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.

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.

And the way your framing this intentionally diminishes the clear rise in Anti Semitic violence we're seeing across America and the world.

We have clear recent examples demonstrating that your argument doesn't hold up.

You're an Anti Semite and you're disgusting.

Yeah my dude, violence against minority populations has risen across the board in the last few years. That's kinda a known issue when people start electing white supremacists.

What we were speaking of specifically is people committing violence against Jewish people for their perceived association with the actions of the Israeli state.

We have clear recent examples demonstrating that your argument doesn't hold up.

Do we though? I mean, I'm not combing over the Internet for Islamic reprisal attacks on Jewish Americans, but I haven't seen attacks that would justify your claim.

You're an Anti Semite and you're disgusting.

You know every time you inappropriately utilize that label it diminishes its impact and warps its definition. Just because someone doesn't agree with your point of view, doesn't mean they hate your entire race. It's kinda ridiculous to attempt to frame it that way considering the historical context.
