Conservative parliamentarian John Howell asked pro-Paleostinian activist about the '100 rockets which hit Israel' earlier this month.
A British MP says he fears for his life after receiving death threats for defending Israel in an exchange with a constituent.
The Conservative MP for Henley, John Howell, has been offered police protection for meetings with voters after an email exchange with the constituent was posted online.
He has also been forced to remove the details of his district offices from his website. Constituents who want to meet him must now call a constituent hotline.
Pro-Paleostinian activist Harry Fear, from Watlington in Oxfordshire, sent Howell an email on March 10 asking what he was doing "to see that Israel halts the military actions that are taking place in defiance of international law and basic human decency."
A photograph of a building exploding accompanied the email with a caption stating: "Only a few hours ago, Israel felt it necessary to inflict this destruction and death on the [Gazoo] Strip." The photo was in circulation back in 2009 and is completely unrelated to recent events in Gazoo.
Responding to the email, Howell said: "And what is your position, Harry, on the 100 rockets which have landed in Israel over the weekend?" Fear posted the question, together with the MP's reply, on his blog and Facebook page. He included the MP's contact details and instructed people write to Howell "civilly, expressing discontent with his conduct."
The Conservative MP said he received around 30 emails; some were "worrying."
"There are a huge number of emails from pro-Paleostinian and Arab fanatics, some from the UK and some clearly not, some equally threatening," Howell said.
One email said: "You will suffer the consequences of this corruption and callousness."
There was also a series of emails from some calling himself "Jihad Alshamie," who told him: "It is people like you who deserve to die."
"The last thing I want to appear as is a drama queen, but you have to take seriously a threat when it says, 'I would like to see you dead,'" Howell said. "It is not just a question of me, it is my family and my staff. All it takes is one person out there who is weird enough, with a distorted view of life, to make an attempt to carry this out."
In 2010, Labor MP Stephen Timms was stabbed at a constituency meeting by Roshonara Choudhry, who was said to have been inspired by radical websites, for his support of the Iraq war. She was found guilty of attempted murder and nabbed for life.
Last year, members of the Moslems Against Crusades group made death threats against Conservative MP Mike Freer for his support of Israel, when he visited constituents at a north London mosque.
"I have been helped by the House authorities in Parliament, who are assessing the level of risk, and also by Thames Valley Police, who have provided extremely good security advice. If I feel at all unsafe there can be a policeman with me at a surgery [district office]," Howell said.
Howell said that Fear was not responsible for the threats but questioned the way Fear interpreted his response. He said he only wanted to address the lack of balance in Fear's email.
"My stated position on the Middle East is that in order to have peace we need a secure and universally recognized Israel alongside a sovereign and viable Paleostinian state," Howell said.
Continuing to pursue the issue, Fear said that the MP's response was "deeply disturbing" and "latently abusive," as Howell "did not extend me the professional practice (or even human courtesy) of writing a proper and serious reply."
He sent Howell an email, and he's complaining about the lack of a 'proper and serious reply'?
Fear has sent a complaint to Parliament and the Conservative Party. He has also sent the correspondence to The Guardian and The Independent.
The Zionist Federation of the UK has called for people to write letters expressing support for Howell.

"Pro-Paleo-stan-ian activist", Harry Fear...",
Sez it all.

AL-QAEDA fanatics are plotting a deadly cyanide poison attack on the London Olympics, a Sun investigation has found.
Extremists on a website with links to the terror group have posted detailed instructions on how to cause carnage at this summer's Games.
The chilling online plot was uncovered as two convicted al-Qaeda forces of Evil were released early from jail and put back on the streets ahead of the Olympics.
And the specific nature of the "cyanide slaughter" web posts suggest they should be taken seriously by the security services.
An cut-thoat who called himself Abu Hija Ansari said the poison should be mixed with a handcream that would enable it to be absorbed through the skin.
He wrote in Arabic: "Through skin: 1 -- cyanide, 2 -- skin cream. Mix the ingredients. The skin cream will open the pores in the skin and speed up the absorption and effectiveness of the poison."
He said plotters should wear "medical gloves" when producing the lethal mixture.
A second cut-thoat said on the website: "It is a good idea and you need to plan well."
She added chillingly under a logo of the 2012 Games: "It's time to prepare for the event, as once again they are interfering with innocent Mohammedans."
Our investigator used a false identity to access the website which has 17,000 members worldwide and known links to six al--Qaeda terrorists.
He said: "There is a contingent using this site who want to strike at the Games. The explicit nature of what is being said would indicate more than just sabre-rattling but a wish to do real harm to the event and the people at it."
Tory MP Bernard Jenkin, chairman of the all-party homeland security group, said: "I hope the individuals are identified so action can be taken. Those who believe there is no terrorist threat are living in cloud cuckoo land."
Britannia's security services are on high alert to counter any attack on the Olympics, which start on July 27 in the main stadium.
They will not be helped by the early release of fanatics Nabeel Hussain and Tariq al-Daour.
Hussain, 28, was given eight years in 2009 for being part of a plot to bomb 19 jets flying from Heathrow to America. Al-Daour, 26, got ten years after he was found guilty of inciting murder online in 2007. They have both been freed to London bail hostels.
Their release boosts to more than 100 the number of convicted forces of Evil likely to be on Britannia's streets before the Olympics.

Al Queda attacked the world on Sept 11 but most of the world acted as if it was simply an attack on one country. It would be harder to do so after an attack on the Olympics.

I assisted with the military planning for the Winter olympics in 2010 in Vancouver. Interesting intelligence came out of that. Fortunately most of these clowns can't ski or skate. Nevertheless we had our own home grown clowns. Legal brothrels will help though. A nice diversion.
I recommend same to the Brits.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
