Late comedienne Joan Rivers was forced to hire a bodyguard in the last weeks of her life after she received death threats in response to pro-Israel comments she made during Operation Protective Edge, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Blaine Trump, a personal friend of the Jewish comic, told the paper that a TMZ report which captured her remarks on the Gaza conflict in late July made Rivers fear for her safety.

“When she came out and said Israel had every right to bomb Hamas, the death threats started rolling in,” Trump told the Reporter. …

I read that it was one doctor’s decision to do another invasive procedure before the first one was over that led to her death. I wonder who the doctor was.

We will always wonder if Joan has just been ‘Breitbarted’.
I think it was one of her own regular doctors who chose to do this procedure. Interesting that such an invasive procedure (throat biopsy) was done on an 81 y/o without general anesthesia.

From what I read her vocal chords seized up and she couldn’t breathe. So what does that mean? She was choking and flailing about and turning blue until her heart stopped while the doctor stood around and watched her? NYC is the Jew self-hating capital of the country, it’s why our first radical Muslim POTUS went there more than any other city for fundraisers while running, sometimes 2 -3 times a week so even if she had Jewish doctors, it would not surprise me in the least if this was done on purpose.

And her anaesthesiologist. I'd be very interested in knowing if either are cult members of the "ROP."

I am not one bit a fan of Joan Rivers but it doesn’t surprise me that she got death threats when she made fun of BO and Michele and supported Israel

Don’t know his name, but the doctor in question arrived with Joan’s company. He was not the doctor scheduled for the appointment.

What the heck is ROP? Is there an acronym dictionary I should know about?

Religion of Peace. Said with an extra-heavy dose of sarcasm. Referring to Pisslam as the ROP is also a way of making fun of our idiot politicians (but I repeat myself) who have said as much, starting with GWB. Such are the wages of political correctness.

ROP="Religion of Peace", a common euphemism for the religion practiced by many "Asian" countries.

"Asian" is a common euphemism for countries that include Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, etc.

“Religion of Peace,” I’d guess.

If you aren't capable and ready to do an emergent tracheostomy, you should not be doing vocal cord surgery - especially in an non-hospital setting. To me, if true, this is indefensible.

Ahhh. ROP.

I was way off— thinking maybe a run-on-peas. But then I was hungry at the moment.

Thanks, to all.

“When she came out and said Israel had every right to bomb Hamas, the death threats started rolling in.”

So what do we do to counter this type of threat?

Import more mohammedans.

Her comments about O being gay and Moochelle being a tranny must have got her some influential enemies.

Just what I was thinking, I mean they even taught us that in Boy scouts, if you see someone choking and you cannot get them to breathe after doing the Heimlich maneuver, then you should take a pocket knife or even a ballpoint pen and pop a hole in their trachea. I remember that clear as day, this was in the 1970s when I was in Boy scouts, and they had us feel right right above the breastbone and that was where you had to cut the hole. And when I tell people this they think I’m crazy, but what is the alternative? The person dies!

Probably the worst example of someone not doing that was a video I saw a few years ago of two cops trying to arrest a guy for selling pot and the pot seller swallowed one of his pot baggies and right away he made motions he was choking. So the cops gave him the Heimlich maneuver over and over, nothing happened, he still couldn’t breathe. So what did they do? Incredibly they stood around and waited for the ambulance and by the time the ambulance came it was too late, he died, they couldn’t revive him. All they had to do was that emergency tracheotomy which baffles me when it comes to Joan Rivers....What exactly did this doctor do while she was suffocating? Very fishy story.

I heard after the investigation that the procedure should have been done at a hospital.... I do feel she MAY have been Breitbarted due to her open statement about Israel defending itself against Hamas. No One really knows but it is disturbing an 81 year old would get a procedure she never signed for being put under, that’s questionable, and gives the family the right to sue??
