their national convention in
Hollywood, Fla. this week to
take definitive action on
behalf of Jacobo Timerman.
Allen told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency that if the
JWV does take action, it
will be the first major
Jewish organization to do
SO.
In his address, based on
an article he has written for
the JWV's national conven-
tion journal, Allen noted
that Timerman "insists on
an uncategorical struggle
against anti-Semitism, ra-
cism and oppression no mat-
ter what the source is "and
that his principles are an
"acute discomfort" to "cer-
tain circles in the United
States and abroad."
In his article and speech,
Allen calls on JWV mem-
bers to "face the hard truths
which Timerman offers us,
close ranks and resolve that
we will not relive the mur-
derous follies of the recent
past."
Timerman, the former
editor of La Opinion in
Buenos Aires, spent 30
months in Argentinian
prisons and was then
stripped of his citizen-
ship and deported to Is-
rael. He recounts the tor-
ture and anti-Semitism
he experienced at the
hands of his Argentinian
jailers in his book, "Pris-
oner Without a Name,
Cell Without a Number."
Allen, a former senior
editor of The Nation and a
contributing editor of The
Churchman, points out that
Timerman reported the tor-
tures he went through "with
meticulous attention to de-
tail." Non-Jewish survivors
of Argentinian tortures
have corroborated that "the
chambers are painted with
swastikas, SS death heads,
and photographs of Hitler,"
Allen says.

talitarians." He describes
efforts to discredit Timer-
man as "a well orchestrated
campaign . . . led by avowed
(and influential) far-right
academics, neo-
conservative publicists and
some public figures."
Disputing the criticism,
Allen stresses that Timer-
man "hammers away at the
theme that human rights
are indivisible, universal
and transcend all
ideologies." Continuing,
Allen notes:
"The Timerman affair
goes well beyond his per-
son. The assaults upon
him are designed to dis-
credit entirely the issues
he raises and gives hon-
est testimony about; he
has just emerged from an
experience in a country
whose ruling circles have
been officially infested
with Nazism for more
than 40 years."
Challenging anyone "who
dares dispute" the charge of
Nazism in Argentina, Allen
says that Timerman
"throws down the gauntlet
to all of us, Jewish and
non-Jewish alike; will we
remain silent in the face of
an historic, clear and pre-
sent danger? Are we once
again going to repeat the sin
of silent complicity?"
