Dear Editor,

Josef Federman in Israel Threatens Tough Economic Sanctions [Feb 17, 2006 4:21am], states that “The Palestinians claim both areas [Gaza and the West Bank], separated by Israeli territory, for a future state.” But the voted-in party, Hamas, claim is for an Islamic state in area which includes Israel. The Hamas charter is about doing away with Israel. This is the reason why Israel has put the sanctions in place. Please correct this – it is not clear.

Thanks,

Michael Berenhaus
