The submission, signed by Hans Larsson in Solna, among others, is recognized by the Jewish Youth Association in Sweden.

“DN publishes submissions that call for the annihilation of the world's only Jewish state. Inexplicable that DN chooses to publish something that is overshadowed by anti-Semitism and factual errors. To show on different pages is one thing, to spread extremism another,” writes the association on X.< /p>

Below the submission – which has now been depublished from DN's website – can be read in its entirety.

Israel has used up the trust that the UN gave 1947

SUBMITTER. Israel repeatedly violates international law and disregards law, morality and humanitarian considerations. Israel has thus used up the trust that the UN gave in 1947, writes Hans Larsson.

Sweden should act so that Resolution 181, which the UN General Assembly adopted in 1947, is declared invalid. Israel should be dissolved as a state, the territory returned to the Palestinians and the Israelis incorporated as a minority among other minorities in the country of Palestine.

This because Israel repeatedly violates international law, disregards law, morality and humanitarian considerations and for long ago used up the trust that the UN gave to statehood.

Now Israel has again attacked Lebanon, while the genocide in Gaza continues and reprisals against Palestinians and illegal settlements continue in the West Bank.

Indiscriminate bombings of schools and hospitals, murders of journalists, aid workers and UN staff, total indifference to civilian casualties – how can the world community tolerate this?

Add to that all the crimes against humanity such as the mass killings in Sabra and Shatila, the repression of minorities, the occupation of the Golan Heights and more.

Resolution 181 was a historic, catastrophic mistake. Time to correct it now.

Hans Larsson, Solna
