Michigan Synagogue Attack Was "Hezballah-Inspired," Says FBI

They can finally determine a motive. When the Bureau is headed by a Trump appointee, at least.

The attack earlier this month on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was "a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan," the FBI said in a news conference Monday.

The assailant, Ayman Ghazali, a naturalized US citizen from Lebanon, rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue on March 12, as more than 100 children were attending school inside.

...


Had he lived, he would have been charged with providing material support to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, said Jerome Gorgon, US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Gorgon added Ghazali was inspired by Hezbollah propaganda to carry out the attack.

"This man acted under Hezbollah's direction and control," Gorgon said. "He intended to kill others, not just himself."

Two of his brothers were Hezballah terror commanders. They were killed by Israel.

...

Ghazali began planning for the attack days earlier, the FBI said, with his plans intensifying on March 9. A review of Ghazali's online activity dating to January showed repeated searches for pro‑Hezbollah and Iranian news outlets, as well as videos related to gunfire and ammunition.

Beginning March 9, the FBI said, he closely followed speeches and live coverage involving Hezbollah's secretary general, Naim Qassem, along with reporting about an Iranian fatwa -- a religious ruling concerning Islamic law -- calling for total jihad against the US military.

He also researched Jewish cultural educational and religious centers throughout the Detroit metro area, viewed multiple pages of upcoming events at Temple Israel and searched specific terms and phrases such as "the largest gathering of Israelis in Michigan," "Orthodox synagogues" and "Israelis near me," Runyan said.

...

An order of dozens of water containers arrived on the 11th -- the day before the attack -- and he immediately started filling them with gasoline, making four trips to gas stations so he would not arouse suspicion, Runyan said. He also bought two torch lighters, which authorities believe he used to set his truck on fire.

On the day of the attack, Ghazali sent his sister, who authorities believe lives in Lebanon, numerous videos and messages "affirming his Hezbollah-inspired ideology," Runyan said.

Ten minutes before he drove his truck into the synagogue, Ghazali sent his sister two videos in Arabic indicating he was at the largest gathering of Israelis in the state of Michigan, had booby-trapped his car and would forcibly enter and start shooting people, the FBI said.

"God willing, I will kill as many of them as I possibly can," Ghazali recorded himself saying, according to Runyan.

Happy Tuesday!

I didn't read much over the weekend but I'm now "On the Doorstep" in The Hobbit. I'm sure many of you finished.

Does anyone do this? When I read Hobbit/LOTR, I put on music and ambience from the movies. But I'm not sure it adds anything. I think it just distracts me.

Update:

It was Netanyahu inspired terrorism. He consistently links Judaism and Zionism and it puts a target on the backs of Jews all over the world. The people in Michigan had nothing to do with the war crimes Israel is committing.

Exactly. Who wants to take the FBI at their word on this one? I'm guessing the usual suspects.

It absolutely doesn't excuse the violence, but I've also heard his family in Lebanon was killed in Israeli attacks. If we're going to be involved in this war, we're going to experience the effects of it.

It turns out when you launch a poorly conceived attack on a foreign nation with zero regard for collateral damage, it leads to stuff like this. There is zero excuse for the violence he planned to commit, but killing innocents breeds terrorism and unfortunately the current administration is damn good at that.

This isn't a terrorist linked attack. The FBI is bullshitiny to justify the invasion of Lebanon. Gotta justify the genocide and land grab

38 Fun fact, since Gorsuch had the opinion today reversing Colorado's ban on family therapy to reverse same sex or trans oriented yutes, then it appears very likely that Justice Alito may author Callais v. LA which is the Majority Minority districts under the Voting Rights Act. From the October cases this term, only Alito has not authored an opinion.

I suspect the leftist justices are trying to push the opinion's release beyond this year's elections as it will cost the Dems probably about a dozen or more seats and require redistricting in multiple states.

yeah, Trump's main objective is preventing Iran's junta from being able to produce a nuke and the missile capability to strike USA, (or maybe Europe). The other issue of oil prices spiking in Europe and other less Western nations ... might be a bonus, but I'm not really clear on that.

Makes US oil/gas/coal more valuable, but idk about the whole "global economy" thang. USA has usually been the big buyer in that global economy, so not sure it really hurts us much.

86 BACKLASH!!!!!!!! BEWARE OF BACKLASH!!!!!!

Seriously, clown comments like the last on on this post are right out of the Ali Mohammad Alinski playbook. Even when someone screams "Allah Ackbar" and proceeds to recite the Koran while simutaneously beheading Jewish children, while wearing a Hezballah T-shirt and leaving a manifesto outlining the exact reason for the actions; the victim card pops out from supporters creating some chimera argument that they will be the ones to suffer from non-existent repurcussions.

