Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 2 September 1997

Re: This is Our Land vs. This is Our Strike

Only by chance was the verdict in the Zo Artzenu (This is Our Land) trial announced on the day that the Histadrut labor federation blocked many intersections in the country and disrupted the lives of millions.

Professors for a Strong Israel calls upon the Attorney General to prosecute those who cause immense damage to the economy and to the workers only in order to attack the Government and to protect the excessive benefits of the employees of the large monopolies.

We also call upon him to investigate the appointment of former Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair and the motives behind his actions, especially in connection with Zo Artzenu, whose members engaged in legitimate protest against dangerous policy.
