Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press -

Re: Don't give them contiguity!
Noting the dangerous decline in Israeli
power on all fronts, Professors for a Strong Israel
warns of the danger inherent in the Prime Minister's intention
of granting the Palestinian Authority territorial
contiguity.
As long as the cities already in Arab hands remain isolated
pockets, the danger they pose to Jews on both sides of the
"Green Line" is only moderate.
But the creation of Palestinian territorial contiguity
will come at the expense of turning Jewish towns into
islands in a hostile Arab sea and of detaching the Jordan
Valley from the Coastal Plain.
It will create the underpinnings of a Palestinian state,
a sure recipe for continual war in the western portion of
the Land of Israel.
