Mr. Speaker. in saying that. if the Jewish people of Syria were ever given the opportunity to leave. as is their right under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. they would go more quickly than the Jewish people who fled from Egypt over 3.200 years ago at the time of the pharaoh. They are desperate to leave because they are not entitled to live a life of freedom in Syria itself. and yet. in spite of Syrias obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which guarantees freedom of emigration to all individuals. they are not permitted to leave their own country. Oh. yes. they can go by themselves. if they put up a hefty deposit and leave members of their immediate family behind in order to guarantee their return. But if they want to depart permanently. they cannot do it without being permanently sundered and severed from their own families.
