Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 5 July 2000


Re: Not a summit, but an abyss

The Prime Minister is ready to proceed in the false "Peace Process" even without a majority in the Knesset. In light of this, Professors for a Strong Israel wishes to counteract the brainwashing of the electorate by translating his government's Newspeak.
  1. It's not a summit, but an abyss. When the Prime Minister has to beg the terrorist chief to join him at a summit, it proves that he is going not to gain peace but to surrender to violent blackmail.
  2. Not a window of opportunity, and not a friend. There has never been an American president who has so advanced the Arab cause and wrought such serious damage to Israel's. The fact that Clinton's presidency is nearing its end is an argument against holding a summit, not in favor of it.
  3. Enlightenment, or hypocrisy? Surrender to Shas blackmail (while ranting against it) and surrender to PLO blackmail (while denying its existence) point to a lack of backbone, or of discernment, or of both.
  4. Is it equality before the law, when the government turns a blind eye to the Wakf's rampage on the Temple Mount, and to the mass of illegal construction in Jerusalem and elsewhere? Is a building moratorium for Jews alone?
  5. Not openness, and not free press. The Government's conspiracy of silence regarding the doings on the Temple Mount, together with the inactivity of the "investigative media," point to the mobilization of "the watchdog of democracy" for the sake of activity that is the opposite of democracy.
  6. Not sanity, but madness. What else can you call him who gives his enemies his minuscule land and his vanishing water, while planning to import sand from Cyprus and water from Turkey?
  7. Not separation, but transfer of Jews or their abandonment. In the plans for "separating" Jews and Arabs, has anybody considered moving Arab settlements as well, or placing them in imminent danger of invasion and destruction by its neighbors?
  8. Not demilitarization, but an armed enemy, whose policemen are soldiers, and whose armed strength already dictates Israel's diplomatic and defense policy.
  9. It's not peace, it's war.
