Bruce Shaffer discusses Boulder’s local politics involving anti-Israel sentiments, highlighting connections between City Council members and pro-Palestinian groups, notably Students For Justice in Palestine.

Join community leaders and wildfire-aware citizens for an urgent conversation on one of Boulder’s most pressing environmental and public safety challenges: wildfire-driven urban conflagration.

Boulder City Council members condemned antisemitic remarks by Taishya Adams, emphasizing the need for strong leadership against extremism while facing backlash from critics.

"I stand in full solidarity with my fellow council members in condemning this senseless and unacceptable act of terror. I, too, am furious and deeply saddened, and my heart is with the victims, their families and Boulder’s Jewish community."

June 1, 2025 This afternoon, a hate-filled individual attacked a peaceful gathering of Jews in our downtown mall.  For over 600 days, this peaceful group has walked every Sunday to raise awareness of the hostages violently taken in Israel on October 7 and still held captive.  My heart and prayers …

The Colorado Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) is deeply disappointed by the decision of the Boulder City Council to officially adopt the city of Nablus as Boulder’s 8th Sister City, by a vote of 7 to 2.

Most of you will know by now that our city council officially voted on Tuesday night (7-2) in favor of adopting the Palestinian city of Nablus as Boulder's 8th sister city...

After hearing from 78 speakers, the Boulder City Council voted 7-2 in favor of the Boulder Nablus Sister City Project, making Nablus Boulder's 8th sister city.
