House GOP unveils resolution to condemn Boulder terror attack, call for mass deportation of overstayed visas
FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans are unveiling a new resolution to condemn the Boulder, Colorado, terror attack against a pro-Israel demonstration over the weekend. The resolution would call for the deportation of people who overstay their visas in the U.S., as was allegedly the case with the attacker. The legislation is being led by Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who is Jewish, and Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, chair of the 189-member-strong Republican Study Committee. A man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly threw Molotov cocktails and used a "makeshift flamethrower" to set peaceful pro-Israel activists on fire Sunday, according to officials. He allegedly yelled, "Free Palestine," while committing the attack. Officials have since said Soliman was in the U.S. illegally at the time of the attack. The Trump administration said he and his family will now be deported. "This is not an issue that just affects me as a congressman. It affects me as a father of two Jewish boys who now have to ask themselves if they're safe in their own country," Fine told Fox News Digital. "I'm going to lead this resolution, but this is the last thing in Congress I do that is going to be just talking. After this, it's going to be all action." Pfluger told Fox News Digital, "The antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder that targeted 12 innocent Americans, including a Holocaust survivor, could have been prevented if Mohamed Sabry Soliman hadn't been allowed to illegally overstay his visa by the Biden administration." The Texas Republican warned of a "pattern" of violence against Jews in the U.S., citing the recent attack as well as the deadly shooting outside a Jewish museum in Washington and the attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's home. Their bill text noted there was a Holocaust survivor among those who were hurt in the attack. It also said the attack "comes amidst an alarming rise in antisemitic violence sweeping the United States." The resolution would condemn the Boulder attack and also "condemns antisemitism in all its forms, and expresses grave concern about the rise in antisemitic behavior and actions reported across college campuses, online, and in other public spaces." On people like Soliman, the resolution "urges Congress to take immediate action to secure the border and deport migrants who overstay their visas." While the aforementioned provision will likely turn off some Democrats, the measure could get bipartisan support if it hits the House floor. Both Republicans and Democrats condemned the heinous attack over the weekend. Soliman has been hit with multiple charges, including murder in the first degree, though no fatalities have been announced by police.

Disgusted Tucker Carlson turns on Republican party after congressman calls for Gaza to be 'nuked'
Tucker Carlson said he's not sure he can support the Republican party after a Florida congressman called for Gaza to be nuked. Congressman Randy Fine, who was recently elected to replace Mike Waltz in Florida as the preferred candidate of President Trump, made the jaw dropping comments in a Fox News interview last month. He said: 'In World War 2 we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. 'We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here in Gaza. 'There is something deeply wrong with its culture and it needs to be defeated.' The extraordinary comments sparked widespread outrage and prompted a response from Hamas itself - the terror cell and de facto government in Gaza. Carlson, speaking on his podcast alongside Glenn Greenwald, said he was so taken aback by the comments that he initially thought they couldn't have been made by a real politician. 'I text a friend of mine in Congress,' Carlson said. 'This is a person who I confirmed is a real person. I didn't believe it at first... I didn't believe he was really a member of Congress.' Congressman Randy Fine, who was recently elected to replace Mike Waltz in Florida as the preferred candidate of President Trump (pictured together), made the jaw dropping comments in a Fox News interview last month 'It's evil. How can you say something like that and not get expelled from Congress? How can that person still be in the Republican party?' Carlson went on to say that Fine's comments had made him question whether he could remain loyal to the Republican party. 'I don't know if I can support a party with someone like Randy Fine... that's so disgusting. 'So we're gonna nuke Gaza because of its culture? We're going to kill everyone because we don't like their culture?' he repeated incredulously. 'There are Christians in Gaza. Muslims in Gaza. To say there is some Gazan culture that's cohesive.' Carlson has been one of MAGA's most outspoken and high profile supporters, particularly loyal to Trump. But Fine is a Jewish Trump-backed pick who won 83 percent of the Republican primary vote after the president's endorsement. 'Randy Fine has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, RANDY, RUN!' Trump said at the time. Fine has a history of bad blood with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has also fallen out with Trump after running against him in the Republican presidential primary. 'I think these are voters who didn't like Randy Fine, but who basically were like, ''You know what? We're going to take one for the team. The President needs another vote up there. And so we're going to do it'',' DeSantis said of Fine's victory, going on to describe him as a 'squish.' And the Florida congressman doubled down in his attacks on Gaza on Monday, sharing a post to Instagram in the wake of the anti-Israel terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. 'We need to not be afraid to call evil by its name. Palestinianism,' he wrote. Fine added that his Jewish sons had been picked on at school since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel which led to the current conflict in the region.

