Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 11 December 2005

Re: Danger: Sharonocracy!

Professors for a Strong Israel is not surprised at the fact that Shaul Mofaz, the failure masquerading as Defense Minister, has moved to Sharon's refugee camp. We are concerned, rather, by the development of Sharonocracy, this rule by an autocrat surrounded by lieutenants and others who feed at his trough. The trampling of democracy through the destruction of political parties is but one of the facets of Sharonocracy.

Sharonocratic rule has dragged Israel down to a low point unprecedented in its history. Sharon was elected to fight terror, but instead used the votes of his supporters to implement the policies of his opponents. This alone disqualifies him from continuing as Prime Minister.

Professors for a Strong Israel sees the present political struggle as a struggle for the continued existence of Israel as a state that is Zionist, Jewish, and democratic. Sharonocracy and democracy cannot coexist.
