Jewish House lawmaker urges deportation of Boulder terror suspect's family
EXCLUSIVE: One of four Jewish Republicans serving in the House of Representatives is calling for the federal government to deport the alleged illegal immigrant accused of setting Jewish people on fire in Colorado on Sunday. Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., called for both the alleged perpetrator and his family to be kicked out of the United States in an interview with Fox News Digital Monday. "I'm very angry, if you can't tell. Many of us have been talking about this stuff for years," Fine said sternly. "Maybe next time somebody says, 'Globalize the Intifada, resistance by any means necessary,' maybe people will take it seriously." A man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly threw Molotov cocktails and used a "makeshift flamethrower" to set peaceful Jewish activists on fire Sunday, according to officials. He allegedly yelled, "Free Palestine," while committing the attack. Suspect In Boulder Terror Attack Determined To Be Egyptian Man In Us Illegally: Fbi "The entire Palestinian cause is a lie… The entire justification of the cause is to eradicate Israel and to exterminate Jews," Fine said. Read On The Fox News App "Find me a single person who yells, 'Fee Palestine,' who says they're OK with Israel existing. You won't find them. Find someone who says, 'Globalize the intifada,' who thinks Israel should exist. This is a philosophy built on evil. And this is what happens when we don't do anything about it." Fine told Fox News Digital that House Republicans' massive tax and spending reconciliation bill – President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" – would give the White House resources to help mitigate such risks. "President Trump needs the resources to round up and deport every single illegal immigrant, everyone – number one, starting with the family of Mohamed, who's sitting at home illegally in Colorado right now." The immigration status of Soliman's relatives – and whether he has family in the U.S. – is not immediately clear. But the Department of Homeland Security said Monday morning that the suspect was in the U.S. illegally. Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin wrote on X, "He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022." It comes after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources told Fox News that Soliman is an Egyptian immigrant who overstayed a visa but then was given a work permit during the Biden administration. Eight people aged 52 to 88 were injured in the attack, including a Holocaust survivor. No fatalities have been reported so far. The activists were marching in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Soliman has been hit with multiple charges, including murder in the first degree. "Jews were burned alive in the United States in 2025. We got burned 80 years ago, and we said, 'Never again.' And I'll be damned if I let this continue," Fine said. Us Politicians, Jewish Groups Condemn 'Horrifying' Boulder Terror Attack He also called on Congress to pass his recent legislation that would make religion a protected class on college campuses, and for the U.S. to "cut off" Qatar's financial influence in the U.S. Asked how he would accomplish that, Fine pointed out he had previously been given the nickname, "Hebrew Hammer." "I didn't come up with it, but they gave it to me for a reason," Fine said.

‘Heartbroken and angry': Sharri Markson reacts to anti-Israeli terror attack in Colorado
Sky News host Sharri Markson the devastating terror attack on a rally to free Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado. 'It's true that the terror attacks, the violence, even the murder of Jews in America and other Western countries, are being excused by left-wing activists,' 'This is the reality of globalising the Intifada. We're seeing violence against Jews excused. The world, I am sorry to say, is in a dark place right now. 'The left can't pretend this is different, they can't turn violence into justifiable acts on account of it being anti-Zionism ... this is antisemitism and we can't let them get away with it.'

