Karen Diamond was the 82-year-old Jewish woman taking part in a gathering in support of the Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado on June 1. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal immigrant from Egypt, threw flammable liquid on, and set fire to, thirteen of those people standing in quiet prayer, witnesses who were there to remind the world of the hostages still held in Gaza by their Hamas torturers. His attack left 13 of the 29 members of the group wounded, some of them in critical condition. Karen Diamond was one of them; she has just died.
The British journalist Brendan O’Neill considers here how little attention was given to this racist attack by all those “anti-racists” who are busy screaming about “genocide” in Gaza: “Karen Diamond: killed by ‘anti-Zionism,’” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, July 2, 2025:
A woman has died following a savage racist attack. She was doused in a flammable liquid and set on fire by a man barking bigoted insults in her face. She later succumbed to her injuries, her precious life extinguished in a 21st-century lynching by fire. But you will not see blacked-out squares on Instagram for this victim of racist violence. The left will not march. No hashtag will trend. Few hands will be wrung in woke circles over this most hellish assault. Why? Because the victim was a Jew.
Her name was Karen Diamond. She was 82 years old. She was one of 29 people who gathered at Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado on 1 June to call for the release of the Israeli hostages. Their small, prayerful assembly was intruded on in the most sickening fashion by one Mohamed Sabry Soliman. He is suspected of having splashed the gathering with petrol before wielding a homemade flame-thrower to try to immolate them. It’s 2025 and they’re burning Jews again.
Thirteen people were injured. Karen Diamond’s injuries were too severe to survive: she died last week, as revealed in court documents filed this week. What made this act of savagery especially heinous was the age of the victims. The eight people hospitalised were aged 52 to 88. The oldest, Barbara Steinmetz, was a Holocaust survivor, having fled Nazi Europe as an infant in the 1940s. She escaped Hitler’s flames, but not the flames of the rabid ‘anti-Zionism’ raging in the West in 2025.
Officialdom has expressed grief over Diamond’s tragic yielding to the fires of Jew hate that swept Pearl Street Mall four weeks ago. The City of Boulder has extended its ‘heartfelt condolences’ for the loss of this good, long life to an ‘anti-Semitic attack’. But you will search in vain for commentary from ‘anti-racists’. The activist classes are shamefully and horrendously mute. Opinion-makers who pose as ‘anti-fascist’ seem blissfully unbothered by this fascistic horror that entailed the death by fire of a Jew. There will be no ‘George Floyd treatment’ for Karen Diamond….
This is not about blaming anyone other than Soliman for what happened in Boulder four weeks ago. It’s about examining, with frankness, the consequences of the latest elite hysteria. When you call Zionism ‘evil’ and its supporters ‘monsters’, when you depict Zionism as the wickedest ideology of all time, you have no right whatsoever to feign alarm when Zionists – Jews – are subjected to violent retribution. You found them guilty of evil, so why should others not pass sentence on them?

I hope that the death penalty is sought for Mohammed Sabry Soliman, following the death of Karen Diamond. Even if we’re talking about a wasted state like Colorado
Maybe administer enough fentanyl on him until he gets to allah

He who intentionally causes death by fire should die by fire. I’ve been to the burn units of 2 hospitals in my lifetime so far, and it’s not a pleasant sight (or smell) until the patient is cleaned up. Luckily the patients are sedated with morphine drips so they are not in pain, but before the paramedics get to them, the pain is very bad. Only a Muslim would do this to someone because he doesn’t like their message. The world has to know that the Muzzies are not deranged in the mental health context, but rather they are only following their religion and true beliefs. But I’m sure that Mohamed Sabry Soliman‘s attorneys will put in an insanity defense to play on the jury’s ignorance of Islam.

IN Australia, Anglo Marxists are doing this as well. Not just Muslims.
So far 2 synagogues have been firebombed in Melbourne, casualty deaths only just avoided.

