Professors for a Strong Israel is a group of academics in Israel.[1] They describe themselves as a "non-partisan organization of academics united by a shared concern for the security and the Jewish character of the State of Israel."[2]
The group was founded in 1988 but stepped up its activities after the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.[3]
They are opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state[4] and consider the removal of Israelis from Gaza to have been ethnic cleansing.[5]
Notable members include Nobel Prize winner Robert Aumann and Knesset member Arie Eldad.
