Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 2 September 2002


Re: To prevent and to eliminate, without apologies

Professors for a Strong Israel demands that the political leadership, in particular the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister, give full support to the officers and soldiers of the IDF, who stand in the front line of this Oslo War that was forced on Israel by the Palestinian Terror Authority. We demand that this support be expressed in the wake of military operations that cause deaths among the human shields employed by Arafat's terrorists, whether by accident or not. Such deaths are not a fitting subject for commissions of inquiry; we expect the Defense Minister rather to investigate how many citizens and soldiers paid with their lives for unnecessary hesitation and delay in carrying out prevention and elimination operations.

We send the IDF, its officers, and its soldiers heartfelt congratulations on a job well done, and best wishes for a New Year of success and security.
