THE ISSUE: AN ILLEGAL MIGRANT’S ANTISEMITIC TERROR ATTACK ON A RALLY FOR ISRAELI HOSTAGES IN BOULDER. Mohamed Sabry Soliman is not a hate-fueled madman, he is a violent terrorist — nothing
more, nothing less (“The man with an evil plan,” June 3). How long will it take liberal Democrats in Washington to condemn this violence? It’s time for the liberal establishment in this
country to stand up and speak out against antisemitism. It’s time for legacy media to do the same. Silence will only feed and nourish this hatred. Violence will happen as surely as night
follows day. Let Boulder not be forgotten; what happened there cannot be repeated elsewhere. _Sal Giarratani_ EXPLORE MORE _Boston, Mass._ Again, this is cancerous hate manifested into an
unspeakable act of terror. “Free Palestine” is now synonymous with “Kill Jews on American soil.” _Dave Charak_ _Boca Raton, Fla._ Unless more security is given to the Jewish community, I
seriously doubt that the antisemitic attacks will end. Even if Soliman is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, what good does it do? He and others like him will gladly die for their
cause — which is to exterminate all Jews and, if need be, die a martyr. Can someone please tell me how to stop this madness? _JoAnn Lee Frank_ _Clearwater, Fla._ When US campuses rang with
antisemitic chants, university presidents hid behind the “free speech” excuse. Now Soliman has driven 100 miles to Boulder with Molotov cocktails, echoing those very same chants as he set
Jews on fire with a makeshift flamethrower. Campus leaders lacked the spine to clearly and forcefully condemn calls for violence against Jews. Their silence was not neutrality — it was
permission for people like Mohamed Sabry Soliman to do what he did. _Todd Pittinsky_ _Port Jefferson_ Four of the 9/11 hijackers overstayed their visas and were in the US illegally. The
Egyptian who threw Molotov cocktails in Boulder, Colo. overstayed his visa and was here illegally. Anyone who overstays their visa is a clear danger to the security of the United States and
its law-abiding citizens. _Richard Sherman_ _Margate, Fla._ Everything happens in Colorado: The Columbine HS shooting, Tren De Aragua taking over an entire apartment building and now a
lunatic antisemite throwing Molotov cocktails at a bunch of Jewish people. In every instance, DAs and federal officials treat us to feckless speeches — but we want answers. Was this perp
ever surveilled? Did the police department ever even notify the feds that he was in Colorado, having violated his visa date? _Ken Karcinell_ _Hewlett_ THE ISSUE: THE KNICKS FIRING TOM
THIBODEAU AFTER THEIR BEST SEASON IN 25 YEARS. The firing of the New York Knicks’ head coach was totally unwarranted (“Raising the bar,” June 4). Tom Thibodeau led the team to back-to-back
50-win seasons, then numerous playoff victories. It took 25 years to find a successful coach for the Knicks. What about holding the players accountable for losing in the Eastern Conference
finals? The Knicks owner and team president Leon Rose should be ashamed of themselves for making this move. _Joseph Comperchio_ _Brooklyn_ Are you kidding me? The classless Knicks fired
their head coach. Hey, James Dolan: Take your celebrity row and have a huge pity party. I can only hope and pray the Knicks don’t see any hint of a championship for another 25 years. _George
