Begin criticizes the Israeli government for not acting to deal with the growing threat of German scientists building missiles for the Egyptians. He cites this inaction as emboldening Germany to take greater steps in helping Egypt, which Begin says will destroy Israel if not checked.
Begin sharply criticizes the Israeli government for continued inaction in the face of the growing threat of German missile scientists working for Egypt. In particular, he accuses the government of hiding from the Israeli public the extent of the threat.
A correspondent from the Jewish Herald quotes Begin drawing attention to the Government tendency to attempt to muzzle Parliamentary debates on the matters of vital public concern by the expedient of making a statement from the rostrum of the Knessetand refusing to have any further discussion. Begin is quoted specifically speaking about Nasser’s intentions to annihilate Israel. He concludes that the Government has prevented the Opposition from discussing Nasser’s plans. Begin concludes saying that if the Government does not speak up, the Opposition will.
A statement about the phenomenon of German scientists helping Egypt to develop weapons for use against Israel. Germany has dragged its feet and not taken any action against these scientists, which leads begin to conclude that at the least the German government is tacitly acquiescing to their activities. This is especially egregious after the Holocaust. The free world must pressure Germany to take action against the scientists in Egypt.
Begin writes about the threat Egypt poses on Israel’s security because of its development of weapons of mass destruction, with the assistance of German scientists. Begin first speaks about how these German scientists assist Nasser. Additionally, if Germany passes a law against German scientists in Egypt, it will not apply to those already there. Begin reassures his readers, though, by explaining that Israel will win in a battle against Egypt, even if Egypt is supported by a United Arab front. However, he does express concern about Israel only having conventional weapons to counter non-conventional weapons. He shifts to speak about how the Israeli Government has not acted against Germany and its scientists assisting Egypt. Begin concludes that the Government’s lack of action may lead to Herut demanding immediate elections, and not wait two more years.
