The House Resolution condemns the antisemitic attack that occurred on June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, where a man targeted individuals attending a Jewish community event aimed at raising awareness for hostages taken by Hamas militants during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. The assailant, who was illegally present in the U.S. after overstaying a work visa, used improvised incendiary weapons, resulting in injuries to eight people, including a Holocaust survivor. This incident is part of a troubling trend of increased antisemitic violence in the U.S. following the aforementioned attack on Israel.
In response to this act of violence, the Louisiana House of Representatives expresses its condemnation not only of the Boulder attack but also of any form of hatred or violence directed at individuals based on their religion, race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, political affiliation, or other identities. The resolution underscores the importance of standing against political violence and promoting a message of solidarity and support for affected communities.
