Suspect Arrested For Vandalism In Boston

The Jeremiah Yusuf Sawaqed case is a textbook example of how political favoritism, soft-on-crime ideology, and selective transparency combine into a public safety disaster.

By the time Boston media first reported on the July 23 vandalism at the Massachusetts State House—white paint splattered across gates and columns, half-finished graffiti reading “Divest” or “Divert”—the real story was already much bigger.

The man police suspected, 25-year-old Sawaqed of Everett, wasn’t just defacing property. He allegedly fled the scene leaving behind paint footprints, two suspected IEDs, and—when later caught—another device in his mother’s car along with DAMPL propaganda and gasoline cans.

Pro-Palestine Islamist had “discarded two homemade IED’s in the Boston Commons”…and the lede is about vandalism?

Really?

Also…what patterns are we seeing here?

DAMPL, short for the “Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation,” is no benign activist club. Court documents describe it as an “extreme anti-Zionist organization” that explicitly calls for criminal acts against targets it associates with Israel, capitalism, and imperialism.

The Anti-Defamation League says it’s part of a network of U.S. and foreign extremists. In Boston alone, the group has taken credit for multiple high-profile acts of vandalism, from the George Washington statue to MIT’s Stata Center.

Yet when this suspect—already featured in DAMPL’s own propaganda videos—was connected to biohazard-laced paint (“mixed with feces,” per their own Instagram brag) and explosives, Boston officials kept the most alarming details quiet.

No public warning. No alert that a would-be bomber was roaming the city. No acknowledgment that hazardous material had been spread on public property where people worked cleanup without protective gear.

The excuse? In a city run by Mayor Michelle Wu and overseen in part by Suffolk County Sheriff allies steeped in progressive politics, the focus seems less on public alarm than on controlling the optics. The mother’s arrest for spitting on an officer while defending her “innocent” son only added another page to this absurd script.

Boston residents had every right to know there was more at play than “vandalism.” They had a right to know about the explosives, the feces-paint, and the extremist network behind it. Instead, they got the “bomb in a bin” treatment—don’t worry, nothing to see here, go about your day.

But there is something to see here: a radical group just months old, already capable of coordinated, hazardous attacks on public landmarks, operating in and around the city.
