Attacks on Jewish Community Equate to ‘Hunting’ Jews, Congressman Warns


Listen Later

There is a lot of fear among the Jewish community in America following Sunday’s attack and the shooting in D.C. in May that left two Israel embassy staff members dead. In both instances, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who is Jewish, says the suspects went “hunting” for Jewish people to harm.   

“I mean, people are afraid because there's not enough security to solve for this problem. And what we've seen is we've seen it tolerated,” Fine said.  
Today, Fine says, “we have reached a world where ... the left has told us, ‘globalize the Antifada,’ [and] their soldiers are listening.” Still, the congressman says he has hope because the policy steps taken in Florida have been effective.   
“When you show that you're not afraid, when you call evil for what it is, when you don't back down, they back off,” he said.   
Mohamed Soliman, the lead suspect in attack, used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device as he shouted, “Free Palestine,” and attacked the group of people marching in support of freeing the Israeli hostages. Soliman, an Egyptian national who was in the country illegally, is now in custody and has been charged with a federal hate crime.  
The morning after the attack, Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., both openly Muslim, had yet to issue statements.   
Fine was critical of the silence from the two Muslim congresswomen following the attack that left eight people injured in Boulder, Colorado.   
“They're Muslim terrorists,” he said when asked what he made of their lack of a public statement as of Monday morning.   
“I put it to people this way,” Fine continued, “the people who are sitting, running Hamas in Qatar, they're not blowing anything up, but they support terrorism. If you support Muslim terrorism, you're a Muslim terrorist, and I believe that they both do. You can see it in the silence. I think it is a disgrace that they are Americans, let alone in Congress. And I believe that the way you fight for good is to call out evil.”   
Tlaib did respond to the attack on Monday afternoon following The Daily Signal’s conversation with Fine.  
"The violent attack in Boulder is horrific,” Tlaib wrote on X. “My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families. Violence has no place in our communities.”   
Twenty-four hours after the attack, Omar had yet to issue a statement on the incident. Neither Tlaib or Omar answered The Daily Signal’s request for comment in response to Fine’s claim that the congresswoman are “Muslim terrorists.”   
Fine sits down with The Daily Signal to discuss.
