The recent creation of a Soviet AntiZionist Committee and the publication of antiSemitic literature are part of a wellorchestrated campaign to weaken the will and the spirit of the Jews of the Soviet Union. Innocent victims of prejudice are being harassed. arrested. imprisoned. exiled. and tortured. We cannot sit idly by and ignore this willful destruction of a people. in much the same way as an earlier generation watched the destruction of European Jewry in the Holocaust. I call upon the Soviet authorities to release Iosif Begun and the other imprisoned Jewish citizens of the Soviet Union. to allow them to peacefully and expeditiously emigrate to Israel and to fullfill the timehonored Jewish dream of "Next Year in Jerusalem."e
