The Argentine Zionist Organization has announced a program to counter propaganda by the Palestine Liberation Organization in Latin America. Marcos Kerenhendler, president of the organization, told a meeting of the DAIA that it will publish a booklet exposing the blackmail and terrorist activities of the PLO and would screen a film on the PLO made abroad.
DAIA chairman Nehemias Resnizky pledged his organization’s support for the Zionist initiative. But local spokesmen for Likud and the Independent Zionists, meanwhile, have accused the Jewish Youth Federation and the leftist Spanish-language Jewish weekly Nueva Presencia of confusing the situation about PLO propaganda by supporting the rights of the Palestinian people.
Youth Federation leaders rejected the charge. They said that while they favor Palestinian rights to self-determination, they are prepared to fight against the PLO unless the latter changes its attitude toward Israel. They noted that they are actively promoting aliya among Argentine Jewish youth and support other Zionist endeavors.
Resnizky, replying to questions, said the possibility of showing the NBC television production of “Holocaust” in Argentina has not yet been raised with the authorities.
