Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 9 January 2002


Re: Protest vs. silence

While Professors for a Strong Israel disapproves of the language directed by MK Zvi Hendel at the American ambassador, we condemn the gross interference in Israel's internal affairs that has become habitual for the ambassador. We condemn as well the silence of the Foreign Ministry in this regard, which is what caused Mr. Hendel's frustration.

We reject the self-righteous mouthings of the extreme leftists who characterize Mr. Hendel's comments as antisemitic. They themselves turn a blind eye to Palestinian fascism and advocate a racist transfer of Jews out of their homes in the heart of their own country. Except for Mr. Hendel, there is a conspiracy of silence.
