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.”

    Nobody cares about your citizens dead while you kill Palestinian. Is just an excuse for them to make UAE the next target list.

      It’s still an innocent civilian who had no part in what’s happening in Gaza. He didn’t deserve this.

      So what exactly was bigoted or misinformation on my comment ? I could not figure out how to message the mods, so asking here? I’m asking if he was a Zionist or a regular person caught up in all this ? I called the current Israeli government genocidal. Which triggered the response ?

      Edit: I don’t think I will ever get an answer, anyone can see that comment is not that horrible, and I did not even call anyone a zionist. I do not like power plays or censorship. Probably will avoid posting or commenting in this community after this, maybe

        It is bigoted to speculate that the victim of a crime was a bad person based on their religion, ethnicity, or nationality.

        It is misinformation to theorize that there is a coverup or someone is a patsy in the absence of any evidence to support it.

        You were asking if he was a Zionist or a “regular person” to see if he deserved to be murdered? A grocery store owner?

        Go ahead, look at my comment history. You’ll hear me calling what Israel is doing a genocide constantly, because it is. With that understanding, my question is: what the fuck is wrong with you?

          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.
