The Soviet Union deliberately practices anti Semitism, putting the Jews in the position of "a collective enemy" in order to gain approval from the Arab states, Prof, Americo Gioldi, Argentine Socialist leader, and a member of the National Consultative Council, declared here today.
"Soviet anti-Semitism," Prof. Gioldi said, "must be viewed as a key to Communist strategy in the Middle East. The Soviet Union could not obtain the backing of the Arab governments if it did not put the Jews forth as a ‘collective enemy.’ Anti-Jewish persecutions in the Soviet Union are an offense against humanity toward which no indifference is permissible."
