    Lots of thumbs up for the act of voting on changing it but not a peep on how it has been changed. Know why? Because it never was changed, the PA themselves admit that and their own website has the unchanged charter to this day.

    This is from their official website.

    " Amendments

    In a letter to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat stated that those articles which denied Israel's right to exist or are inconsistent with the PLO's new commitments to Israel following their mutual reognition, were no longer valid (see Oslo peace process).

    The PNC met in a special session on 26 April 1996 to consider the issue of amending the Charter and adopted the following decision:

    A. The Palestinian National Charter is hereby amended by canceling the articles that are contrary to the letters exchanged the P.L.O. and the Government of Israel 9-10 September 1993.

    B. Assigns its legal committee with the task of redrafting the Palestinian National Charter in order to present it to the first session of the Palestinian Central Council.

    The decision was adopted by a vote of: 504 in favor, 54 against, and 14 abstentions.

    On January 1998, Yasser Arafat sent a letter to US President, Bill Clinton, outlining the implications of this decision in terms of the specific articles of the Charter that were nullified or amended as a result of that decision. In December 1998, both the PLO Executive Committee and the PLO Central Council reaffirmed this decision"

    This is also on Israeli foreign ministry website.

    Somebody better tell the PA that.

    ""It will remain as is. It won't be subject to discussion," Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior Fatah leader, said.

    The charter calls for armed struggle "until the Zionist entity is wiped out and Palestine is liberated"
