Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 3 May 2004


Re: Following the Likud referendum

Professors for a Strong Israel congratulates all those who worked to bring about the impressive victory over the Prime Minister's withdrawal plan in the Likud referendum -- ministers, MK's, the Yesha Council, the extra-parliamentary organizations, the thousands of activists and of course the hundred thousand Likud members who voted. Naturally, we realize that this was only one battle; the campaign for the restoration of Jewish and Zionist values will yet be a long one. We remind our friends and allies that it is not yet time to rest on their laurels. The effort to win the hearts of the nation, successful so far, must continue.

We call on the Prime Minister to respect the Likud platform and the will of his voters, as displayed democratically yesterday. We call on him to return to his old nature and to his movement, and to lead the state and the nation to victory in the Oslo War. If this is not his way then he must draw personal conclusions and follow his policy down to oblivion.
