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.”
Up to 15 years for a silly comment.
Up to 0 years for stealing billions and serial rape, among others.
The legal system is in pristine condition. Why are you asking?
Written to an international genocidal war criminal and she’s the one arrested, wtf.
Did she actually literally send Israel that message, or was it among friends as a bit of an inside joke?
