Inspired by Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, a California man launched a series of Molotov cocktail attacks in 2024 — torching a UC police car, setting fires on the Berkeley campus, and trying to bomb the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland. Casey Robert Goonan has now been sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison. At sentencing, the judge branded him a “domestic terrorist,” saying his crimes were meant to intimidate governments. Prosecutors said Goonan also urged others to attack Bay Area campuses in support of Palestine.
