Its members exhort listeners with antiSemitic rhetoric and leaflets unlike 50 years ago. the Jews of the Soviet Union are learning from history. and they are leaving the Soviet Union. The United States has always stood foresquare with freedom. It is the height of hypocrisy when our bureaucracy. which for years allowed Soviet Jews to enter this country as refugees. when so few were being granted exit permission. now reverts administratively. and without notice. to limiting the number of Soviet Jews and other persecuted minorities solely because more are expected. There is no difference between the Jews who exited the Soviet Union or the ones who exit now. They should all be presumed to be refugees. The history of the Soviet Union is rilfed with antiSemitism and persecution. Merely because people are being allowed to leave does not mean that such denial of human rights no longer exists. thereby disqualifying individuals from being granted refugee status. Madam Chairman. antiSemitism in the Soviet Union continues to this very day. In a recent report.
