Death Threats in Berkeley
http://www.counterpunch.org/weir10182003.html

"Close Your Organization or Die"

By ALISON WEIR

Left on our office voicemail at 2 a.m. on Oct. 3, 2003:

"Hi. I heard your speech today in UC Berkeley; the debate. I'm telling you this right now. On Monday, at 2 PM, you better not be in your office. Because me and my buddies, who were trained in the Israeli Army, will come and kill every single one of you son-of -a-bitches for what you are doing to destroy Israel. So watch out. This is not a joke. On Monday you better watch out. Don't come to work.

And close your organization or you're going to die."

Dear Israel and your frenzied defenders,

No. We're not going to die.

MORE...


NOTE:

I heard this tape on the radio last week it was just as reported.

2. Since nothing happened
the answer would be "no one".

What answer were you trying to go for?

7. Judging by the responses
to most of the terrorism talked about in this board, the only way to deal with this threat is by giving them exactly what they want. If they are willing to do terrorism then they must be horribly oppressed by this woman that has a group caontaining six memebrs that meet in her living room.
