Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 22 March 2006


Re: Kadima and bird flu

The Olmert government's handling of the bird flu crisis shows lack of experience, of professionalism, and of leadership. It places the entire population of Israel in danger. Apparently, political considerations are preventing Olmert and his cohorts from declaring the infection to be a natural disaster and calling a state of emergency.

Nonetheless, the danger posed by Kadima's rule is not that of a natural disaster but of a man-made one, easily foreseen. Professors for a Strong Israel warns against handing over the state to Kadima and Olmert, a band that will handle threats to our existence without experience, without professionalism, and without leadership.
