Journalist and Israel activist Emily Austin told 'FOX & Friends' the threats included her address and came from local online accounts in New York City.
Israel activist and journalist Emily Austin says online death and rape threats forced her to invest in a bodyguard in New York City as tensions escalate over the tumult in the Middle East. 'I'd be lying to you if I told you I didn't get a bodyguard for the next, who knows how long. I got a bodyguard because of my appearances on TV,' she told 'FOX & Friends' Monday. 'People are sending me my address. People are sending me rape threats, death threats.
She also lamented the 'misinformation' given to many Gen Z Americans, a large portion of which she says comes from social media like TikTok and college professors. 'Having been in college one year ago, I can tell you if I gave them a map, and I told them to point out Israel versus the West Bank versus any country in the Middle East, quite frankly, they have no idea…' she said.
