Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press - 15 August 2005
Re: Post-democracy
Professors for a Strong Israel warns against the apparent slide of the State of Israel into
a state of post-democracy. The following are the danger signs:
- A state that sends its army to expel its citizens from their homes.
- A state whose parliament fails to reflect the opinions of the voters.
- A state in which the Prime Minister, the head of the ruling party, carries out the
policies of the opposition.
- A state in which the army, the police, the judiciary, and the media are all "mobilized"
for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.
- A state that puts its media at the disposal of a foreign power so that it can
interfere in its political processes.
Professors for a Strong Israel calls on all who fear for the future of democracy and
the quality of government in Israel to join the struggle for the country's future as
a Zionist, Jewish, and democratic state.
