There are some misstatements in the letter above that need correcting.

1. Israel attacked its neighbors in 1967 and not vice-versa. It was the Arab Pearl Harbor.

2. International law does not allow a state to attack and occupy of its neighbors' lands. Following a war, original residents should be allowed to return to their homes and lands.

3. The Oslo Accord failed primarily because Israel would not deal with the settlements issue. It still continues to build them illegally.

4. The Palestinians (except Hamas) and the Arab States have repeatedly accepted and acknowledged the State of Israel within its original 1967 borders including some land swaps. Read John Kerry's recent statement.

5. Every country in the whole world has declared the Israeli settlements illegal. The recent unanimous UN Security Council resolution is a repetition of many such statements in the past by the UN and every US administration since 1967 when the settlements were started..
