Letter from Richard Sherman, Florida, to NY Daily News Voicers re Arab Rejection of Statehood

Dear Editor,

Voicer John A Mackinnon ignores the fact that on 11/29/47 the UN offered the Arabs an independent state with full autonomy. (" Illegitimate Inception") The Arabs rejected it because Jews would still exist. The same reason that Arabs have rejected numerous offers of an independent state since.

The Arabs have made clear time and again since 1937 that a " two state solution" means 1. a state with no Jews and 2. a state that is judenrein. See the unrevoked Article 7 of the Hamas Charter which demands the murder of every jew on earth and the unrevoked annihilation of the Jews clauses in the PLO charter, the enabling document of the Palestinian Authority. The latter in Article 33 requiring a 2/3 vote in writing for revocation which has never occured. There is no provision for oral revocation, not by Yasir Arafat nor anyone else.

Richard Sherman, Florida
