Death threats, apparently from Arabs, appeared on Facebook pages of Knesset Member Anastassia Michaeli, after she submitted a bill to stop noise pollution from mosques. She has filed a complaint with police.
MK Michaeli, a member of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has approximately 20,000 “friends” on her Facebook account, and after she wrote them asking for support of her bill, an “army of talkbackers took over three of her four Facebook pages, according to the Yisrael HaYom newspaper.
They deluged the website with insults in Arabic, Hebrew, Russian and English and sent her SMS messages as well as directing rude comments and threats to her via her computer in the Knesset.
They also changed her Facebook picture to show the Knesset Member as a Muslim woman.
The hate threats also included telephone calls to her office, with the backgroundsound of the “muezzin” who announces prayer times through loudspeakers on mosques. Read the rest on: Arutz7
