When Shukairy admitted his pre six-day war call throwing "the Jews into sea"

As printed in 1970, A. Shukairy (Shukeiri, Shuqayri) didn't deny it, but explained that this was the official Arab outlook as a while. Not just his alone. This statement by Shukairy, makes most sense:

The New Middle East, Issues 16-39 - New Middle East 1970 - p.4
Mr Shukairy claims that when in his days of glory he publicly advocated the liquidation of Israel and "sweeping of the Jews into the sea", he reflected the accepted official Arab outlook, an outlook that was changed only by the outcome of the war of 1967.
Mr Shukairy is indignant that such extremism should be fathered on him alone ...
