sparked a threat by two Black
Septemberists who menaced
the Sakharous in their Mos-
cow apartment.

The Soviet physicist said
he could not criticize Israel.

"The country which is the
realization of the Jewish
people's right to a state, is
fighting for its existence sur-

exceed it in population and
material resources many
times over," he said. "The
hostility was stirred up to a
considerable extent by the
imprudent policies of other
states. All mankind has on
its conscience the Jewish
victims of genocide during
World War II. We cannot
permit a repetition of that
tragedy today."
