A delegation of the DAIA, the central representative body of Argentine Jewry, was received today by President Arturo Illia and expressed to him the DAIA’s satisfaction about his unqualified statement that his Government would not permit foreign factors to disturb life in Argentina.
The meeting took place shortly after an Arab League rally was held here with official permission at which speakers repeatedly shouted “long live Hitler” and “Jews to the furnace” and “make soap of them. ” The meeting was sponsored by the “Arab Youth Union” in tribute to Hussein Triki, Arab League chief representative in Argentina.
The pro-Nazi meeting was held in a theater which was jammed by an audience which saw youth members of the Tacuara and the Guardia Nacionalista, two ultra-Nationalist and anti-Semitic groups which have been banned, repeatedly give the Nazi salute while shouting the anti-Semitic slogans.
The DAIA delegation called to the attention of President Illia the renewed anti-Jewish campaign fostered by “foreign perturbers” and described to him the details of the Arab League meeting which was addressed by Triki.
