RESOLUTION

Condemning the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.

Whereas, on Sunday, June 1, 2025, 12 innocent American citizens were the subject of a coordinated terrorist attack meant to take the lives of Jewish Americans; Whereas those attacked ranged between the ages of 52 and 88, with one of the victims of the attack being a survivor of the Holocaust; Whereas the perpetrator of the attack, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, used Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower in an attempt to murder individuals specifically because of their Jewish heritage; Whereas Mohamed Soliman was reported to have yelled, “Free Palestine,” as he initiated his attack against a crowd of innocent Americans peacefully bringing awareness to the hostages that remain captive in Gaza; Whereas this heinous terrorist attack comes amidst an alarming rise in antisemitic violence sweeping the United States; Whereas, in the last 2 months alone, radical pro-Palestine activists have killed an engaged couple working at the Israeli Embassy and set fire to Governor Josh Shapiro’s home; and Whereas Mohamed Soliman had illegally overstayed his initial visa, and should have never been permitted to remain in the country as long as he was: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) unequivocally condemns the antisemitic terrorist attack that took place against innocent Americans in Boulder, Colorado;

(2) 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;

(3) prays for the swift and full recovery of all those injured in the attack, and expresses thanks to the police and emergency responders for their immediate action;

(4) calls for the perpetrator of the terrorist attack to be prosecuted under the full extent of the law; and
