Sapir Calls for Increased Efforts
in World Struggle for Soviet Jewry
JERUSALEM ( J T A) —
Pinhas Sapir, chairman of
the Jewish Agency and World
Zionist Organization Execu-
tives, said that "we must in-
crease our efforts and unify
our power in the struggle for
Soviet Jewry." Sapir issued
this statement at the opening
of the Jewish Agency's board
of governors meeting here.
He said that 100,000 Jews
have come to Israel from the
Soviet Union since 1971 and
that the number of emigrants
from the USSR each month
should not be measured ac-
cording to" thenarrow view
of how many do or do not
emigrate in any given month.
Sapir also noted that the
number of drop-outs — Soviet
Jews who leave the USSR
but who do not go to Israel-
is a very serious and grave
problem and can adversely
affect the idea of aliya.
Max Fisher, chairman of
the board of governors, said
that after his discussions in
the last few weeks in Wash-
ington he was convinced that
friends of Israel in the Ad-
ministration and the Con-
gress want Jews to continue
with their activities to save
Soviet Jewry.

that about 800 Soviet emigre
Jews have left Israel and are
now staying in Belgium.
Belgian Foreign Minister,
Renate Van Elslande said
that apart from an unknown
few who have returned to
Israel, none of the 800 have
left Belgium far other coun-
tries. These are cases of peo-
ple arriving in Belgium "in
transit in the hopes of being
accepted in other countries,"
the minister said.
About 640 of the emigres
receive administrative aid
from charitable associations
in Belgium. "In conform-
ance with the principles of
the Rights of Man Charter,
the people in question have
the right to find themselves
a new fatherland."
Van Elslande said he
hoped that "most of these
people are accepted by the
countries where they hope to
setae."
The minister's statements
came in answer to a written
question from Socialist Party
Deputy Ernest Glinne. Glinne
also asked whether the emi-
gres could not be "redis-
tributed" so that all Common
Market countries hosted their
share. The minister answered
that the emigres already are
present, perhaps in lesser
numbers, in France, Italy
and West Germany.
In Paris, representatives of
14 West European Jewish
communities expressed their
solidarity with Soviet Jewry
and called upon the Soviet
government to halt its anti-
Jewish campaign and permit
the emigration of all Jewi
who want to leave Russia.
The representatives of the
14 communities met here with
Rabbi Israel Miller, chair-
man of the Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations, and
Stanley Lowell, chairman of
the National Conference on
Soviet Jewry, to draw up a
joint plan "to fight for the
physical and moral liberation
of Soviet Jewry•"
Meanwhile, six Jewish ac•
tivists from Minsk have ap-
pealed to Soviet intellectuals
of all nationalities to con-
demn a widely circulated
anti-Semitic book whose au-
thor, Vladimir Begun, inti-
mates that the Jews must be
destroyed to save humanity.
According to the activists,
the book, titled "The Creep-
ing Counter - Revolution," is
nothing more than "a new
version of the 'Protocols of
the Elders of Zion' " and is
but one element of "the pres-
ent rabid campaign of lies
and slander against the Jew-
ish people" in the Soviet
media, the Student Struggle
for Soviet Jewry reported.
The activists, who included
four much decorated World
•invitations
•centerpieces
•stationery
War II heroes, said that Be-
gun's tract contains "epithets
against Israel that would
make even the Nazis envi-
ous." It even charges Queen
Esther of the Purim story
with "perfidy" and sanction-
ing bloodshed to achieve
power for the Jews, they
said.
According to the appeal,
Begun's readers can only
conclude that "the Jews have
made it their goal to seize
control of the world and en-
slave all nations" so "there
remains only one thing to do
— destroy them for the sake
of saving humanity."
The activists' statement
said: "We appeal to you to
firmly condemn the cam-
paign of hounding an ancient
people that stood at the
cradle of modern civilization.
Anti•Semitism is • the worst
enemy not only of Jews, but
it maims the souls of all who
come in contact with it,
whether they are victims or
the executioners. Your si-
lence is a capitulation."
The six activists are Yefim
Davidovich, Naum Alshan-
sky, Lev Ovsisher and Chaim
Maltinsky, all war heroes;
and Grigory Rubenchik and
Leonid Yoffe.
