In fact. a recent House Republican study committee analysis concluded that over $12 billion in United States guarantees were disbursed to Israels Arab neighbors during the last 5 years. including $3.4 billion to Iraq. No Arab country was asked to recognize Israel or abandon its illegal boycott of Israeli and Jewish products in order to receive loan guarantees. As the son of Russian Jewish immigrants. for me the most distressing aspect of the administrations rejection of the loan guarantees. is that it puts at risk the thousands of men. women. and children seeking refuge from antiSemitism and political uncertainty. No one knows when the doors will shut on emigration. The changes in the former Soviet Union- have been rapid and the current government is still very unstable. With the rise of nationalistic movements in Eastern Europe. virulent antiSemitism has again been unleashed and should not be underestimated as it was in the 1940s.
