How Evil Are They? Student Group Celebrates Terrorist Who Burned Woman Alive in Colorado

In my last post, I pointed to the narrative framing that fosters hatred for Jews and Israel; in this, I want to point to just how deranged the American anti-Israel left has become. 

You may or may not recall the Pearl Street Firebombing in Boulder, Colorado, that happened a year ago. A pro-Hamas terrorist threw Molotov Cocktails and used a flamethrower to kill as many Jews as possible at a weekly gathering in support of Israel. He killed one 82-year-old woman and injured 13 others. 

It came and went in the news. After all, it didn’t fit The Narrative™. 

Still, the people of Boulder couldn’t ignore it, of course. It’s a gorgeous, peaceful, and modest-sized university community, and crazed Egyptian illegal alien terrorists are still a rarity, and burning people to death is a pretty gruesome thing to happen on your streets. 

The attack was well planned, well-executed, and the terrorist expressed no regrets. He pled guilty to all the state charges and is sentenced to life in prison, and still faces a federal hate crime charge, for obvious reasons. The Trump administration tried to deport his family, but of course, the activists swung into action, and convinced a judge to stop it. 

Go figure. 

The man who committed this atrocity made no bones about his motive: he said he wanted to kill all Zionist people. He is a true, radical Islamist terrorist.

Just the kind of guy who Students for Justice in Palestine LOVES LOVES LOVES. And they are quite open about saying so in no uncertain terms. 

A pro-Palestinian student group at the University of Colorado Boulder justified the Pearl Street firebombing Monday and called for the man who pleaded guilty to murdering an 82-year-old woman and burning 13 others in the antisemitic terror attack to be freed.

The group, Boulder Students for Justice in Palestine, said it honors the “man who sacrificed his comfort and his proximity to empire, willingly expending his own liberty in attaining his objective,” according to a page on the group’s website that has since been removed from the homepage. CU Boulder denounced Boulder SJP’s statement and reiterated that the university doesn’t recognize the group as an official student organization.

The group said the prosecution of Mohamed Soliman mimics the tactics used against Arabs and Muslims across the United States in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. Boulder SJP also called the firebombing “a case of chickens coming home to roost” in the post dated exactly one year after the June 1 terror attack left Boulder’s Jewish community reeling.

SJP is a recognized organization that gets student fees at some colleges and universities, and it has been banned at others. The University of Colorado in Boulder is one of those, and the Regents, rightfully, condemned the statement and the group. 

Not so much for the pro-Hamas left, which includes SJP in its coalition. 

Usually, when the media covers anti-Israel activists, they gloss over the fact that they are a bunch of commie/Islamist revolutionaries. They aren’t activists; they are pro-terror groups. 

As with Antifa, when they get coverage, they also get cover. When the federal government successfully prosecuted the Antifa terrorists in Texas who shot at and hit one police officer in an anti-ICE attack, most of the media called them “protesters,” not terrorists, as if they were holding signs, not using guns to kill people. 

Same with SJP and their allies, who support terrorism. 

“The state would have us believe that Mohamed took the action he did because he is insane — a fanatic, a terrorist, guilty of a hate crime — but we know the truth and we reject the state’s inversion of it,” the group’s site reads. “Mohamed chose the only sane response available to a rational human being confronted with the normalization of genocide.”

The group called for Soliman’s release and called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, citing the immigration turmoil Soliman’s family faced for months after the firebombing attack.

This is how they think. This is who they are. Not “activists.” They are violent revolutionaries. They should be called that. 

You can’t fight what you can’t name. When evil walks the world, we must reject it. When a man firebombs innocent people with the intent to kill as many as possible, that is evil. When people rally around him and call him a hero, they are evil, too. 

And, lest you forget, the DSA and Zohran Mamdani have longstanding ties to SJP. This is who they are.
