The leader of the Argentine Jewish representative organization warned a national conference of Jewish organizations in Cordoba today that the Jewish community must develop maximum unity in order to meet effectively developments in the country. Dr. Isaac Goldenberg. president of DAIA, Argentine Jewish representative body, said the present government was seeking a solution to Argentina’s political difficulties and he reminded the delegates that Fascist tendencies still prevailed in some Argentine parties. He denounced the Communists as being openly and strongly anti-Semitic.
Dr. Leon Perez told the assembly that in the June war in the Middle East and the aftermath, it was the Peronist elements in Argentina that favored the Arabs, and high military and church circles which supported Israel. He warned that measures must be taken to counteract a rightist campaign to convict the Jews of dual loyalty. Speakers in the debate that followed stressed the need to improve relations between the Jewish and Arab communities in Argentina.