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. "The entire Palestinian cause is a lie… The entire justification of the cause is to eradicate Israel and to exterminate Jews," Fine said. "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. 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.

Hamas: US Congressman's nuclear threats against Gaza are a crime and act of genocide
DaysofPal- The Hamas movement strongly condemned recent statements by U.S. Republican Congressman Randy Fine, in which he called for the use of nuclear weapons against the Gaza Strip. Hamas denounced the remarks as 'a full-fledged crime and evidence of the fascist racism that governs the thinking of some American politicians.' In a statement released Friday, Hamas described Fine's comments as 'hateful speech and incitement to genocide,' urging condemnation from the U.S. administration and Congress. The movement added that such rhetoric reflects how Congress 'became a platform to justify and encourage the crimes of the occupation when it received the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.' Hamas emphasized that Fine's remarks 'represent a flagrant violation of the principles of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions and openly incite the use of weapons of mass destruction against more than two million civilians.' Despite these 'brutal calls,' the group stressed, 'They will not weaken the determination of our people or their belief in the justice of their cause, but expose once again the true face of the occupation and its supporters.' Congressman Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, sparked outrage earlier this week after advocating for a nuclear strike on Gaza in retaliation for the reported killing of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington. Speaking in an interview on Fox News and reiterating his stance on social media, Fine, who identified himself as a 'proud Zionist Jew,' stated: 'We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese; we bombed them with nuclear weapons twice to obtain unconditional surrender. We must do the same here. America and Israel will never disagree on the extermination of the Palestinians.' Fine's comments are part of a troubling trend of incendiary rhetoric. He is not the first U.S. official to suggest using nuclear weapons in Gaza. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham previously drew comparisons between Israel's military actions in Gaza and the U.S. decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. 'When we faced devastation as a nation after the Pearl Harbor attack and fought the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and that was the right decision,' Graham said. Similar sentiments have also emerged within Israel's political leadership. Amichai Eliyahu, Israel's Minister of Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage, had publicly suggested last year that Israel should consider dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza. The Islamic Jihad movement also condemned the statements, describing them as 'an explicit call to commit crimes against humanity, a terrifying reminder of fascism, and a stain on the forehead of the U.S. Congress, which applauded the arrogance of the war criminal Netanyahu.' In its statement, Islamic Jihad asserted that such declarations 'contradict the principles of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, and conventions that prohibit the use of nuclear weapons against civilians.' The group reaffirmed that these threats 'will not shake our faith in the justice of our cause, which has dropped many masks from the ugly faces, or undermine the steadfastness of our people.' The remarks come amid an ongoing Israeli military campaign in Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023. Backed by the United States, the assault has resulted in a genocidal war. According to health authorities in Gaza, more than 176,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded, the majority of whom are women and children. Over 11,000 remain missing, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. Shortlink for this post:

Hamas: US congressman's call for nuclear strike on Gaza incites genocide
Gaza - Saba: The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, condemned the statements made by US Republican Congressman Randy Fine on Friday evening, in which he called for a nuclear strike on the Gaza Strip, describing his rhetoric as "filled with hatred and incitement to genocide." In a statement, Hamas said that this extremist call constitutes a full-fledged crime and exposes the fascist racism driving the mindset of some American politicians. It stressed that such remarks demand condemnation from both the US administration and Congress, which has become a platform for justifying and encouraging the crimes of the enemy, as seen in its reception of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Hamas added that these statements represent a blatant violation of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, and a public incitement to use weapons of mass destruction against over two million civilians. The movement emphasized that despite such savage calls, the determination of the Palestinian people will not waver, nor will their faith in the justice of their cause. Instead, these statements once again expose the true face of the enemy and its supporters. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
