Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press - 12 December 2004
Re: Perverted democracy
- Prime Minister Sharon is disengaging: advancing the program for eviction of Jews from
their homes, rejecting Zionist and Jewish values and the platform on which he was elected;
- Finance Minister Netanyahu is capitulating yet again: sacrificing his economic program
on the altar of "disengagement," violating the economic principles he has been
preaching all along;
- Opposition leader Peres is running wild, already promising further retreats;
- The public has no idea of the price in security, in money, and in social costs that
will be exacted by the program of Sharon's new leftist government.
Professors for a Strong Israel rejects this perverted form of government under which
a Prime Minister who was elected on a clear platform survives in office at the mercy of the opposition, who allow him to continue on condition that he implement their dangerous policies.
We further declare that while the program of flight and eviction may be legal, it is wholly illegitimate. If another state were to ban Jewish residents and send an army to expel them, how would we react? If another state were to tax its citizens in order to fund this expulsion, how would we react? If another state were to give such strong support to terrorism, how would we react?
