(Times of Israel) Israel’s Olympic athletes have been receiving threatening messages by email and phone in the last week, according to Hebrew media reports over the weekend.
The first messages were sent to 15 athletes’ emails, and were signed by an entity that identified itself as “the People’s Defense Organization,” which doesn’t exist.
“The People’s Defense Organization announces that it intends to harm any Israeli presence at the Olympics,” the message read, adding that “the Jewish lobby that controls the French Parliament won’t decide anything anymore.”
The letter went on to say that “the fate of the Zionists will be like the fate of the Palestinians in Gaza if the Zionists continue to threaten everyone.”
