Bar-Ilan Lecturer Indicted for Plotting Mass Murder of Arabs

A lecturer from Bar-Ilan University, approximately 60 years old, has been indicted for allegedly planning to establish an armed Jewish infrastructure to carry out attacks against Arab communities across Israel, potentially leading to mass murder. The indictment details a plan the lecturer called "A People Will Do Transfer," which aimed to recruit 72 Jewish activists, arm them, and conduct raids on mixed cities and Arab towns. The suspect reportedly began planning this scheme in February 2023 and continued to advance it until his arrest about a month ago.

New details from the investigation reveal the lecturer attempted to recruit his own daughter, asking her to connect him with her friends, described as "Hilltop Youth," whom he wished to enlist. She refused. He also reportedly tried to contact Moshe Feiglin and a candidate from the Zehut party to gain their support.

During meetings with potential collaborators, the lecturer allegedly used the alias "Menachem Livneh" and referred to recruits as "the real brothers in arms." His stated goal was to expel all Arabs from Judea and Samaria and to drive them to Jordan, Lebanon, and Gaza. He also planned lethal attacks against Arabs within Israel.

Handwritten documents seized from the lecturer detail his disturbing plan, including potential actions in isolated locations and even a hospital, specifying the means to be used. The documents also provide guidance on how recruits should conceal their identities to avoid association with Hilltop Youth activists. Another document outlined a plan for cooperation with soldiers who would allegedly open fire simultaneously at multiple locations against Arabs in Judea and Samaria.
