Death threats aren't a new phenomenon in politics. Corbyn probably had more than any politician in recent times. I remember some armed forces members even using his picture in a rifle range. I think if anyone is making excuses for, and as a result, supporting genocide, then these are the very people that need to be made to feel uncomfortable in public. Not attacked, but challenged.

Challenged is fine, death threats are not, and again that goes for any politician, that said I don't think MPs should be challenged when they are just out and about minding their own business, there are ways and means of contacting MPs, they are not on duty 24/7 and have surgeries where people can meet them face to face, some knob on the tube just wanting answers is not the way to do it, they then have a free vote at election time if they want to use that to make their point

the thing is, i'm sure most mp's would be happy to engage with the public if they behaved civilly, that's usually all that's needed in my experience
