The UAE’s Interior Ministry said authorities arrested three suspects involved in the killing of Zvi Kogan, an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi.

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.”

      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
