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.

Out of morbid curiosity… are the ~~skinheads~~ white supremacists rooting for the Israelis or Hamas? Usually they don’t like brown people, but they also don’t like Jewish people.

I realize this isn't your point but I feel the need to point out that skinheads are not nazis - it is unfortunately a very well working project of cultural appropriation by the racists.

In the scene racist skinheads are mostly referred to as boneheads, a term which I think makes much more sense.

They're rooting for the Israelis because they want the ethnostate project to succeed.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They know no one outside of their cult is going to support them even if the Israeli government succeeds in committing genocide, don't they?

Even if in their eyes we are blatant hypocrites, it'd be better to be a hypocrite than to give people like that an inch.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It still stands as an example of a successful ethnostate. It's also a destination where they can claim that Jews can be expelled to and that it should be "fine".

And no one listens to white supremacists because we understand life is not black and white like that, and by their reputation alone, white supremacists will never ever get what they want.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and yet the republican party exists, and even thrives.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Okay, fair. Addendum to that: no one outside of their little cult listens to white supremacists.

In general, they have different things they perceive and admire about the two. Please know, I'll be using some of their words. In Hamas, they see people battling "Degeneracy" and "Jewish Influence." There is an admiration for Israel, as an theocratic apartheid ethnostate. Seriously, at protests, Ive seen them carry Israeli flags before. Mostly, though its a party. "The subhumans" are fighting, one will be destroyed and one will look bad in the eyes of the international community.

This article articulates the answer to your question very well, with Nick Fuentes being quoted.

Many Israelis are brown people, about 20 % are Palestinian and there are also Muslims in Israel. Hating or not hating Israel isn't a litmus test for Nazis.

I guess the most Nazi standpoint on Israel-Palestine conflict is to rub one's hands.

[–] cricket97@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Definitely the muslims. Believe it or not the far right doesn't hate muslims, just don't want to be around them. They think American involvement in the muslim world was a result of American military being used for Jewish interests. But they consider Israel to be the leading force in global destabilization. So 100% they are rooting for Palestine.
