I am pleased to participate in this special tribute to the Falasha Jews of Ethiopia. The situation for this African minority has been extremely serious for many years and recognition of their hardships by the International community. especially by the United States. is vital to their struggle for religious and political freedom. As defenders of human rights. we must assist the Falasha Jews in their liberating efforts by calling on the Government of Ethiopia to put an end to Its disgraceful treatment of its people and to open the doors to emigration. Under the current Government of Ethiopia. the Falasha Jews are not allowed to practice Judaism or learn Hebrew. They are blatantly ostracised in their communities through expulsion from schools. and are the victims of frequent burglaries and physical attacks.