Rick Gordon says
Horrible! An example of the loss of humanity. How could an individual or group engage in such savagery? The outpouring of sympathy for all who knew her should be universal and from all sides of the political spectrum.
shosh says
All the hate, lies and savage murder will end soon. On May 14, 1948 Israel became a sovereign country again by UN Resolution 181. The 1948 Generation is 77 years old. In Matthew 24 the Lord states that the generation alive to see Israel become a nation again after 2,000 years WILL NOT PASS BEFORE THE SON OF MAN RETURNS. Time is slipping away and the King is getting ready to mount up with His army to rule the world from Jerusalem. Are you ready to face Him?
Patrick says
When will Americans wake up to the fact that Muslims in America, pose a legitimate evil, threat to USA? A threat from Muhammad and Allah for wanting to kill all non-Muslim and control America.
Islamic scum Mohamed Soliman, is a prime example of what the Islamic world would like to do to America/Americans, by killing us and burning us alive.
Siddi Nasrani says
I recommend the punishment is in Leviticus 24:17-22
Eye for eye, etc, so burn for burn, roast the fat bastard alive.
They do it to there own.
The caliphate executes a handful of men by
burning them alive in a bakery oven: 8 Killed
somehistory says
The ugly ghoul is facing Federal charges, in addition to the CO state charges. (hate crimes causing death)
The Feds can give him the death penalty, even if CO won’t.
OLD GUY says
Sadly even if he gets the death sentence it will be thirty years of appeals by his lawyers paid for by the tax payer and then it will be probably commuted to life in prison. We the tax payers will pay for his crime for a vary long time.
somehistory says
That’s the way with most murderers. But the D.C. sniper guy…j mohammed, got his in less than ten years. I think it was six or seven.

On the Death of Karen Diamond
……………………………………
Just horrifyng–this poor woman. She languishd in pain for ovre a month before succumbing to her wounds.
God, I hate Islam.
Ralph says
The life of Karen Diamond was worth more than that of all the Mooslimes in the world. There is not a hint of any saving grace is Islime. It’s all rotten to the core.
Lady of the Lake says
I have a few questions…
1. Why is the crime labelled a race attack when it was clearly a sectarian attack having nothing to do with race?
2. Why are the words ‘muslim’ and ‘islam’ totally absent from this story when they were the driving force behind the crime?
3. Would Brendan be arrested in the UK for identifying the religious compulsion driving the perp?
4. Are the feds going for Sparky on this one?
Ruth Hammons says
May God rest Ms. Diamond’s soul and wrap her in His arms for such a horrifying death. She is absent from the world, but she is with Him safely and at peace! That is the best place to be, all things considered, in how things have become now. LOTS of evil and evil people are all around us as never before and worse is coming if some have their ways!
I do not ask much for the insane man that caused this horrible time for these people
as he is entrenched the horrible insane system of Islam! This evil system is against anyone that is not just like they are and are purely of satan!
Are we to let such rubbish harm our world? Why on earth are muslins in our country at all? They are in our government, in our schools & colleges teaching our kids, in our work places and growing in numbers all the time! They are totally opposites in all we were ever meant to be and our Christian founding! His actions prove how they are and what they think they can do! Every time there is a muslim involved it means evil and trouble has been pushed!
Heck, we even have some muslims in our own government who cannot be on board with the truth of the freedom, rules, regs and rights of Americans! Time we all get with the program to make sure such people are not part of our country or our places of importance such as government or anywhere for that matter! They represent total evil and are totally opposite to us in America and all in the rest of the world who are not just like them!. Just who do they think they are; the ONLY religion and people in the world that should be in charge-is who!. WRONG! They hate the Jewish community that have suffered enough at the hands of ignorant and mindless people who just don’t ‘get it’ and have no faith in the truth! This man is thoroughly entrenched in the horrible inhumane belief system of Islam and muslims. They are brainwashed and while they can believe as they wish, they cannot do such horrible things against everyone else that does not believe as they do. We have the right to fight against satan and his ways on this planet and anyone that does not like that is welcome to leave or never come here at all! One would think as long as history has been, that muslims would know they mean nothing to the rest of the world and should not be considered as citizens of any country but their own!…most of all ours! That goes for many illegals too!
We are in the war between good and evil now! STAND UP, BE STRONG AND LETS STOP SATAN IN HIS TRACKS AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE HIM! WE HAVE THE TRUTH OF GOD, THE REAL ONE, ON OUR SIDE. FOR AFTER ALL, HE IS THE ONE THAT CREATED EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. SO, IT IS TIME ALL PEOPLE WAKE UP TO THAT TRUTH! AS TIME IS COMING TO THE END AND THERE WILL BE AN END AND A RECKONING WHERE EACH ONE OF US WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR ALL WE HAVE BEEN, DONE AND BELIEVED IN!
May more muslims and a lot of others too in this nation and the world…wake up to Gods truth.
Sister Alberti says
Cut off his right hand, give him no toilet paper and feed him pork. Give him the death sentence. Maybe he will be happy to accept it since he’s breaking all their stupid rules.
