The Afghan Government has exiled all Jews from Kabul to a remote village Farah, in the western part of the country near the Persian border, Davar, Hebrew daily, reports.

The paper further states that the Jews of Kabul are in despair at having to live in a village with 600 fierce Afghans and no Europeans.

Only a few weeks ago dozens of Jews were reported to have been wounded in anti-Semitic outbreaks in Kabul. The situation of Afghan Jews is reported by the periodical as hopeless in face of the constant terrorism to which they are subjected.
