Resolutions protesting Soviet persecution of Russian Jewry and the USSR’s policies on Israel were adopted unanimously here last night at a mass rally attended by 2,000 persons.
Jewish and non-Jewish leaders of Argentine public opinion addressed the meeting, organized under the joint auspices of DAIA, this country’s central body of organized Jewry, the Jewish community of Buenos Aires and the Argentine Zionist Federation. The resolutions adopted also demanded that the Soviet Government cease arming the Arab states.
Calling attention to the current celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Bolshevlk revolution, the meeting called on the USSR to restore to Russian Jewry the cultural and religious rights guaranteed it under the Soviet Constitution. Another resolution assailed Communists in this country who support the Soviet Union’s anti-Israel attitude, and attacked specifically Jewish Communists for turning “against their blood brothers.”
