Struggle for peace and democracy in Israel

The more years and decades of non-peace will add only more frustration and room for the crazies to unduly influence politics in Israel, Palestine and the Middle East. When will my Israeli and Palestinian friends have a chance for the peace they desire?

Israeli Arab MKs face growing wave of death threats

Group calling itself Pulsa Denura casts death curse against MK Ahmed Tibi, who received threatening phone calls a day earlier; colleague Talab al-Sana also subjected to death threats.

Israeli Arab MK Ahmed Tibi

Israeli Arab MK Ahmed Tibi on Monday received a threatening letter, apparently from far-rightists, claiming that he had only "180 days to live" and that his death would be "sudden and cruel".

The letter from a group dubbing itself "Pulsa Denura" was the second death threat received by the United Arab List MK in the last two days. The group's name derives from the Aramaic phrase 'whip of fire', a death curse far-rightists have in the past issued against former prime ministers, Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon.
