Professors for a Strong Israel
Statement to the Press - 31 May 2005
Re: The IDF must not win this one
Professors for a Strong Israel welcomes the new Chief of Staff,
Lieutenant General Dan Halutz, and
wishes him well.
We wish him the wisdom needed to lead the IDF to victory in the Oslo War,
a war that was forced on Israel in large part by the mistakes of her
leaders.
We hope that Gen. Halutz will make clear to his superiors that the
mission of the IDF is to defend the State of Israel and its citizens against
their enemy - and NOT to give the enemy a "tail wind" by expelling
Jewish citizens from their homes in their own land.
We expect that Gen. Halutz will present the political echelon with
a professional - not a political - assessment that states that expulsion
and destruction of Jewish towns stand in contradiction to the IDF's purpose
and values; and that the "supreme national mission" of Israel's leaders
in these hard days is simply unfeasible. As we have stated before,
directing the IDF to attack the citizens is a despicable declaration of
an illegal war, that the IDF must not be allowed to win.
General Halutz will not find his glory on the path of Transfer!
The transfer will not pass!!!
