Samantha Woll, 40, was the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue.

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.

    It’s impossible to claim that land as Palestinian when Palestine has never been a country and that land has never exclusively belonged to what are now called Palestinians

      Yes, according to the people committing genocide and bombing schools and hospitals, Palestine is not a country and Palestinians are not human.

      You’re in like company.

        Palestine has literally never been a country, in all of human history.

        Also Israel offered Palestinians their own country multiple times and Palestinian leadership turned it down. The situation is far more complex than you’re pretending.

          The primary occupying nation and all people supporting the genocide of Palestine totally agree with you, so. Good. For you guys. To share that opinion.

              If you’re talking about 75 years of Israel occupying Palestine, whittling away their borders, executing civilians, bombing their schools and hospitals and commiting genocide, then no, it isn’t childish or stupid, it’s the latest chapter in a colonial genocide.

                  Try to be more specific.

                  Right now, you’re just saying that genocide is silly.

                  Is that all you mean?

                  Because yes, that opinion is childish.

          Nope, israelis believe the Palestinians are animals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPdR3E4hCk

          That is the israeli defense minister making the decision to block water, food or fuel going to Palestinian civilians, basing his decision on his claim that Palestinians are animals.

            I honestly don’t blame them when they’ve been surrounded by countries and a religion that has literally been trying to genocide them from the holy lands for the past 50 years.

            When violently backed in a corner people will act like animals. This applies to both sides.

              It’s closer to 75 years total, and yeah, it’s pretty difficult to blame the completely overwhelmed underdog for reacting viciously to their land being occupied, civilians being arbitrarily executed and schools and hospitals getting bombed for generations.
