Detroit Synagogue President Samantha Woll Stabbed to Death
Breitbart ^ | 21 Oct 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Samantha Woll, 40, board president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue in Detroit, Michigan, was murdered Saturday, and was found stabbed to death outside her home.

The Detroit Free Press reported:

A politically connected Detroit synagogue president was found stabbed dead this morning outside her home in the city’s Lafayette Park neighborhood, east of downtown.

Samantha Woll, 40, led the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue and previously worked for Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and on the re-election campaign of Attorney General Dana Nessel, both Democrats.

“I am shocked, saddened and horrified to learn of Sam’s brutal murder,” Nessel said in a statement. “Sam was as kind a person as I’ve ever known. She was driven by her sincere love of her community, state and country. Sam truly used her faith and activism to create a better place for everyone.”

President Biden spoke out against antisemitism and Islamophobia in an Oval Office address last week:

You know, and here at home, we have to be honest with ourselves. In recent years, too much hate has been given too much oxygen, fueling racism, a rise in antisemitism and Islamicphobia [Islamophobia] right here in America.

It’s also intensified in the wake of recent events that led to the horrific threats and attacks that both shock us and break our hearts.

No motive has yet been identified, but Jewish institutions have been under threat ever since the Palestinian terror group Hamas carried out a massive attack in Israel on October 7, murdering over 1,400 people.

No, it is NOT Detroit. Close, but in a better off suburb.

Thinking the same. It would be a convenient time to get rid of people who happened to be Jewish. Blame would go to Muslims.

When you get stabbed with a knife, that’s not a phobia.

Stabbed indicates it wasn’t a native of the United States.

“”I say we give the Palestinians New York City in exchange for peace.””

At first, I began to agree with the above statement. But then I remembered when I learned about the Evil Empire. The Soviet Union would have kept growing, consuming its neighbors one by one. Any other person or country that remained free was a threat to their tyranny. That is why they had to lie about the free enterprise system. If a regular person inside the USSR could have seen and reported on the incredible creation of wealth that occurs in a free society, the USSR would have imploded much sooner than it did. I remember the tears in the eyes of the first East Germans when the Berlin Wall fell. These East Germans had been forced to stand in long lines for the most basic things. When one of them walked into a regular, western meat market, the tears would not stop.

If we could, some how, give NYC to the Islamofascistnazis, they would immediately foment trouble next door. The PLO was in many of the countries in the Middle East. They all kicked the PLO out eventually. Arafat tried to take over anyone who offered sanctuary.

We pray that Israel will destroy so much of Hamas, Hezbollah, and yes, Iran, that they will fall back on recognition of the very strong horse that is Israel.

I have to agree. They simply can’t be trusted.

She was clearly in the wrong place.

I thought all the Jews moved to Southfield in the ‘60s. The Jewish neighborhoods migrated northwest along the Lodge. They were among the easiest for “block busting” realtors to work. One house flipped to a black family and they were ready to go. Not like the Polish and Italian neighborhoods.

Article about a naive Jewish gal getting murdered and they just can’t resist bringing up “islamophobia” too.

Exactly what you said on the other thread, to someone else. OCD?

I was reading “white supremacists” between the lines.

You know they wanted to say it.
