TL;DR

An Israeli community established by expatriates in the remote northern Italian village of Varallo has received death threats, including a rifle bullet, accompanied by an ultimatum to leave or be shot. The story, which has garnered media attention in Italy, was previously reported by Haaretz.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A group of disgruntled Israelis decided to establish an Israeli settlement in the remote Italian village of Varallo, in the Piedmont region's Valsesia valley, where most of the original inhabitants had fled due to its remote and bleak nature. Haaretz, the immigration-encouraging daily, covered the project with articles all expressing fabricated admiration (we will post each such 'article' here), and of course everything in Israel is bad—enough of wars and fascism—and Italy is wonderful.

Everything shattered at once when anonymous Italians are now threatening to murder them if they do not leave, including a rifle bullet sent for illustration. 'You are Nazis who occupy us,' including an explicit threat against the Israeli who established this group. There is no medical care, no police to protect them—they are abandoned, dead scared. Since the issue has been published in all Italian media, these poor souls will now face many troubles.

As previously reported by The Zioneer (Monday 08:19), the community had attracted hundreds of supportive responses. The situation has now escalated to include explicit death threats and a rifle bullet.
