Delegates to the American Jewish Congress biennial convention here marched yesterday in silent protest from the convention hotel site to the local headquarters of the Palestine Information Office two miles away where they recited Kaddish in memory of the five victims of the terrorist attack in Hebron Friday and the three Israelis who were killed by terrorists in Kubbutz Misgav Am April 7. They were led by Leonore Sigelman, president of the Washington chapter of the AJCongress.
Howard Squadron, who was reelected president of the AJCongress, charged in an address to the convention last night that there was “a direct link between western Europe’s growing acceptance of the PLO and the upsurge of the Arab terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.”
