Zionist Groups Hit 'Stifling' of Dissent in Jewish Community
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Four Zionist organiza-
tions have scored the re-
cent "campaign launched
within the Jewish com-
munity to stifle if not de-
stroy open discussion."
They expressed con-
cern that the campaign,
whose immediate target
is B,reira, only a pro-
logue to a more concerted
move to stifle all dissent,
all disputation and all
legitimate differences in
the Jewish and Zionist
community which seekto
formulate viable ways to
achieve peace in the Mid-
dle East."
The four organizations
which signed a statement
on "The Right to Dissent"
are the Socialist Zionist
Union, Hashomer Hat-
zair, Habonim Labor
Zionist Youth and Ameri-
cans for Progressive Is-
rael.
Stating that they "dif-
fer ideologically and tac-
tically with Breira," the
four groups denounced the
attack on this group by
various Jewish organiza-
tions and newspapers, say-
ing that it utilizes "guilt by
association, outright dis-
tortion and witch-
hunting."
because it is directed only
at criticism from the left
and not from the right,
particularly 'those
American supporters of
Israeli groups which defy

The statement called
upon all Jews committed
to a democratic Israel and
a vibrant Jewish com-
munity to "vigorously
oppose those who seek to
stifle dissent," which,
they said, is "contrary to
the diversity which has
been a part of Jewish his-
tory."
The statement called
attention to the fact that
while the campaign is in
the guise of the demand
for a united front, the
demand is "one-sided"

these meetings coincide
with a renewed assault on
Soviet Jewish aliya ac-
tivists by the Soviet au-
thorities. He referred to
attempts to link Jewish
activists with the U.S.
Central
Intelligence
Agency (CIA) and mount-
ing harassment of Jews
seeking exit visas.
According to Almogi,
the atmosphere in the
Soviet Union now can be
compared. to the climate
that prevailed in the
early 1950s, the time of
the alleged "doctors plot"
and the purge of Jewish
intellectuals under Sta-
lin.

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Eight members of the
Jewish Defense League
were arrested Sunday
after police said they
broke windows at the of
fices of Aeroflot Soviet
Airlines in midtown
Manhattan. They were
scheduled to be arraigned
on charges of reckless en-
dangerment and rioting,
police said. One of them
also was charged with
possession of a dangerous
weapon.
Police said that the
eight came to the Aeroflot
office at 12:45 a.m. Sun-
day, pushed away the
police officer guarding
the office and broke the
windows.
Bonnie Pechter, the
JDL's national director,
said the incident was part
of the JDL's "escalating"
assault on the Soviet
Union's harassment of
Jews in the USSR.
Police listed the eight
arrested as: Simon
Greenspan, of Jersey
City, N.J.; Kenheth
Wechsler, of Teaneck,

No Change Seen in Rate
of Soviet Jewish Drop-Outs
TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Yosef Almogi, chairman
of the Jewish Agency and
World Zionist Organiza-
tion Executives, said last
week that the incidence of
drop-outs among Jews
who leave the Soviet
Union is showing no
abatement. On the other
hand, he said, aliya from
France was encouraging
and, even more so, the
volunteer movement
which, he said, is yielding
between one-quarter and
one-third of the olim.
He said he expected the
aliya rate to remain at
about 20,000 in 1977, the
same as last year, unless
unforeseen developments
change the picture.
Speaking to reporters
in his office, Almogi dis-
closed that the drop-out
rate ranges between
49-58 percent of Soviet
Jewish emigres. He said
that 1300 Jews left the
USSR in , January of
whom 708 or 58 percent
did not go to Israel. In
Feburary, 1000 Jews left
the USSR but 523 re-
mained in Europe await-
ing visas to go to coun-
tries other than Israel.
Almogi said that 15,000
volunteers came to Israel
in 1976, compared to
11,000 the previous year.
Volunteers are persons
who spend a year or longer
working in Israel while
they decide whether to
remain here permanently.
Almogi said that the
entire student body and
faculty of the Yeshiva
Hafetz Haim in the U.S.
will come to Israel for a
year with the possibility
of becoming olim.
Almogi was scheduled
to attend the meeting of
the presidium of the
Brussels Conference for
Soviet Jewry, of which he
is chairman, and its
Steering Committee
which convened` - in
Geneva Monday. He- Was
also to attend a meeting
of the World Jewish Con-
gress Executive in
Geneva to deal with the
current situation con-
fronting JewS in the
USSR, Syria and other
Arab countries.
Almogi pointed out that
Israeli law by establish-
ing illegal settlements on
the West Bank and
thereby challenge "the
very sovereignty of the
Israeli government."
