"Israeli" Ministers Receive Death Threats
Haaretz
A threatening email was sent to a number of coalition MKs and ministers, in the wake of cabinet statements that it is willing to evacuate illegal settlements, and Netanyahu's proposition to evacuate the Migron, the largest unauthorized settlement in the West Bank.
The email, which was sent to the personal email of the "Israeli" ministers states: "With God's help, ministers and MKs, not for this we elected you. You have forged an alliance with the enemy and are doing his bidding in destroying settlements. You are traitors. This is not what God wants. Death to traitors. Leave the government and help the people."
The police and the Shin Bet security service have launched an investigation to determine who's behind this email.

Six "Israeli" missions Receive Suspicious Powder
Eli Bardenstein - Ma'ariv
Yesterday (Monday), six of "Israel's" diplomatic missions around the world received envelopes with suspicious white powder (anthrax): three embassies in Europe and three consulates in the United States. However, only the "Israeli" consulate in Boston was closed and evacuated.
Three other envelopes arrived at the "Israeli" embassy in The Hague, the "Israeli" Embassy in Brussels and to the "Israeli" Embassy in London. Three other envelopes were sent to the "Israeli" consulates in New York, Houston and Boston. The latter was the only one that closed, and the military censorship publicized the news. Foreign Ministry first sought to keep secret and not to share information with the media.
For the time being, it is unclear why the consulate was closed in Boston and what is the difference between its envelope and the other envelopes.
Today, tests will be continued to verify whether the powder is anthrax or not. This is not the first time where suspicions are raised about hostile parties that may be using biological substances such as anthrax. In the past decade, the white powder which was inside the envelopes, managed to terrify many people around the world.
For example, in August 2010, the "Israeli" Embassy staff in Washington called upon the FBI after receiving an envelope containing white powder which was suspected to be anthrax.
Envelopes containing anthrax were sent even after the disaster of September 11, which killed five Americans and injured 17 more. In another case, 30 thousand Americans were forced to use antibiotics after receiving a letter with powder, and then it turned out that it was not anthrax.
