Accused Boulder terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman's Jewish neighbor feels 'lucky' he, family weren't targeted by madman

The Jewish man recently relocated and now lives across the street from the individual suspected of being the firebomber in the antisemitic attack. The incident occurred during a solidarity walk held in Colorado for Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas. Despite the attack, the Jewish man considers himself fortunate that his family was not also targeted.

David Costello, a Messianic Jew who moved to Colorado Springs just last week, said he had little interaction with alleged terrorist Mohamed Sandry Soliman. The family of seven, who all dress in traditional Jewish attire, were flabbergasted by the attack and have been left wondering if he would’ve gone after them.

“I mean, I’m pretty recognizably Jewish … I feel grateful that I never put out an Israeli flag like I was going to. And I also have a question of, ‘Why not me?’” Costello said.

“He obviously saw a Jewish neighbor was moving in. Why didn’t he torch me? I’m glad he didn’t. I’m thankful that he didn’t torch our house, but kind of sad for the people in Boulder who he did.”

The day of the attack, Costello and his family were celebrating a picnic to ring in the Messianic Shavuot — and noticed Soliman’s wife lurking nearby.

“While he was doing that, she was walking around a big Messianic Jewish thing that was happening over here. She was just sort of suspiciously walking around,” Costello said, adding that the madman’s wife had given his family food when they moved in.

Soliman appeared in court on Monday and was charged with a federal hate crime and state-level first-degree murder for his attack that left 12 people injured.
