| Boulder city council member refuses to sign statement condemning firebombing, since it doesn’t say ‘anti-Zionist’ |

| [IsraelTimes] A member of the Boulder, Colorado, city council refuses to sign onto a statement condemning the firebombing attack against a rally for Israeli hostages because it calls the attack antisemitic, and not anti-Zionist. “I could not sign into the joint letter because my request to add the anti-Zionist to the antisemitism attack sentence or the word anywhere in the document was denied,” council member Taishya Adams writes on Facebook. “I cannot sign a letter that equates the calls for a ‘Free Palestine’ with antisemitism. Without the anti-Zionist part, the reader will fail to understand a key driver of this terrible attack,” she writes. “Also, the perpetrator, whose actions I condemn fully and that resulted in harm to our community members, was explicit about ending Zionism.” The US city’s statement calls the firebombing a “targeted, antisemitic attack.” “We cannot – and will not – allow antisemitism to become normalized here,” the statement says. Adams is the “sister city liaison” between Boulder and the Palestinian West Bank city of Nablus. Oh? A member of the hostages’ advocacy group in Boulder has previously accused Adams of anti-Jewish discrimination, including by blocking the hostages’ group on her official Instagram account.Much is explained. Before the attack, the Boulder city council was repeatedly disrupted by anti-Israel protests, prompting a Jewish council member to say she felt unsafe at the meetings, according to Boulder Reporting Lab, a local news siteHow long before they revert to type, dear Reader?

| #1 How long before they revert to type, dear Reader? Days, weeks? Certainly not months… The ugly truth is that their behavior is somewhat subdued not because of the attack but because the attack was only mildly successful. In an honor shame culture being victimized is inherently shameful and successfully victimizing others brings honor. If 10/7 had been a normal terror attack killing 10-20 Israelis and residents the political fallout would have been minuscule. 10/7 and 9/11 emboldened and strengthened them. |
