Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press - 1 April 2004
Re: Black flag, white flag
Professors for a Strong Israel rejects absolutely Prime Minister Sharon's disengagement plan and the referendum that is meant to overcome opposition to it. We hold that:
- The ethnic cleansing of Jews from their homes in their homeland is both unethical and unfeasible.
- The disengagement plan encourages terror when terror should be fought, and thus increases the peril of Jews everywhere.
- The referendum is nothing but a maneuver designed to bypass the government, the Knesset, the Likud delegation in the Knesset, and the Likud Central Committee -- the very bodies and institutions that are empowered to take decisions such as this. This is an attempt to impose a policy that the Prime Minister is unable to explain and to gain approval that is unavailable through ordinary democratic means.
Professors for a Strong Israel will enlist its members in a publicity campaign against the Prime Minister's anti-Zionist plan, a plan that raises the black flag of illegality alongside the white flag of surrender.
