The Y Net News (Israeli) website reports that the Palestinian Liberation Organization's (PLO) Ambassador to the U.S. Maen Areikat said today (September 14, 2011) that any future Palestinian state must be free of Jews.
Areikat declared that the PLO seeks a secular state, but that Palestinians need separation to work on their own national identity.
Elliot Abrams -- a former U.S. National Security Council official -- said such a plan would make Palestine the first nation to officially prohibit Jews since Nazi Germany, which sought a country that was cleansed of Jews.
Abrams described the demand as a "despicable form of anti-Semitism."
