'Death threats' sell books

Israel critic Antony Loewenstein's life is frequently threatened, or so we are told ad nauseam. None of these threats have ever been published, at least not as far as I know, and there are no death threats amongst the nasty letters cited by Loewenstein:

For the record, I only publish the most vile/challenging/hilarious mail here. Rest assured, I also receive many supportive messages.

Yep, from Jew and Israel-hating weirdos from both fringes of the political spectrum.

Could it be that these death threats don't exist and are but a ploy to help increase the sales of his books? Yes.
