Government intimidation and persecution of the approximately 2.500 Iraqi Jews is a blight on the conscience of the world. Economic deprivation and public executions are the weapons of the Iraqi Government. Iraqi Jews are denied the right to earn a decent living. Employers are pressured to discharge Jewish employees. movement is restricted. and Jews are not even permitted to have a telephone in their homeseven if they could afford one. Worst of all. Jews are not permitted to emigrate In spite of an announcement by the Iraqi President that there are no restrictions on emigration. Mr. Speaker. it is difficult for me to analyze the objectives of the Iraqi Government In its policies toward the Jews In Iraq.
