Colorado Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Weiser revealed Wednesday he was “concerned” that far-left congressional candidate Melat Kiros could not answer whether the firebombing of a pro-Israel rally was antisemitic.

In an interview with 9News last month, Kiros hesitated to answer whether a deadly attack on a pro-Israel rally in Boulder last year which killed one attendee and wounded a dozen others could be described as antisemitic.

“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said. “All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed, and I don’t even know what the people that were at that protest believed, too. In fact, most of them were probably just there to, you know, ask that the people who were kidnapped during October 7 be returned home to their families. That’s not a political statement in and of itself.”

She continued, “I think the fact that we’re having a conversation about whether it was anti-Zionism or antisemitism is a political debate that, you know, I think everyone has the freedom to have, but to me it was a loss of innocent life. Regardless of what the perpetrator had in mind when he took those lives matters less to me than, you know, our responsibility to making sure that people understand that even in the face of these kinds of disagreements that violence is not the answer.”

When pressed, Kiros repeated that she did not know the perpetrator’s intentions.

Weiser, who recently defeated Sen. Michael Bennet in the Democratic primary bid for governor, pointed out that the perpetrator, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, had already been convicted of all charges, including committing a hate crime.

“We cannot look at that murder and say anything else happened than a hate crime,” Weiser told 9News. “And so, if someone isn’t going to acknowledge that, I am concerned about that, because this was tried. Now we have a conviction. Our judicial system is set up to make a judgment, and the judgment here was it was a hate crime.”

He referred to the crime as an “antisemitic attack” and expressed remorse for 82-year-old Karen Diamond, who was killed during the demonstration.

“This is a point you hear a lot in the context of Black Lives Matter. Now we’re talking Jewish Lives Matter, and for a lot of people this may not have been as clear a conversation, but let me tell you what it means. Black Lives Matter, period. Black Lives Matter. Elijah McClain’s life mattered, period. You don’t put a comma. Jewish lives matter. Karen Diamond’s life mattered. You don’t put a comma, an ‘and’ or a ‘but’ — period. That’s the message,” Weiser said.
