Letter from Richard Sherman to the Editor, Globe and Mail, re Former Canadian Diplomats Urging Ottawa to Sanction Israel

Dear Letter to the Editor/Op Ed:

Clearly over 200 Canadian diplomats are infected with Zionophobia and are thereby wilfully blind to the United Nations Charter, an international treaty, to which Canada is a signatory. (" Former Senior Diplomats Urge Ottawa to Impose Sanctions on Israel")

The signature of Canada on the United Nations Charter means that everyone of these Canadian diplomats is required to embrace Article 80 of the United Nations Charter which INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE the 1922 League Nations Mandate for Palestine and the 1920 San Remo Agreement and declares all of what is Israel including Judea, Samaria and Gaza to be the 3500 year old indigenous RECONSTITUTED homeland of the Jewish people and the land as sovereign Jewish territory.

The current hypocritical position of these 200+ diplomats contravenes the United Nations Charter and makes Canada's signature on international treaties absolutely worthless.

It is Israel's position that complies with Article 80 of the United Nations Charter.

See: " A False Start in the Middle East", Eugene Rostow, Dean of Yale Law School( 1955-1965), Under Secretary of State in a Democratic Administration( 1965-1969), Commentary Magazine, October 1989;

See also: " Article 80 and the Recognition of a Palestinian State", Howard Grief, The Algemeiner, 9/22/11;

See also: " The Jewish People's Rights to the Land of Israel. Canadians For Israel's Legal Rights", Salomon Benzimra, 2018.

Erasing existing international law to prejudice the Jewish people as the Nazis did does not change international law whether proclaimed by 200+ Zionophobic Canadian diplomats or Joseph Goebbels.
