Iranian Justice Seeking Students
want your kidneys "for the cause":
TEHRAN (AFP) — Iranian hardline students have offered rewards totalling a million dollars for the "execution" of three Israeli military leaders over the deadly strikes on Gaza, the student news agency ISNA reported on Monday.
The group is even encouraging Iranians to donate their kidneys to increase the bounties on the heads of Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak, Mossad spy agency director Meir Dagan and military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin.
The rewards were announced by the Justice Seeking Students Group on Sunday at a ceremony in Tehran entitled "setting the bounty for the revolutionary execution of the designers of state terrorism," ISNA said.
The bounty for Barak is set at 400,000 dollars while those for Dagan and Yadlin are 300,000 each, the report said. It is not clear where the money is coming from.
"These sums will be given to any person or their families who could punish these individuals in any part of the world," the organisers of the event announced.
Pictures taken at the ceremony showed a banner bearing pictures of the three Israelis against the backdrop of an Israeli flag, with rifle sights stencilled onto the foreheads of the trio.
"Israel must be wiped off the map," read a quote from Iran's revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini printed on the top of the banner.
The event in Tehran was concluded by organisers distributing application forms for volunteers to donate kidneys to increase the bounties for the three men.
"This is one of the very good moves that shows we are ready to sacrifice our own health to support Palestinians and annihilate the heads of the Zionist regime," one of the event's organisers, Forouz Rajaifar, was quoted as saying.
Sheesh. Are the organizers donating their own kidneys?
Why not do the world a favor and just set each other on fire in protest?

They could be twice as zealous by donating two kidneys each!

You know, I have to be really careful not to simply scan your blog, Linda. For a second, I thought that was a post about Hillary Clinton.

And here I thought that the young iranians were not like their leaders and wanted nothing but peace. They don't sound all that peaceful to me.

Now, now...Don't go all Auschwitz-Birkenau. Genocide isn't a good look for Jews.

Lchaim!....it's not genocide if they do it to themselves...is it?
Advertising is what we need. If they hate Israel and their puny, repressed, hateful lives so much....Two Kidneys equals Seventy Two Virgins.
That's a 36:1 return on their investment. Seems like a good deal in their backward world....
Screw 'em.

Is there some way to invest in dialysis services in Iran?
