A Florida university student was arrested Thursday after posting a message in a WhatsApp group chat that appeared to ask Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "drop bombs" on her college, media reported, citing police. The student told officers it was a joke, but authorities are treating the threat seriously under Florida's laws on school-related threats.
The arrest was made after other students reported the message she sent in a WhatsApp group. As per a report by NBC Miami, the arrest report revealed that she made "a threat to kill or do bodily harm to individuals regarding a scheduled event on Friday, April 10, 2026, via a WhatsApp group chat."
The message was sent on Wednesday night to a chat which reportedly had around 215 students. She sent it when the students were discussing an upcoming event at the university's Ocean Bank Convocation Center. Saldana's message read: "@Netanyahu can you please drop bombs on FIU. Finals are next week and I'm not ready."
Seems like a joke for not wanting to do exams rather than aprotest joke against Israel
Well yeah it's both.
