The Univenities Committee For Soviet Jewry now stands exposed. Its real motivation is clearly exposed by the emotional "reply" which it issued in leaflet form on the demonstration of February 22nd which was convened to protest against the anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union. It handed out this leaflet as the only resporte it a ould poribly muster to the clear criticiums of its activities lovelled by comrades of the israeh Revolutionary Action Committee Abroad. (ISRACA)
What did they say? 1. ISRACA is accused of never having taken part in demonstrations on behalf of Soviet ewry in the past and of desiring merely to exploit this particular occasion for its own purposes.
WESAY:
How canwe be expected to solidarize ourselves with demonstrations which, while allegedly neutral on the question of the Palestinian Liberation Struggle receive fall backing f rom the lead ers of the Zionist State of lurel? How can we be expected to partici pate in demonstrations whose whole emphasis and this is a consciour and deliberate emphasis a on emigration and abdication of the antiracint struggle? And how also can we be expe cted even to risk tuming out when demonstrations are inadequately stewarded and our comrades get no protection from the thugs and hooligans of the Group 62', or Group 43' (or whatever the latest gang of dissident ruffians calls itself), as was seen last Sunday, Despite assurances that the Israeli comrades would be able to hand our their leaflet 'in silence.' 2. The organisers of the campaigi make a big hue and cry about hordes of Bast European Vows longing to go and settle in Israel. But as the Jewish exodus from Poland has shown. these inocent victims of Stalinism go in every direction but Israel! Here of coune was a govcument which really did let my people go!!
