Bar-Ilan Lecturer's Extreme Ideology Revealed in Terror Plot Documents

Documents written by a Bar-Ilan University mathematics lecturer, who is accused of planning a long-term terror program against Arabs, reveal his extremist ideology and messages. The lecturer described Israel as "on the verge of destruction" and warned of an "existential threat," advocating for the "expulsion of our enemies, all Israeli Arabs and Bedouins, to Jordan, the Gaza Strip, and Lebanon." He referred to Israeli Arabs as a "weight on our necks" and claimed they were part of an "(small) army that has narrowed our lines inward towards destruction."

These writings, detailing his plan codenamed "E"T" (meaning "a people will do a transfer"), were penned in dense handwriting and exposed his incitement and recruitment efforts. He expressed concern about an "immediate, certain, and terrifying existential threat" that necessitated his plan. The lecturer also wrote that "dirty war requires an unusual act never before seen" and that "only here in the country are the settlements still stronger than the Palestinians, only a suicide of a people in a fighting and Zionist public and the end of the summary - go outside!!"

He further stated that Israel was "crumbling" and "on the verge of destruction with no savior," comparing the situation to mice surrounded by fire. He criticized the leadership and the world for weakness, attributing it to "big money, mainly Qatari." The lecturer believed his plan was essential for Israel's survival and security.

The indictment against the lecturer, a man in his 60s from Petah Tikva, details a sophisticated terror plot spanning over three years. He allegedly planned to establish 12 terror cells with 72 operatives to simultaneously attack mixed cities and Arab villages, aiming to instill fear and cause the mass flight of Arab citizens, Bedouins, and residents of East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

As part of his preparations, the lecturer conducted reconnaissance, gathered intelligence, and scouted targets, including the village of Tuba Zangaria. He attempted to recruit additional activists and even approached Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, resorting to threats and blackmail when his overtures were rejected. To evade law enforcement, he used handwritten documents, pseudonyms, and wore disguises during meetings.
