The threat is clear, yet it lacks credibility, yet Shabak is working overtime... What is it you are trying to say

Feel free to flex your activist muscles and report the follow-up group here. They currently have 16 'likes' as opposed to the original group that had over 300,000! Credible threat or not, the group's removal is symbolic.
