Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 2 February 2004


Re: Who wants to eliminate terror? Not Arik!

Ariel Sharon has done a complete about-face since he called for war until victory over terrorism. Today he proposes to destroy Jewish villages in a process that is nothing other than a surrender to terrorism. If any government in the world were to declare some part of its country closed to Jewish residency, it would be condemned as racism. How much more so does this apply to a Prime Minister who proposes to make parts of the Land of Israel Judenrein!

Professors for a Strong Israel calls on Ministers and Members of Knesset from the National Camp, and especially on those of the Likud, to end their silence and stand up to the Prime Minister's dangerous ideas. It doesn't matter whether these have their origin in pressure from the White House or from the State Attorney. Cleansing parts of the Land of Israel of its Jewish inhabitants is both immoral and impractical, whoever the Prime Minister and whatever the motives behind his plot.
