(JEWISH GROUP) Purported Videos of Boulder Attacker Surface as Propaganda on Pro-Terror Telegram Channel
Videos allegedly recorded by the suspect shortly before the June 1, 2025, firebombing assault that targeted the Jewish community and injured 15 people in Boulder, Colorado, began circulating as antisemitic pro-terror propaganda on Telegram just one day after his attack.
While ADL has not independently verified their authenticity, it is unsurprising that videos of suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman affirming his motivations for the alleged attack are being used as propaganda and to celebrate his actions. Given the prevalence of manipulated media and deepfakes, these videos should be viewed with caution.
The videos were shared in the antisemitic, Arabic-language and pro-terror Telegram channel, Taufan al-Ummah. The name of the channel translates to “Flood of the Ummah,” a reference to the Al-Aqsa Flood, Hamas’s name for its October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.
The channel, which has 30,000 followers, encourages violence in the name of the “coming flood” — the destruction of Israel — and lauds Hamas operations both in the West Bank and against civilian targets within Israel. The channel’s recent activities also include praising Elias Rodriguez, the suspect in the double murder of two Israeli embassy workers who were shot while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on May 21, 2025.
On June 2, 2025, moderators of the channel shared the two videos allegedly recorded by Soliman in the “last moments before carrying out the attack on the Zionist dogs in America,” an apparent reference to his attack in Boulder. They claim to have received the videos “from a private source close to the hero.”
