Following violent protests, a peaceful solidarity walk in Boulder gathered hundreds to support the local Jewish community amid rising antisemitic sentiment. Participants, including many first-time walkers, expressed their need for community connection in light of recent attacks and the ongoing Israeli hostages situation. The event featured emotional expressions of solidarity, with signs demanding an end to Jewish hatred while marking the lengthy ordeal of hostages in Gaza. It underscored a collective response to fears stemming from the increased hostility towards Jewish individuals following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.
A hush fell over the walkers as they silently made their way down Pearl Street, carrying signs reading '#EndJewHatred' and posters of Israeli hostages.
Michelle Goldman, 61, expressed her initial nervousness about walking again after an attack during a previous demonstration, feeling drawn out by community support.
