The refuseniks cases are not simply isolated incidents. rather. they constitute a pattern of evidence of the total campaign being waged by the Soviet Union against its Jewish population. Probably what best illustrates the Soviet drive is its willingness to rape its own judicial system in order to continue persecuting Jewish people. It is common knowledge that any Jew filing an application to emigrate from the Soviet Union is almost certain to lose his or her job. and that the state will place obstacles in the path of obtaining a new one. Furthermore. unemployment is punishable as a crime. and in a recent effort to crack down on refuseniks. the maximum prison sentence for what the Soviets call parasitism has been raised from 1 to 2 years. Many questions have also arisen of late over the alleged planting of weapons. ammunition. and drugs in the apartments of refuseniks that are later discovered and used as evidence in criminal casesmysterious discoverles among people for whom there has previously been no reason for suspicion.
