The news coming out of the Soviet Union these days is better than at any time in recent memory. And that scares us. Because while Jews are being allowed to emigrate to Israel in greater numbers. while Jewish prisoners of conscience and human rights activists are gradually being released from prison. while families are being reunited. a new threat to Soviet Jews looms large. Its us. We are In grave danger of growing complacent over these positive developmentsand letting our joy over the emigration of 470 Jews this March make us forget the hundreds of thousands still trying to leave We have much to be proud of. Were it not for our refusal to let the Issue die. its doubtful that Soviet Jews would now be enjoying the small gains theyve made. But instead of resting on our laurels. weve got to build on our momentum.
