuses to city streets, truly means: a deliberate call to antisemitic bloodshed aimed at erasing Jewish presence.

This rising tide of antisemitic terror is fueled by a dangerous strain of leftist extremism that cloaks itself in the guise of social justice but thrives on unchecked vitriol. Across the U.S., from Boulder to Pennsylvania, where an arson attempt targeted Governor Josh Shapiro’s mansion, the rhetoric of “intifada” and anti-Zionism has metastasized into violence. Campus protests, once dismissed as youthful idealism, have morphed into breeding grounds for hate, with slogans glorifying Palestinian “resistance” normalizing attacks on Jews. The Boulder attack, targeting a rally for hostages, and the D.C. murders, striking at Israel’s representatives, reflect a pattern of aggression that draws directly from this toxic ideology. Yet, the response from the Democrat Party has been a deafening silence, punctuated by equivocation or outright avoidance. Prominent figures like Representatives Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have offered vague platitudes or sidestepped condemnation, leaving Jewish communities to fend for themselves. This reticence, at times, feels like complicity, as the party fails to confront the extremism festering within its ranks, prioritizing political optics over moral clarity.

Compounding this crisis is the role of legacy media, which has become a purveyor of blood libels and a dismisser of inconvenient truths. Outlets like CNN, AP, BBC, and Fox News rushed to amplify a false Hamas-sourced claim that Israeli forces massacred 31 civilians at a Gaza aid distribution site, only for surveillance footage to expose Hamas operatives as the perpetrators. Rather than retract or reflect, these outlets persisted in pushing narratives that vilify Israel, ignoring evidence to sustain a prejudiced storyline. In Boulder, when the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, swiftly labeled Soliman’s attack as targeted terrorism, CNN’s response was to question the designation. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and analyst Juliette Kayyem called it “premature” and “juvenile,” despite video evidence capturing Soliman’s anti-Zionist rants. This reluctance to acknowledge antisemitic motives mirrors a broader pattern: when a pride parade or minority group is attacked, media outlets are quick to label it a hate crime, but Jewish victims are met with hesitation or excuses. This double standard reeks of dhimmitude-a submissive acquiescence to narratives that sanitize or excuse anti-Jewish violence, leaving Jews as second-class victims in the public square.

The Boulder attack and the D.C. murders are not mere anomalies; they are symptoms of systemic failures that demand urgent action. Soliman, who entered the U.S. on a B1/B2 visa in August 2022, applied for asylum and overstayed his permit, yet was granted work authorization by the Biden administration until March 2025. This lapse, enabled by lax immigration policies, allowed a man with documented anti-Zionist hatred to remain and execute his attack. The Biden era’s open-border approach, coupled with judicial resistance to deportation efforts, has created vulnerabilities that terrorists exploit. The call to “globalize the intifada” is not an abstract slogan-it is a blueprint for violence now playing out on American soil, from Boulder’s courthouse to D.C.’s embassy row. The failure to scrutinize visas and secure borders has tangible consequences, measured in burned flesh and lost lives.

The time for complacency has passed. Securing the border is not a political talking point; it is a national security imperative. Visa policies must be reevaluated to prioritize cultural compatibility and screen out those who harbor ideologies hostile to American values. Soliman’s case is a stark warning: a single individual, radicalized and unchecked, can wreak havoc. But beyond policy, the fight against antisemitism requires a cultural reckoning. It demands a united, unapologetic stand-louder and more forceful than the hatred it opposes. Jewish communities cannot be left to face this terror alone. The Democrat Party must break its silence, unequivocally condemning antisemitic violence and rooting out the extremism it has allowed to fester. Media outlets must abandon their equivocations, retract their libels, and report facts without bias. Every act of violence must be called out, every lie exposed, and every excuse rejected.

The Boulder attack, with its elderly victims and shattered peace, and the D.C. murders, with their targeted brutality, are clarion calls. They reveal the true cost of “globalizing the intifada”: blood spilled, lives destroyed, and communities terrorized. The U.S. stands at a crossroads. Will it allow this hatred to spread, emboldened by silence and enabled by porous borders? Or will it rise, united, to overwhelm antisemitism with resolute opposition? The answer lies in action-securing borders, enforcing laws, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Jewish Americans. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s swift move to charge Soliman with federal hate crimes is a start, but it is not enough. The nation must rally, from policymakers to citizens, to ensure that no more rallies are firebombed, no more lives are stolen, and no more hatred is excused. The cost of inaction is measured in blood, and the time to act is now.
