The stabbing death of a Detroit synagogue board president on Saturday has
ignited a wave of criticism of Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who has been
under mounting scrutiny after blaming Israel for a deadly strike on a Gaza
hospital.

Samantha Woll, 40, who led the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue since 2022,
was found stabbed multiple times early Saturday morning outside of her
home in Detroit's Lafayette Park neighborhood, according to local media
reports.

Woll was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Detroit Police
Department (DPD). A motive has not been determined, nor had a suspect been
made public as of Saturday evening, the department said, adding that the
investigation is ongoing.

Despite the unclear motive, the news of Woll's slaying sparked fresh
backlash against Tlaib on social media, with people blasting the Michigan
Democrat over a post she shared last week on X, formerly Twitter.

Newsweek reached out to the representatives for Tlaib and the DPD via
email and Facebook on Saturday night for comment.

In the controversial social media post, Tlaib blamed Israel for the deadly
blast at the Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday that
claimed nearly 500 lives, according to Palestinian officials.

"Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians
(doctors, children, patients) just like that," Tlaib said in the post.
"@POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire &
help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my
eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will
remember where you stood."
Israel, Hamas and militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad have all denied
responsibility for the devastating strike.

While it is unclear if Woll's death has anything to do with the conflict
in the Middle East, social media users accused Tlaib of inciting violence.

Laura Loomer, a far-right political activist and supporter of former
President Donald Trump, lashed out at the Democratic lawmaker, saying that
Woll's death was "likely incited" by Tlaib's comments.

"Michigan Jewish synagogue president Samantha Woll found dead outside
Detroit home with multiple stab wounds in @rashidatlaib's district,"
Loomer said in a post on X. "This is a hate crime. Likely Incited by
Rashida's calls for violence against Jews and her support for HAMAS."

Ellie Cohanim, a former Deputy Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism under
the Trump administration, blamed Tlaib for "spreading a blood libel" in a
post on X.

"'I point my finger at @RepRashida Tlaib for spreading a blood libel
against Israel & Jews'" I told @FoxFriendsFirst," Cohanim said in the
social media post. "Now, Jewish member of Tlaib's district葉he president
of a synagogue祐amantha Woll was found stabbed to death."

"Samantha Woll, 40 years old, President of Jewish Synagogue in Detroit,
stabbed to death outside her home," Berkowitz said. "If Samantha was
Muslim @RashidaTlaib @RepRashida would have already accused and blamed
Jews of her murder. Samantha was also the founder of the Muslim-Jewish
Forum of Detroit, a grassroots organization aimed to build relationships
between young adults of both faiths. She previously worked for @RepSlotkin
Details on who is responsible and if it is related to the war in Israel,
is not yet known."
