TEHRAN — Iranian students are offering rewards totaling a million dollars for the execution of three top Israeli military officers over the deadly strikes on Gaza, and they are encouraging fellow Iranians to donate their kidneys to raise the funds, the student news agency ISNA reported on Monday.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Mossad spy agency director Meir Dagan and military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin are the targets of the bounty. They are blamed for last month's assassination of Hezbollah mastermind Imad Mughniyeh.

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 Defense Minister Barak is set at $400,000 while those for Dagan and Yadlin are $300,000 each, AFP reports. It is not clear where the funds will come from.

"These sums will be given to any person or their families who could punish these individuals in any part of the world," the organizers 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 stenciled onto the foreheads of the trio, according to AFP.

Hopefully, they’ll donate two kidneys apiece.

I don't know...with people throwing kidneys every which way, not to mention their propensity to blow themselves to smithereens, I'd say it's more a Religion of Piece.

Its certainly NOT a religion of Whorled Peas... but perhaps IS a religion of Pees (on US).

Aren’t these the same students who its claimed love the west and want to see the Mullahs overthrown? If so, why am I not surprised that they haven’t gotten around to any sort of revolution.

I'm sure that if we just sit down and talk things over with these people, everything will work out fine. They're just like us after all.

Brain donors would raise more money, but they sure don’t have any to spare.

Why are you surprised? If people are willing to be homicide bombers, why is it surprising that they may donate organs?

[G Larry]

If they each donated TWO kidneys, it might be worth considering.

I think I would have to turn that kidney offer down...