Israeli diplomat warns radicalism is an American problem after deadly DC shooting
Deputy Consul General of Israel in New York, Tsach Saar, is sending a warning to America after the deadly shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers in D.C.: Radicalism isn't just a problem for Israelis and Jews — it's a problem for all Americans. "It's not an Israeli problem and not a Jewish problem, it's an American problem. These people who incite, who call for violence, who use antisemitic rhetoric, at the end of the day, they are shaking the pillars of American democracy," Saar told Fox News Digital. The diplomat also spoke about the phrase "globalize the Intifada," a slogan that has become more common at anti-Israel demonstrations. Saar says the phrase refers to those seeking to export violence beyond the Middle East to places like America, making the D.C. shooting much more than a local tragedy. "Intifada is a direct call for violence against Jews. So, we have violence on American soil, we have division in American society. It weakens the American democracy and that puts it very, very high on the agenda for Americans themselves. And I have to tell you, people that I speak with, they know exactly what I'm talking about and they understand how severe the problem is. And now it's time for action," he said. Elias Rodriguez, the suspect in the fatal shooting of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky outside the Capital Jewish Museum, was heard chanting "free, free Palestine" during his arrest. This prompted renewed discussions about the rhetoric used in anti-Israel demonstrations in the wake of the Oct. 7 massacre and resulting war in Gaza. College campuses, which became hotspots for anti-Israel agitators after Oct. 7, have heard this kind of rhetoric, with one of the epicenters being Columbia University in New York. Saar told Fox News Digital that it's clear that not just Jewish and Israeli students, but also those who express pro-Israel views feel "unsafe" on campuses across the country. While Saar acknowledged that America's First Amendment "is sacred," he warned that there is a difference between expressing one's viewpoint and inciting violence. Even as Jews and Israelis feel unsafe, Saar does not think the answer is to hide who they are, but rather to unite and "resist by all legal means" those who use lies and hateful rhetoric to incite violence. "The answer is not hiding our stars [of David], we should be proud of who we are," Saar said. He added that he had seen individuals on social media expressing support for the murders of Milgrim and Lischinsky. Antisemitism has been on the rise in the U.S. since Hamas carried out its attacks against Israel in October 2023. In April, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released its annual audit on antisemitism in which it identified 9,354 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. during 2024, marking a 5% increase from 2023. This was the fourth year in a row that the organization noted a record-breaking number of antisemitic incidents across the country.

Globalizing Naziism
It takes severe depravity, not to mention sheer stupidity, to believe that shooting an unarmed couple in the back as they stand at a crosswalk is somehow going to "Free Palestine," which is what the cowardly killer yelled into the Washington night as he was led away by police. If they didnt realize it before, Americans have now learned precisely what kind of demons are being summoned up when pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses chant "Globalize the Intifada." No one in Israel needed to be told. Theyve known for a long time. The "Second Intifada" was burned into Jewish memory at the dawn of the 21st century by a series of gruesome attacks known in Israel by their place-names: the Dolphinarium discothèque in Tel Aviv, Sbarro Pizza and Café Moment in Jerusalem, Maxim Restaurant in Haifa, the Park Hotel in Netanya. The Dolphinarium was blown up on June 2, 2001, by a suicide bomber who took the lives of 21 young people - most of them Jewish teenage girls from Russia and Ukraine. Two months later, seven Palestinian terrorists with ties to Hamas carried out the bombing of the Sbarro pizza parlor. Sixteen people were killed, including three Americans and a pregnant woman. Half the victims were children. One of the Americans, a mother named Chana Nachenberg, spent 22 years in a coma before dying in 2023. Ahlam Tamimi, one of the masterminds of the crime, was released in a 2011 prisoner exchange. She lives freely in Jordan today and is unrepentant - saying in one television interview shed do it again. The deadliest single attack of the Intifada, known in Israel as the Passover Massacre, took place on March 27, 2002, at the Park Hotel along the Israeli coast. The killer disguised himself as a woman, and carrying a suitcase bomb entered the hotel dining room, where 250 civilians were celebrating Seder dinner. Thirty people, most of them elderly, were killed, and another five dozen wounded. Some of the victims were Holocaust survivors. Hamas leaders boasted about the Passover attack, while Israeli government spokesmanGideon Meir spoke for most Israelis when he said, "There is no limit to Palestinian barbarism." Apparently fearing what did, in fact, later ensue (a fierce IDF crackdown on the West Bank) even Palestinian Authority officials condemned the attack. By the time the second Intifada waned, more than 1,000 Israelis were dead, most of them