It has. with historical continuity. violated the rights of those Jews. It is a state that refuses to allow Jews to live in their homeland with dignity and with the freedom to be Jews. yet denies them the right to leave to fulfill these rights. It is a state that appears to have as its goal an end to emigration. The Soviet Union allowed 1.314 Jews to emigrate in 1983. the lowest annual total in 20 years and only half of the 2.688 emigrants who were permitted to leave in 1982. As of the end of June 1984. only 569 Jews were allowed to leave. The closing of synagogues. banning of Hebrew language instruction. the pervasive discrimination in education. employment and social life. and the confiscation of prayer books are all a part of a sinister state policy to destroy Jewish culture.
