NEW YORK – After a targeted terror attack in Colorado, World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder issued the following statement:
“The firebombing of a peaceful march in Boulder, Colorado—organized to demand the release of hostages held by Hamas—is horrifying, but it should not come as a surprise. Since October 7th, we have been warning that antisemitism is not isolated to the margins. Supporters of Hamas are now emboldened and threatening towns and cities across America and the democratic world.
“This attack, like the murders outside the Jewish museum in Washington, is part of a broader wave of hate that is being tolerated far too easily—from college campuses to government halls. It is not just the Jewish community that suffers. This violence tears at the very fabric of our societies.
We call on law enforcement and government leaders—at every level, in every state, in every country—to act decisively. Now is the time for action, before more lives are lost and more cities are stained with blood.”
