There are. moreover. especially disturbing reports that increasing numbers of Jews are being detained and tortured in retaliation for the higher number of attempted flights across the border into Israel. If given the opportunity. the overwhelming majority of Jews would leave Syria. The resolution before the House today affirms the fundamental right of freedom of emigration. and urges Syria to be fully responsive to the desire of its Jewish community to be able to exercise this right. I urge my colleagues to support this resolution. On August 27. the California Legislature completed action on a similar resolution regarding Syrian Jewry.
