From: Martin Berkowitz moshb@juno.com Date: Thu 6 Apr 2000 Subject: Free The Iranian Jews - Support Israel VIPAC - http://www.vipac.org/ Dear Sir The Iranian government has imprisoned thirteen Jews for over one year on charges of spying for our government and Israel. They are being imprisoned because of their religious beliefs in the manner that Jews have been persecuted in both the Moslem and Christian lands for centuries. The New York Times reported that "Iranian Jews are allowed to practice aspects of their religion but are forbidden to teach Hebrew." The Jews of Iran are not free and are not safe. According to the Encyclopedia Judaica there were about 95000 Jews in Iran in 1948. The New York Times reported on Thursday that there were approximately 80000 Jews in Iran before the revolution in 1979 and today there are about 25000 remaining. The religious persecution of the Iranian Jewish population is continuing in our day. This persecution is continuing at a time when Catholic leaders have recognized the evils of religious persecution and have offered a rapproachment with the Jews of Israel and the world. I urge you to do your utmost to free the thirteen Jewish prisoners and support freedom of religion for all peoples in Iran. I urge you to support Israel - the Jewish homeland.
