Of the fate of the Jews in
Arab countries, she said: "Some
three-quarters of the 250,000
Jews in Morocco live jammed

They vegetate in dugouts, in the
ghettos, literally in holes in the
mud. Nine and ten people of-
ten inhabit one earth room
without furniture, beds, light,
water or sanitary facilities. They
scarcely eat at all. And for whole
communities, immigration to Is-
rael is the only rationale the
only hope."
