Aging Holocaust Survivor and Victim of Colorado Terror Attack Sends a Stirring Message

An 88-year-old survivor of the Holocaust, Barbara Steinmetz, was injured in what is being described as a terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Suffering burns during the incident, Steinmetz was part of a group advocating for Israeli hostages currently held by Hamas, when they were attacked by an individual wielding a makeshift flamethrower.

Survivor’s Call to American Values

In an emotional statement to NBC News, Steinmetz expressed her dismay and confusion at the current state of events in the nation: “What the hell is going on in our country?” She emphasized that the actions seen in Boulder do not reflect American ideals, urging citizens to uphold kindness and decency.

Details of the Attack

The accused attacker, identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal alien who overstayed his visa, allegedly attacked the rally participants, targeting Jewish Americans and supporters of Israel. He now faces multiple charges, including attempted murder and committing a hate crime. President Donald Trump immediately responded, vehemently condemning the terrorism and attributing the suspect’s presence in the U.S. to failed immigration policies under former administrations.

President Trump’s Firm Stance

1776 Coalition Sponsored STOP THE RADICAL LEFT FROM TAKING OVER IN 2026 As a retired Marine Corps General with nearly 50 years of service to the USA, I’m telling you to never underestimate our adversary. Contrary to media reports, they’ve got a plan to sabotage GOP efforts and distract you. They want you to abandon America’s Golden Age. Don’t let them succeed. Stand with me, Jack Bergman, and let’s defeat the left on Capitol Hill!

In the aftermath of the attack, President Trump reinforced his administration’s zero tolerance towards terrorism through a post on Truth Social, pointing to immigration policies as a partial cause of the incident. He further emphasized that his policies are designed to keep the U.S. secure by deporting anti-American elements within the country.

Immediate Government Response

Following these developments, the U.S. government, under Trump’s administration, took swift actions. Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, and Kristi Noem, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, have both expressed their commitment to ensuring that such terror threats are eradicated, emphasizing visa revocations and deportations for those associated with terrorism.

Rising Anti-Semitic Incidents Linked to Global Events

This horrifying event in Boulder is not isolated; it comes on the heels of other violent acts aimed at Israelis and Jews, catalyzed by global anti-Israel sentiments following recent conflicts between Israel and Hamas. Such propaganda has unfortunately incited further violence, including a recent attack in Washington, DC, where two Israeli embassy staff were fatally shot.

Global Repercussions of Propaganda

The manipulative tactics of Hamas, which place military assets in civilian areas, have not only endangered lives in Gaza but have complicated the global narrative, contributing to heightened anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli sentiments and actions across the West.

Authorities have highlighted that during both the Boulder and Washington, DC incidents, the perpetrators cried out “Free Palestine” during their attacks. This phrase has become a symbol of protest against Israel, often used by those opposed to its state policies, particularly around the Palestinian territories.
