A Detroit synagogue president was found fatally stabbed outside her home Saturday morning.
Samantha Woll, 40, led the congregation of Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue. The synagogue confirmed Woll’s death Saturday in a statement writing, “We are shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Samantha Woll, our Board President.”
“May her memory be a blessing,” the statement continued.
Authorities said a 911 call was made to Woll’s home early Saturday, reporting an individual lying on the ground unresponsive. Police discovered multiple stab wounds on Woll’s body and found a trail of blood leading to her house, where they believe the crime occurred.
An investigation is underway. At this time, the motive for the crime remains unknown.
May her memory be a blessing.
Those who spread lies and disinformation are responsible for this death. The Jew hate needs to stop. This woman was American, not Israeli.
Stabbings are usually regarded as a crime committed by someone who knew the victim. I believe this was not a hate crime but something done by the mind of either revenge or other assorted modes of emotional violence. I believe this crime has entered the news churn to carry out an agenda.
The stabbing in Chicago is a recent example of a hate crime with a knife. Stabbings are often crimes of passion which would fit the bill for a bigot who’s over the edge due to the Hamas propaganda being pushed right now.
The agenda here is your attempt to minimize the Anti Semitism/ Jew hate we’re seeing rise in America and abroad. Anyone with half of a brain sees this bigotry a mile away.
There is no evidence this was fueled by antisemitism. People get stabbed all the time in american cities and no one bats an eye.
Are you actually that stupid or are you trolling?
For all the bigots out there who say the issues with Israel not with jews. This is a shining example of the fact that it is actually Jews, not Israel that people are targeting.
The way that you framed that statement makes it seem as if you can’t have a problem with a state’s actions without also hating its people.
Secondly, this woman was victimized in her own home, which usually implies that she knew the perpetrator. It could still be racially motivated, but there’s not a lot of evidence supporting that. If she had been killed near or around a synagogue, it would make more sense to jump to that conclusion… However, for the time being it’s best to wait and see what the police say before calling everyone a terrorist.
Would that be better? If some Israeli Jew living in the US had been stabbed?
Why does the better alternative in your world have someone being stabbed?
A better option to me is nobody gets hurt that isn’t involved in the conflict.
I think they’re pointing out that it sounds like by saying “she was American, not Israeli” that you think it would have somehow been less awful if she was Israeli.
