"Israeli minister’s security tight after death threats" by Josef Federman, Associated Press | January 7, 2010
JERUSALEM - Jewish extremists angry over limits on West Bank construction have threatened to kill the defense minister, prompting the government to beef up security around him, officials said yesterday.
Oh, it is a zany zettler, huh?
Or is this just another ploy to gain the NaZionist some sympathy?
They said the internal security service, or Shin Bet, was investigating the threats and that Ehud Barak’s security has been reinforced in recent weeks. Such threats are taken seriously in Israel after Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by a Jewish extremist opposed to his peace moves with the Palestinians....
Smells like an INSIDE JOB to me!
And we call them TERRORISTS in these parts!
Channel 10 TV showed a picture of a threatening letter on its evening newscast yesterday.
Speaking in Tel Aviv later yesterday, Barak referred to the letter. “I am not afraid of anything or anyone, and that goes for the threats as well,’’ he said.
So it's just a piece of propaganda, folks. The Israelis got a letter!
What, no anthrax in it?
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the settlement restrictions in November, triggering an angry backlash from West Bank settlers, who fear the measure is a first step toward dismantling their West Bank communities as part of a future peace agreement.

Getting ticked off and overreacting over nothing, the damn *ews!!!
Settlers have repeatedly tried to block inspectors from enforcing the ban, and in some cases, the protests have turned violent. Much of the anger has been directed at Barak, who leads the centrist Labor Party and who oversees construction policies in the West Bank. While mainstream settler leaders have urged people to use nonviolent tactics, security officials are concerned about the intentions of a small number of extremists living in the West Bank.
There is NO SUCH THING as a "mainstream" when it comes to JEWISH TERRORISTS!!!!
In November, authorities arrested a US-born settler and charged him in the shooting deaths of two Palestinians and trying to kill others in a string of attacks on people who disagreed with his views.

How come we don't get a name?
If he were Muslim we would.
The security officials said additional bodyguards have been assigned to Barak for several weeks following numerous threats against him. The letter shown on TV said, “Mr. Ehud Barak, if you [think] you will destroy the settlements in Judea and Samaria and be nice to the Americans, you’re mistaken. I will murder you before that happens,’’ the letter said, referring to the West Bank by its biblical name.
I say we CUT OFF the $$$ RIGHT NOW!!
Ungrateful bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!
A spokesman for the Shin Bet said the letter is being investigated. He refused to give details on changes in Barak’s security detail, saying only that “we always conduct assessments and make changes according to the situation.’’ Settler leader Dani Dayan said whoever wrote the letter is “delusional’’ and should be prosecuted. “We reject this threat fully,’’ he told Army Radio.
The whole nation is a bunch of pyschopaths.
