Hundreds Rally in Boulder, New York for Israeli Hostages After Colorado Attack

In the wake of a violent Molotov cocktail attack on a pro-Israel hostage rally in Boulder, Colorado, which injured at least 15 people, hundreds gathered at multiple events across the U.S. to show solidarity with Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Boulder’s Jewish cultural festival was reimagined to focus on healing and highlighting stories of the 55 hostages still in Gaza, featuring speeches from family members like Moshe Lavi, whose brother-in-law Omri Miran remains captive. Demonstrators in Boulder and New York’s Central Park carried signs calling to end Jew hatred and persistently rallied for the hostages' release despite fears following the attack, with increased security measures in place. Former hostage Raz Ben Ami spoke at the Central Park rally, expressing gratitude for President Trump’s efforts in securing past releases and urging continued advocacy for those still captive. These events underscore a nationwide commitment to supporting hostages and confronting rising antisemitic violence amid ongoing tensions related to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
