Anti-Israel org. places bounties on heads of Israeli academics for assassination

[canada-man]

When "anti-Zionism" means publishing home addresses and offering six-figure bounties for academics, complete with bonuses for arson, it seems the pursuit of "justice" has taken a rather... entrepreneurial turn. Quite the academic "hit list" they've curated.




Bounties for the murder of Israeli academics are being offered on an anti-Zionist group's website, with profiles and personal details of targets also provided to potential contract killers.

The Punishment for Justice Movement website offers $50000 for murdering a targeted Israeli academic, $100,000 for the murder of "special targets," and other financial awards for providing information on them or committing acts of intimidation.

The group lists the alleged home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts, and even identification numbers of hundreds of academics from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, Harvard University, and European Organization for Nuclear Research.


Some of those listed reside outside of Israel, including in the United States of America.

The website also details its "special targets," including Ben-Gurion University president Daniel Chamovitz, physicist and activist Shikma Bressler, and former Weizmann president Daniel Zajfman, offering enhanced bounties on their heads.

$1000 dollars is being offered to install notices in front of targets houses and protesting their "crimes," which is supposedly performing research that supports the IDF. $5000 is being offered for information about the target. $20,000 is being offered for the arson of their vehicles or houses. $50000 is being offered for their murder. The bounty for murder is doubled for special targets.

The website, which was established sometime in August and started being utilized in September, encourages supporters to register for secure communications to discuss "the contract."

This is "incitement to murder," and it is a felony. Whether these people can be identified and brought to a court with appropriate jurisdiction is a separate question, but a crime has certainly been committed. However, there are two more questions:

(1) An "anti-Zionist web site." But some of the targets, like Chaimovitz, are considered to be on the political right, whereas others, like Shikma Bressler, are very much on the left, and could well have sympathy for the people of Gaza. The site does not seem to be "anti-Zionist" as much as "anti-Israeli" whether Zionist or not.

(2) Why academics in particular? I cannot think of any other employed group of people, in Israel, that is more leftist. Not everyone, but the vast majority. To focus on military people or on religious Zionists or on Jews who live in the Biblical Judea & Samaria, makes political sense, but academics is the last group that should be targeted.



Everything here suggests that the incitement is not focused on the views of people, but simply trying to isolate Israel academically. I don't think that effort can succeed, because Israeli academics simply have too much to offer, but we'll see. Larry M. Goldstein

This is terrible. How can they do this to an innocent country like Israel? Israel would never assassinate their opponents.
