Letter: “Poison Her A** Slowly.” What Divestment from Israel Actually Means

Dear editor:

Eight University of Michigan associated Zionophobic thugs have been indicted for threatening to poison an individual, witness intimidation, and many other conspiratorial violent acts while using “divestment from Israel” as a cover for their Hitlerian conspiracy.

“‘Poison Her A– Slowly’, US Students Charged With Violent Plot To Terrorize Jews in Michigan“,  Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, 6/11/26.

These eight divestment violent thugs are:

Zainab Aliasgar Hakim aka “Z”, 23;
Amatullah Aliasgar Hakim aka “A”, 21;
Paige Elizabeth Feycock, 26;
Ahmet Kerem Korkaya aka “Met” 28;
Jonathan Hongru Zou, 22;
Alexander Matthew Sepulveda, 23;
Mariam Muhammad Odeh, 24; and
Colin Hunter Weger aka “Beams”, 24;

Their violent divestment conspiracy included putting an individual on a hit list whose description matches the former University of Michigan president Santa Ono and directing that he “gotta die” and his “entire family is now on my hit list.”

Korkaya as part of the violent divestment conspiracy declared:

“I’m gonna be the dirtiest f* ck*ng doctor ever/ I’m gonna be (the victim’s) doctor/poison her a** slowly”

Feycock proudly declared:

“We need people following (the victim)/get into their house then burn it down”

The University of Michigan 8 represent a direct connection to BDS founder Omar Barghouti who 20 years ago said the sole purpose of BDS is the euthanasia of Israel.

It is a small step from euthanasia to arson, poisoning, witness intimidation and general organized crime thuggery.

The University of Michigan 8 has revealed the true violent foundation of “divestment by any means necessary” — the violent Zionophobic battle cry of the divestment thugs of the University of Michigan 8. They have made clear what divestment from Israel actually means.
