The nearly 100-year-old Boulder County Historic Courthouse, adjacent to the site of Sunday’s antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colo., was lit up with bluish-purple lights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday in solidarity with the victims and to call attention to Jew-hatred.
“With support from the City of Boulder and the Boulder community at large, we know as a Jewish community that there are those who will stand up and walk beside us,” said Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Tel Aviv-born Colorado state senator, who collaborated on the lighting with the Israeli-American Council.
“This is a powerful statement of unity and a stand against antisemitism in response to the horrific terror attack in Boulder,” stated Eldad Malka, the IAC’s regional director for Colorado.
