Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 12 July 1995


Re: Illegal orders

Professors for a Strong Israel calls upon the Government of Israel:
  1. To refrain from giving soldiers unethical and illegal orders to banish Jews from their homes and their settlements for the sole reason that they are Jews.
  2. To refrain from placing IDF soldiers and officers in a position where they must choose between obeying orders to abandon to the enemy bases and positions which were meant to protect the citizens of Israel in their land, and mass disobedience to these orders.
  3. To begin discussions with all sectors of the Israeli public in order to avert the awful danger of civil strife.
The group supports the call of Israel's Rabbis to the people, and their avowed aim of averting civil unrest.
