Dear Michael,
I saw you at the release of Vanunu a year ago in April. Indeed, we
stood next to each other, but you did not recognize me. Shamir was also
there as was Uri Davis and Paul Eisen, our UK director.
We do not believe Shamir is a racist or a Mossad agent or many of the
other things he has been called. Marc Ellis (one of our former and
founding Board members) is an avid reader and admirer of Shamir. Nine
of the 10 Jewish Board members also do not object to Shamir or his being
a part of DYR. Uri Davis agreed to join the Board if only to eliminate
Shamir, but that is another story.
We do not want to lose your wife from our Board. She was one of the
founding members and she has helped us greatly over the years. I hope
that you (plural) will reconsider.
Best regards,
Dan

To the Directors of DYR
We have been supporters of DYR from its very fisrt days, and identified
fully with its goals and objectives. During a recent tour in the US, we
discovered that Israel Shamir has been included in the advisory board of
DYR.
There is no room for a racist in an institution aimed to fight for the
memory of the Deir Yassin victims of Ethnic cleansing and massacre. We
therefore ask you to clarify whether or not Israel Shamir is indeed part
of DYR. If it is the case and you have no intention to exclude him in
order to keep the moral integrity of DYS, we will have to disconect
ourselves from it.
Please forward this letter to all the members of the Advisory board.