Reminds me of a neighbor as a kid. He'd whip snowballs at me while I was shoveling the drive-way. The minute I turned towards him and took a step, he'd run in his house and tell his mom I was threatening him. That's the Muslim community in a nutshell.

So this human torch guy who attacked the synagogue belonged to the Shia muslim minority. They're about 20% of muslims worldwide. When they are working together with the Sunni majority against Jews and the West, their 1400 year old blood feud is temporarily forgotten. When those issues are not front and center, they turn on each other again.

Iran is Shia central. Or was.

But then I thought, why not layer the shortbread cookies with the pudding, the preserves, and the cocowhip (maybe flavored with either lemon zest or raspberry syrup) and then top with all the fresh fruit for the world's easiest dairy/nut free trifle (or icebox cake, depending how I layer and what dish I use - not sure I have a true "trifler" one)...

There were already theological differences between the Patriarch of Rome and Constantinople by the time the question of the relationship of the two came to a head.

Interestingly this mostly only happened because Islam conquered the cities of the other Patriarchs. Had Byzantium repelled Islam I suspect the resolution of the political question would have been different...

Posted by: San Franpsycho at March 31, 2026 01:01 PM (RIvkX)


The Reason is there to justify the conclusion that was arrived at before the act.

"See, just like Jean Valjean!"

Without that justification then the preconceptions at play make the act meaningless, since alternate explanations cannot exist.
For some people, even the attempt to find an alternate explanation becomes a violation, and can be like an assault on the perception of the world.

So, just like Jean Valjean, it is an act solely in response to the bad things that are disapproved of.

Easter is the one time of year spouse doesn't complain that I make deviled eggs (this is always on the lunch tray). He agrees that while he can't stand hard boiled eggs, once we dye eggs, there's really nothing else to do with them except egg salad or deviled eggs, and my kids love deviled eggs. So that's part of the "lunch tray" of the holiday (and he dutifully ignores them). As some posters know, we always do a tray type lunch for holidays - then people grab what they like...

Trump wants markets floating higher, to help inflate our way "out" of the massive debt burden. But markets seem to be in bubble territory, so perhaps at some point a controlled decline would not be terrible.

Europe is already facing ~$8/gal gas, along with other issues. Seems USA is gaining power, and with tariffs the balance of trade power is adjusting. China still has like a trillion in global trade surplus, but they have plenty of issues.

I'm no expert, but the Sunni vs Shia split happened just after the death of Mohammed, and it was over whether the new religion should have a chief authority who was related to Mohammed by blood, or not. A group including Mohammed's son was ambushed and killed while traveling, by the non-bloodline faction (Sunnis), and it was on.

To this day the most senior Shia clerics must be able to claim that they are descendants of Mohammed.

TBH salic primogeniture with a nominal divine right of a king WAS a social improvement over what had gone before.

Having a clear succession with weaker nobles to cause less trouble with their infighting is part of the reason Europe was able to go on the offensive in the crusades era - Islam as the time had polygamy, no real rules on succession, and endemic internal conflicts.

244 TBH salic primogeniture with a nominal divine right of a king WAS a social improvement over what had gone before.

Having a clear succession with weaker nobles to cause less trouble with their infighting is part of the reason Europe was able to go on the offensive in the crusades era - Islam as the time had polygamy, no real rules on succession, and endemic internal conflicts.

It could also be seen as Charlemagne realizing the need for raising of horse for his knights required large estates, and the support of Salic law prevented the break up of the estates to "all the inheritors", as well as cementing ties to Charlemagne personally by those lucky first born.

Rats running around, workers with no gloves coughing and sneezing over a giant stirring pot. And, it gets worse from there.

277 The Atlantic of all places has an article called Canada's Polite Pogrom. Talks about attacks on Jews in Canuckistan. Canada has had the highest per capita attacks on Jews/Synagogues of any western country.

Weird what happens when you let in millions of Muslims into the country huh?

The Canadian socialist **party called the NDP had its convention over the weekend. They were waving Palestinian flags and their speakers were wearing Palestinian pins. Here’s the kicker they elected a Jew as their leader., lol. The party that openly supports Hamas has Jewish leader. How much crazier will the world get?


** yes they are all socialists but NDP is out and proud socialist/communist without pretending otherwise. And it’s not some fringe party it is a legit party that has won provincial elections and wins seats in the federal parliament.

You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated.

Six seats in the federal Parliament. And, millions of Muslims (I doubt that but in a nation of 35 million it doesn’t take much) or not, they are all in love with Current Thing. Current Thing is now hate Israel, love Palestine.

By the way, the national convention was such a freak show that provincial NDPs are distancing themselves. The idiot Nenshi in AB is scared to death of what the freak show will do to NDP chances in his province.
