Alabama political leaders denounce the anti-Semitic attack in Colorado: ‘This terrible act of violence is unacceptable’

After a terrorist attack targeting a Jewish group in Colorado, numerous political figures from Alabama have expressed their outrage and concern.

The individual charged, Mohamed Sabri Soliman, an undocumented immigrant from Egypt, is accused of using flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails against a group of Jews who were participating in a peaceful march advocating for the release of hostages held by Hamas.

“I strongly condemn the violent, anti-Semitic terrorist attacks against Jewish Americans in Colorado,” stated Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. “This sleazy act of violence is simply unacceptable. Anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise, and it’s imperative that we come together as a nation to support our Jewish friends and neighbors.”

U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) called this incident part of a troubling trend of violence against Jewish communities in the U.S.

Britt was referencing the recent killings of two Israeli embassy staff members by individuals linked to Palestinian groups as they were leaving an event at a Jewish museum in the capital.

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) remarked that such attacks have “no place” in society.

U.S. Representative Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) expressed his sorrow over the attack.

U.S. Representative Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) indicated he was praying for those harmed in the incident.

Representative Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) remarked that the attack serves as a reminder to confront anti-Semitism in the country.
