In a nation ruled by terror. this appalling crime is not so much a matter for law enforcement officials as a message deliberately sent. The atrocity at Aleppo is only the most recent outrage perpetrated against the Syrian Jewish community. They live in constant fear of harassment and assault. yet they cannot leave. Jews in Syria are forbidden to emigrate. a denial of a basic right recognized by civilized nations the world over and one enjoyed by all other groups in Syria. In March 1974. two Jewish men were murdered and four young Jewish women were raped and killed after attempting to flee Syria for Lebanon. Also Jews are the object of official discrimination in Syria.
