than 200 by 1981. The 1982
war in Lebanon and the
subsequent Israeli
withdrawal led to further
emigration. Even the
residents of the old-age home
in West Beirut fled when the
wave of kidnappings of Jews
began.
Dr. Hallak was the fourth
Jew to be killed by the
Organization of the Oppress-
, d on Earth. A total of nine
Jews have been reported kill-
ed but the bodies of only the
first three victims were turn-
ed over by the murderers for
burial by their families.
On July 24, 1987, Joseph
Mizrahi, acting president of
the Lebanese Jewish com-
munity, addressed an appeal
to United Nations Secretary
Javier Perez de Cuellar, urg-
ing him "in the name of the
most elementary human
rights; in the name of a once
numerous and prosperous
Lebanese Jewish community;
in the name of humanity" to
use all his moral power to
help the Jewish community
recover the corpses of the
murdered Jews so that they
could be laid to rest in accor-
dance with Jewish traditions.
Mizrahi exphasized that
gratuitous cruelty of the ter-
rorists, since there is "no con-
ceivable political advantage
that can accrue to the killers
as the result of their refusal
to hand over the bodies of
murdered Jews."
Moreover, he pointed out,
the terrorists were violating
a fundamental norm of
civilization from which they
and their associates
themselves stand to benefit.
"Even the most bloodthirsty
terrorists who have given
their lives for what they
believe to be their cause have
been buried and nobody has
contested this most elemen-
tary right to a proper burial."
Similar appeals have been
made.
The Syrian authorities,
while professing an eagerness
to bring about the release of
the remaining hostages in
Lebanon, claim that the
military forces they command
in Beirut are unable to seize
the terrorists without risking
the lives of the hostages.
The Paris Conference for
the Freedom of Syrian Jewry,
which was attended by some
400 delegates from 18 coun-
tries in Europe and the
Western hemisphere, adopted
a declaration in which they
pledged to continue their ef-
r- D forts to restore basic human
rights and dignity not only to
Lebanese and Syrian Jews,
but "to all those, Jews and
non-Jews, who are deprived of
their liberty anywhere in the
world."
