Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 3 May 1999

Re: The hypocrisy of the Left

Professors for a Strong Israel condemns the arrogance of Tiki Dayan towards any group of Israelis who does not belong to the Ma'arach, as well as the support she has garnered from the self-styled "elite" that has mobilized in support of the leader of the Left. This behavior recurs frequently: Somebody attacks citizens holding an opposed political opinion, and then apologizes. Last year it was Assi Dayan who said "Go Bibinimat" (a crude pun in Russian) to the Prime Minister, and received a standing ovation from the "elite" audience.

We also reject the hypocrisy of the Left when they claim to be concerned about the feelings of the victims of Palestinian terror. Their campaign advertisements show again and again the White House ceremony in which the government of the Left surrendered to the leader of this terror. That "Black September" of 1993 led to the degradation of the power of Israeli deterrence, making possible the terrible increase in terrorist activity during the period of the Left's rule. It is Prime Minister Netanyahu's policies that have made the PLO/Hamas terror organizations understand that they will lose if they continue in terrorism.
