Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport issued a forceful warning to the Jewish community following a recent anti-Semitic terror attack in Colorado, stating, “The cavalry ain’t coming.”
Rapaport’s comments, made during a Tuesday episode of his “I Am Rapaport” podcast, come in response to growing concerns over a rise in targeted violence against Jews in the United States, as reported by The New York Post.
The 55-year-old actor, known for his outspoken support of Israel since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, expressed frustration with the lack of public support following recent high-profile attacks on Jews, including a firebombing in Boulder and a deadly shooting in Washington, D.C.
“I’ll tell you something, Jewish people, the cavalry ain’t coming,” Rapaport said. “The cavalry is not coming for us. They don’t give a f*ck.”

His statement comes after Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman was charged in a hate-motivated attack in Boulder, Colorado.
Soliman, who was in the U.S. illegally, is accused of injuring 12 people with Molotov cocktails and a homemade flamethrower during a pro-Israel event titled “Run For Their Lives.”
Soliman allegedly told authorities he wanted to “kill all Zionist people.” He now faces federal hate crime charges and 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder. If convicted, he could face up to 624 years in prison.
The Boulder attack occurred less than two weeks after another violent incident targeting Jews in Washington, D.C.

According to prosecutors, Elias Rodriguez, 31, shot and killed Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.
Witnesses say Rodriguez yelled “Free, free Palestine!” during his arrest. He faces charges that could result in multiple life sentences or the death penalty.
During his podcast, Rapaport pointed to the silence of those who previously spoke out against injustice. “Don’t you feel like an ass—- now for putting up a black square during Black Lives Matter when nobody is coming and saying anything on our behalf?” he asked.
Rapaport continued, “Nobody is coming and saying anything on our behalf, Jewish people, Zionist people. They’re not calling, they’re not texting, they’re not tweeting. They’re not leaving comments. They’re not DMing. They’re not doing sh*t.”
Comedian and actor Michael Rapaport is alarmed that more non-Jewish people aren’t speaking out in defense of Jewish people following multiple violent attacks against them.

He concluded by telling Jewish Americans to remain vigilant and take personal responsibility for their safety.
