We may never know which actions help the most. so we must barrage the Soviet leadership from as many directions as possible. During this tense period. we must do our utmost not to allow Soviet Jews to become pawns in the game of politics and diplomacy. Through our actions. we must make clear that our opposition to Soviet policy is steadfast. and that further persecution will only strengthen our determination. Any lag in our support could give the Soviets an excuse to tighten emigration restrictions further. Our responsibility is immense. but the cost in human suffering here is too great to let emotions over the airline incident sway our judgment at the risk of baiting the Russians into harsher policies.
