Looking at the recent hate crime in Boulder Colorado, where Mohamed Sabry Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at a group comprised of Jews, it makes me ponder the indifference we see toward domestic groups long dismissed to be terrorist or hate organizations. What Soliman did was hateful, and inexcusable--do not get me wrong. As he threw the cocktails, he was yelling "Free Palestine". Thankfully the man was arrested, and is currently facing charges.
Ironically, the Trump administration is displaying an uproar over the crime by Soliman who happens to be from Egypt, however when a collaboration between U.S. white nationalist leaders to form a "Unite the Right" rally in 2017 to proclaim white power in Charlottesville, North Carolina, the Trump Administration saw it much differently. According to our felon president, there were "nice people on both sides". A woman lost her life that day, Heather Heyer, as a white nationalist drove his car through a crowd of counterprotesters.
Most of our domestic white nationalists groups including the Ku Klux Klan, neo-nazi groups, skinheads, The Alternative Right groups, and so forth hate Jews. Is it not interesting groups such as the Klan or neo-Nazi organization plagued with violent histories and behaviors towards blacks are never classified as terrorist organizations? The reason why they are not deemed to be violent or terrorist groups is because the United States is a very racist society. White supremacy has always been an underlying current since the establishment of this country which implemented warfare against the indigenous people and the enslavement of Africans.
However, our American society, which has been controlled by whites for several centuries always assert the citizen's right to free speech when it comes to blacks and other minorities being persecuted. Nevertheless, the white supremacist Trump administration wants to now make exceptions regarding free speech as well as freedom of the press.
The Department of Homeland Security claims to be "cracking" down on student protesters--particularly non-white students, a significant segment are international students. Now the Trump administration is spinning the narrative that people vocalizing opposition to Israel regarding the war in Gaza are advocates for terrorism and pose a risk to the United States.
Myself, I concur with Israel decision to launch a military offensive after Hamas attack Israel on October 7, 2023, but Israel's conduct in this war has been nothing short of egregious. I understand their position to dismantle Hamas. Most of the student protests across this nation involved far more than simply a political divide regarding Israel and Gaza; it involved a focus on Israel's questionable conduct in the war. Should not students have the right to vocalize such in protest?
I do not advocate producing a threatening environment such as throwing out hateful speech as to express the annihilation of a race or a group based on religion. We saw this recently with a group of neo-Nazis rallying in Lincoln Heights. Yet public behavior like this has been acceptable for whites expressing hate towards black for decades, going back to the days of the institution of slavery. America has a history of hate oriented organizations burning crosses in yards of black families, lynching black people including children; and some of the same groups still exist today and are not considered terrorist organizations. Their objectives are to evoke terror and maintain white dominance.
I not only want to point out the hypocrisy of the Trump Administration and his racist minions. I want to point out the hypocrisy of our American society, and how systemic racist is upheld in the United States and indeed, protected by laws to serve the white majority.
All, of this started long before bloated Trump arrived on the scene, and Russell Vought and other Project 2025 players plotted out a schemata to maintain white control. The making of what we are witnessing today has spanned for decades, encompassing diabolical decision making and manipulation designed to effect non whites. Because whites saw the gains being made by other races; fear set in and the "great replacement theory" evolved.
But I must say, Donald Trump cares little about anything other than himself and his self glory. Yet he loves his role as the "great white savior" and he himself, declared himself as the "chosen one".
There is another example of hypocrisy exhibited by trump administration here--the fact that a significant portion of his MAGA supporters are anti-Semitic. They hate Jews, Blacks, Muslims, gays, Hispanics--anything that is not white. Most of the declared white supremacist organizations hate Jewish people and many deny the Holocaust til this day.
Regarding the attack committed by Mohamed Sabry Soliman on June 1, 2025, the people he threw the Molotov cocktails at were a group devoted to gaining exposure for the Israeli hostages. It was a worthy cause to organize around, and the group's primary goal is to focus on getting the hostages back home. They have declared themselves to be a non-political group, from what I have read about it. It is very evident from this tragic event, the attack was an anti-Semitic, a hate crime. I am reading online Soliman has been slapped with attempted murder charges, and this seems fitting.
We are treading on dangerous, reckless ground because the Trump administration considers student protests on campus to be supporting terrorism when people have different perspectives on the Israeli Gaza war as opposed to his own ideology. People have a right to a difference of opinion, but not to harass or terrorize other groups based on race or religion. Yet our own government is doing just this by targeting minorities with various tactics by using ICE and deliberately designing government policies so as to negatively effect specific minority communities. It is a handy excuse to get rid of non-whites too--after all, isn't that what it is all about?
