Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 1 February 2006

Re: The great provocateur

Professors for a Strong Israel condemns the cruel expulsion policy of Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. We reject the conversion of the IDF and the police into militias in the service of a political party and a government that may be legal but lacks legitimacy. This government of ethnic cleansing, based on a single political party that nobody ever voted for, that has no Knesset majority, nevertheless acts with no checks and no brakes to endanger the fragile Israeli democracy. We warn the public of the great provocateur who does not hesitate to injure and trample members of Knesset in order to advance his political ambitions. We warn also of the service that this provocateur is doing for Israel's enemies and their interests.
