Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 28 August 2006

Re: We can't afford the luxury

The Prime Minister of Kadima failed in his direction of the second Lebanon war, and now he is trying to paper over the debacle with boards of inquiry of limited authority, avoiding a state commission of inquiry.

Israel cannot afford the luxury of continuing with a failure as Prime Minister. Professors for a Strong Israel declares once more that Ehud Olmert, together with the Foreign Minister and the Defense Minister, must be replaced immediately. This is essential so that reconstruction and preparation for continued hostilities can begin, instead of a process of whitewash. We also call on the members of these boards of inquiry to refuse to join in Olmert's spectacle.
