CNN 's 'black sheep' Scott Jennings came out firing against the 'Free Palestine ' movement, calling it a 'domestic terror organization' after the flamethrower attack on peaceful pro-Israel protesters in Colorado.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, has been charged with first-degree murder and assault over the fiery attack. Soliman, in his confession, said he wanted to 'kill all Zionists'.
Soliman injured himself and 12 others - all between the ages of 52 and 88 - in the attack, including one critically.
Jennings, often considered a conservative voice of reason and the liberal leaning network's 'black sheep,' blasted the entire anti-Israel movement on Tuesday and called for the government to 'deal with' them.
He asked Jake Tapper: 'This is horrific, and what more do we need to see, Jake, before we realize this Free Palestine movement is nothing more than a domestic terror organization right now?'
Jennings painted the Colorado attack and the killing of a couple in Washington as part of a disturbing, violent trend among those who sympathize with Palestine egged on by the 'months and months and months' of protests on college campuses.
'The rise of anti-Semitism in America, the rise in the number of people who have come to America who hold anti-American views, anti-Western views, and anti-Semitic views, and are now willing to act on it, it is absolutely outrageous, and I think as a society we need to understand we're dealing with domestic terrorism,' he said.
He warned that Washington has to 'deal with' this or its only going to increase in its violence.
'It's growing more violent by the day, and if we don't deal with it, these kinds of things are gonna keep happening in cities all over the place,' he said.
'It's awful, and we need to come to grips with the fight that we're in right now in America, fight for the future of our country, and the future of Western civilization, in my opinion.'
Soliman told investigators he left messages for his family on his iPhone 14, which his wife handed over to the Colorado Springs Police Department shortly after his arrest, according to a federal affidavit.
Investigators also recovered a journal from his home in which he planned out the horrific attack.
Four additional victims have been identified in the Boulder attack, which Soliman planned the attack for more than a year and specifically targeted what he described as a Zionist group.
President Donald Trump has vowed that Soliman will be 'prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law' - while also blaming Joe Biden 's 'ridiculous open border' immigration policies for contributing to the attack.
The Justice Department - which leads investigations into acts of violence driven by religious, racial or ethnic motivations - called the attack a 'needless act of violence' and charged Soliman with a federal hate crime Monday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security has since confirmed Solomon arrived in the US in August 2022 on a B2 Visa before overstaying by more than two years.

Shortly after the indecent at Pearl Street Mall at around 1:26pm MDT on Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed it was 'targeted' and meant to inspire terror.
As footage circulated of the middle aged suspect hurling Molotov cocktails, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino branded it 'an act of terror and targeted violence'.
Soliman - who feds on Sunday said unsuccessfully applied for asylum in September 2022 - was heard on video saying 'Palestine is Free,' MSNBC later reported.
The crowd he attacked was convened an event organized by Run For Their Live in honor of the remaining Israeli hostages.
He lived illegally in El Paso county, Texas, and appeared to taunt the victims in footage of the attack.
Wearing only jeans and sunglasses, he was heard yelling: 'End Zionists... they are terrorists' and 'free Palestine'.
Shortly after Winter's broadcast Sunday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Soliman is an 'illegal alien' who arrived in the US on a visa issued by the Biden administration.
When he illegally overstayed that visa, he was given a second chance and issued a new work permit, feds said.
He was authorized to stay until February 2, 2023, but never left.
