Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 3 March 2002


Re: Terrorists at Hebrew University?

The State of Israel is at war with the Palestinian Terror Authority. Thus it is incredible that agents of this Authority are invited to take part in a conference at the Hebrew University, in Israel's capital. This is to happen this Tuesday and Wednesday, with the participation of ministers of the state! What we have here is not a matter of academic freedom -- it is a matter of sane behavior in wartime.

Professors for a Strong Israel has called the attention of the Prime Minister and of the Minister for Internal Security to this conference, and demanded that the government prevent the entrance of Arafat's agents into Jerusalem; we have also asked that the government act to prevent Ministers Peres, Meridor, and Livni from appearing at a conference with these enemy agents.
