Yet. their government has established an unfortunate policy of denying these Jews the right to be repatriated to what they believe to be their ancestral homeland. In response to this obstacle. many determined Falashas have risked their lives to escape Ethiopia. Their paths have led them to refugee camps in neighboring countries and eventually to Israel. Today. several thousand Falashas are living in Israel and countless others are en route to join them. I admire these people for their determination to leave Ethiopia and live in Israel. I support a course of action to assist these Jews in their desire to emigrate and urge government officials. here in the United States and abroad. to work together to assist this imperiled Jewish community. I hope that through the efforts of the U.S. Congress and human rights organizations to call attention to the plight of Ethiopian Jews. one day soon the Falashas will be safely resettled in Israel.* 0l 1630
