PSI (Professors for a Strong Israel) calls upon Prime Minister Sharon to resign, based on two findings in the most recent Geocartographic Institute poll. The survey indicates that support for Sharon's expulsion plan has dropped drastically, and that a large majority of Likud members see the plan as standing in contradiction to the Likud Party platform. PSI also calls on the volunteers in the anti-expulsion campaign to "redouble their efforts."
Former Knesset Speaker Dov Shilansky has joined the ranks of those working against the Gaza expulsion plan. He made the announcement this morning, saying, "I stood by the side of [Likud founder] Menachem Begin at many fateful hours for the Nation of Israel, and I can say that he never would have believed that his party would so vulgarly trample the ideals for which it stood. As a Holocaust survivor, I vowed that I would never return to a ghetto."
Labor MK Eitan Cabel, the man whose lawsuit led to the silencing of Arutz-7 Radio, has now turned to the Supreme Court for help in impeding the campaign against Sharon's unilateral disengagement/evacuation plan. Cabel says that the Yesha Council and regional councils in Judea, Samaria and Gaza should be prevented from taking part in the funding of the campaign. The MK maintains that a portion of the Yesha budgets come from public funds, and should therefore not be used for political purposes. Adi Mintz of the Yesha Council responded, "We are willing to give up on [government-funded] sidewalks in front of our homes, as long as we still have homes."
