Several days ago, I received a threatening letter informing me that I am "moving up on 'the List," and that I am "fucked."
The letter calls me a "kapo," indicating its authorship by a Zionist fanatic, possibly affiliated with an outfit like JDL Brotherhood 613, or from Betar dead-enders who advocate violence against perceived enemies of Israel.
I opened this letter as Israel-backed Trump admin allies like Laura Loomer portrayed me as a national security threat and demanded my persecution for reporting from Iran, and as the Trump admin harassed me by illegally seizing my phones.
I am not the only person to have received these letters. Howard Heath, a state representative in New Hampshire who is campaigning for Congress on a pledge to cut off military aid to Israel, also reported receiving a letter from the same "Yoor Dedmeet."
The return address applied to the letter is the field office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress. To me, this indicates that she and her staff could also be targets of whichever malicious individual or group sent the letter.
I have filed a report with local police and informed the US Postal Service Inspector of this threatening letter.
This is Houla, South Lebanon — before and after Israel’s genocide.
An ancient village that stood for more than 2,000 years.
Israel wiped it off the map.
A war crime. A crime against history.
