Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 5 November 2006


Re: Hollow leadership, indeed

Author-politician David Grossman yesterday characterized the military and political leadership of the country as "hollow." Professors for a Strong Israel agrees with this assessment, albeit for different reasons than Grossman. The way this country is run, and in particular the way the war in the Gaza Strip is being run, is a continuation of the fiasco whose dimensions were made obvious by the second Lebanon war. The incompetence by which the terrorists trapped in the Bet Hanoun mosque were allowed to escape is a wonderful example of how this hollow leadership functions, whether the cause was a screwup by the local military commanders or a political directive to let the terrorists go, to let more citizens be murdered by these gangsters, merely to preserve the mosque building. The hollow pyramid of power needs to be cleaned out, starting at the top.
