The pro-Israel humanitarian group in Boulder that suffered a deadly antisemitic firebombing attack in June is being terrorized again – as “morally hollow” agitators, including a city council candidate who called the group’s leader a “Nazi,” has forced them to go into hiding, insiders told The Post.
Members of the Run For Their Lives chapter in the lefty Colorado city told The Post “things have gotten crazier” after the June 1 targeted terror attack perpetrated by Egyptian national, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, that killed 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injured some 15 others during its weekly one-mile walk advocating for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
“Here we are in Boulder where someone was killed and a bunch of people were burned and we have people who are following our walk and screaming at us,” participant Aaron Brooks told The Post, noting the presence of “Free Palestine” posters, the same phrase that the accused terrorist spewed during the hate attack.
“Our group has had to move our walk due to protesters led by a city council candidate who I caught on video calling our leader a Nazi. It’s a continuous saga of ridiculousness.”
After haters called the Run for Their Lives group’s leader, Rachel Amaru, a “genocidal c–t,” the decision was made that “the walk for the next four weeks will be at an undisclosed location,” said Brooks, lamenting, “In the aftermath of the attack, we have been harassed and this decision is about safety for the group.
“We want to walk for the hostages without being harassed.”
A YouTube video posted on August 17 shows Aaron Stone, a Boulder city council candidate, spreading propaganda about Israel and boasting that his platform against the Jewish state is “the thing that got me into the race” as Run For Their Lives leader Amaru implored Stone to lay off the traumatized marchers.
“First they survived the June attack and now they’re dealing with these aggressive counterprotesting Jihadists tormenting them,” Elise, a Run For Their Lives participant, told The Post. “These people are morally hollow. It’s mentally very difficult.”
The insult to injury is re-terrorizing survivors, participants added. “They try to portray us walkers as genocidal terrorist Nazis,” said Elise. “It’s all orchestrated and coordinated to intimidate us – most of the counter-protesters justify the attack on us, like we had it coming because we support Israel.
“They think we deserve to be firebombed because we’re Zionists – you’re fair game.”
Jewish leaders are fuming over the hate.
“Now, instead of receiving support, they’re being harassed again—even by a candidate for Boulder City Council,” Run For Their Lives Denver leader, Miri Kornfeld, told The Post. “This is a chilling reminder of the hatred they’ve endured and the urgent need to stand with them against antisemitism.”
City council candidate and agitator, Aaron Stone, emailed a statement to The Post Saturday that he “condemns” the June terror attack on “innocent people” while also condemning “people marching every Sunday waving Israeli flags while Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.”
He added “they deserve to be called Nazis” because they “support genocide.”
The group vowed the intimidation tactics may have forced them to go into hiding, but it won’t stop them from fulfilling their weekly mission to raise awareness for those still trapped in Hamas hell.
“They want to harass and intimidate us,” said Brooks, adding, “We’re not hiding and we’re not afraid – we’re just being smart,” while Amaru added: “We will continue to walk peacefully for the hostages.”