civilians. Two of the terrorist attacks in particular foreshadowed the Wednesday evening murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim at the Capital Jewish Museum. The event featured humanitarian organizations that use interfaith dialogue in places like Gaza and Syria to alleviate civilian suffering. Café Maxim had a similar ethos. Co-owned by Jews and Christian Arabs, the Haifa restaurant was a tangible symbol of peaceful co-existence when a female suicide bomber - a lawyer from Jenin - destroyed the place two days before Yom Kippur in 2003. Jewish and Arab Israeli customers dined together in that place - and they bled and died there together, too. Twenty-one people perished, including three children and an infant. Among the dead were four Arab employees of the restaurant. On May 2, 2004, a Jewish social worker named Tali Hatuel who was eight months pregnant, was driving with her four daughters when she was ambushed by two Palestinian gunmen. After it was disabled, the killers walked up to her car and shot the four girls and their mother at close range. Islamic Palestinian groups praised the deed as "heroic." That was 22 years ago. But it was only last week that Tzeela Gez, an Israeli mother of three being driven to the hospital to give birth, was shot and killed in the West Bank, a murder lauded by Hamas as a "heroic act." Thats what the word "Intifada" signifies. What happened seven days later in Washington is whats meant by "globalizing the Intifada." Typically, segments of the legacy media struggled to find moral clarity, or even simple coherence, in Wednesdays awful news. was full of such examples, including one confusing passage from an NPR story that seemed to accept the Washington, D.C., killers logic. ("Many U.S. and Israeli officials identified the attacks as the latest in amarked rise of antisemitic incidentsin recent years - and more notably, as Israel ramps up its offensive in Gaza, where the risk of famine looms for a population ground down by a months-long blockade.") Bari Weiss, as usual, cut to the heart of the matter. Writing in The Free Press about the double murder outside an iconic Jewish landmark in the capital city, Weiss unspooled "the culture of lies that created the climate for his murderous rampage." She details many of them; Ill fill in others. The list of culprits is long. It starts with college presidents who accepted money from sketchy Arab autocrats who buy peace in their own country by fomenting bigotry and intellectual dishonesty in ours. Next are the faculty cadres who spread specious theories such as critical race theory aimed not just at the United States, but at Western culture in general. The apotheosis of this insanity is grafting the dubious "colonizer" label onto Israelis, who occupy a land inhabited by Jews 2,000 years before the advent of Islam. Democratic Party politicians whove repeated these toxic lies, or at least not objected to them out of fear of alienating the kookiest elements of their progressive base. On Friday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes issued a forceful denunciation of antisemitism. Yet last year she was supportive of the pro-Hamas demonstrators at Columbia. "At Columbia University they call for Intifada constantly," former Columbia student Jonathan Epstein explained on CNN. "Theyre not doing it quietly. Theyre loud … You can hear it. They make recordings of themselves." Liberals who repeat the spurious slander about "genocide" in Gaza - on behalf of a movement that openly calls for the destruction of Israel and murderous attacks on the Jewish diaspora around the world. Islamicists working for the U.N. who aided and abetted the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities. Useful idiots in the Western media who repeat Hamas propaganda uncritically, particularly the deliberately deceptive exaggerations about famine and wartime casualties. Performative posers who glamorized political violence by swooning over accused assassin Luigi Mangione. "Words matter," we are constantly told. Its true and its a lesson we learned anew this week. On Tuesday British diplomat Tom Fletcher, U.N. Undersecretary General of Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief, told the BBC that if food trucks didnt start rolling into Gaza, "14,000 babies would die in the next 48 hours." This was nonsense, as Fletcher knew. The report he cited actually claimed that 14,000 children under the age of six would be at risk for malnutrition in the coming 12 months if the situation remained static. The BBC didnt check Fletchers specious claims. Neither did the British prime minister, nor the hysteric members of the House of Commons who repeated them. His line was regurgitated ad nauseam by the U.S. news media and uncountable numbers of social media "influencers" around the globe. By Wednesday, the BBC and the U.N. had backed off this assertion. Perhaps its unrelated, but by then a man with a pistol and evil intent had boarded a plane from Chicago to Washington and bought a ticket to a humanitarian event attended by Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim.

Murdered
Sarah Milgrim was 26. Yaron Lischinsky was 30. They were about to get engaged. They were murdered in Washington DC by Elias Rodriguez, a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (a far-left, Marxist, pro-Palestine group) and Black Lives Matters activist. After he murdered them he shouted 'There's only one solution, Intifada revolution,' So immensely sad.
