HATE HITLIST

Terror group offers $100k bounties for killing Jewish academics

An Iran-backed hate group is offering rewards as high as $100,000 for the murders of Israeli researchers, including some in the US, on the website of “The Punishment for Justice Movement.” It offers $50,000 for killing any of the 40 Jewish academics it names, and even lists their home and email addresses, phone numbers and social media accounts. It promises “double rewards” for eliminating any of five Israel government officials.

Bounties as high as $100,000 are being offered for the murders of dozens of Israeli researchers, including some in the US, on the website of a hateful anti-Zionist group.

The Punishment for Justice Movement website offers between $50,000 for murdering one of the Jewish academics listed — and twice that amount for the killing of “special targets” — claiming the high-achieving researchers are complicit in child murder.

Home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and social media accounts were listed for at least 40 academics, according to The Jerusalem Post.

The website offered $2,000 as reward for installing protest signs in front of homes, $5,000 for sending information on targets, $20,000 for burning down homes or cars and $10,000 for “eliminating the target.”

It was exposed by Israeli media on Friday and temporarily went offline before the site returned Saturday night.

Five of the individuals targeted work for the CERN Institute, home to the world’s largest particle accelerator in Switzerland.

Punishment for Justice claimed the targets were justified because, “Instead of using science to serve humanity, these killers used their knowledge to kill innocent people and children by spreading weapons of mass destruction to the Israeli military.”

“Double rewards” were offered for five Israeli government officials, according to the website.

The organization instructs assassins to use fake names and secure communication before try

ing to collect the bounties.

The website was established in August and appears to be based in Drenthe, Netherlands, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Israel’s Mossad spy agency has launched a probe, Ynet reported, with officials suspecting that Iran is behind the website.

Oxford University computer science professor Michael Bronstein didn’t “give a damn” about the bounty on his head and suggested the site was run by “nutcases who have a lot of free time.”

“I was profoundly disturbed and shocked that my head was valued so cheaply, considering my standing in the academic community,” he bravely joked in a statement to The Jerusalem Post.

“I find anything below a sevenfigure highly offensive,” he said.

“I am however consoled that I am at least in good company.”

Others on the list included CERN researchers and affiliates Arie Ruzin, a professor of electrical engineering from Connecticut; Erez Etzion, a physicist living in California; Zvi Hirsh Citron, a nuclear and particle physicist on Long Island; Yotam Soreq, a particle physicist in Israel; and Atilim Günes Baydin, a computer scientist in the United Kingdom.
