Is absolutely prohibited. Elementary schools are supervised by Moslem headmasters and there are no secondary schools for Jewish education. These are the Jews of Syria. They live a tenuous existence punctuated by arbitrary arrests. and torture. divided families. and police sponsored intimidation. Being a Jew in Syria means the denial of the right to freely emigrate to another country. which Is a basic human right.

Mr. Speaker. now is ihe time to make it clear to the Syrian Government that holding thousands of Jews hostage is unacceptable.
