Boulder County Courthouse lit blue for Jewish victims, against antisemitism
DENVER (KDVR) — The building overlooking the site where an Egyptian man threw Molotov cocktails on demonstrators seeking the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza was lit up Wednesday night to honor the victims and take a stand against antisemitism.
The Boulder County Courthouse was illuminated as a show of solidarity with the 15 victims of a firebombing attack that has been called both an act of terror and a hate crime. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is accused of throwing the homemade Molotov cocktails on the peaceful demonstrators with Run For Their Lives.

'With support from the City of Boulder and the Boulder community at large, we know as a Jewish community that there are those who will stand up and walk beside us,' said Sen. Michaelson Jenet in a release announcing the symbolic gesture.
The display was made possible through a collaboration between the Israeli-American Council Colorado, State Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet and the city and county of Boulder.
'This is a powerful statement of unity and stand against antisemitism in response to the horrific terror attack in Boulder,' said IAC Colorado Regional Director Eldad Malka in a release.
The building, located at 1325 Pearl Street, was recently made a National Historic Landmark and was illuminated from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday night.
