Cross-posted from “Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed. The government arrests 3” by @[email protected] in [email protected]


TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel said Sunday that the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found after he was killed in what it described as a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.”

The UAE’s Interior Ministry later said authorities arrested three suspects involved in the killing of Zvi Kogan.

The Emirati government did not respond to a request for comment. However, senior Emirati diplomat Anwer Gargash wrote on the social platform X in Arabic on Sunday that “the UAE will remain a home of safety, an oasis of stability, a society of tolerance and coexistence and a beacon of development, pride and advancement.”

    See, first I heard he was a grocery store owner… and if I did not know why so emotional.? I only asked in my original comment who he was, but apparently this murder is being used by bad people for propaganda , which naturally brings out questions about this person, who he was, etc. The removal and your comment tells me I accidentally hit on a sensitive subject for some…

        Did you even read my comment in the mod log? Which part makes me a disgusting bigoted fuckhead, just curious ? I promise you I started out all innocent, but now, I am just seeing how far you will go. And who the heck is JAQing ? Something tells me I stepped into an unhealthy petty exchange.

        Just for the record, I do not support murder at all

          The comment you replied to has been deleted, since it contained insulting language and incivility. However, the user clearly had a link to explain JAQing, so I’m not sure why you’re asking.
