Latin Anti-Semitism
Who's Doing What to Whom?
By KEVIN FREEMAN
NEW YORK- (JTA)-
While blatant anti-Semitic
material continues to ap-
pear on newsstands in Ar-
gentina, the ruling military
junta led by President
Leopoldo Galtieri has as-
sured a delegation of repre-
sentatives from the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee that
his Administration will
pursue its policy to elimin-
ate anti-Semitic tracts and
apprehend anti-Semitic
vandals.
Moreover, according to
Howard Friedman, chairman of
the Board of Governors of the
AJCommittee, who acted as the
principal spokesman for the dele-
gation at a news conference here
after having recently re-
turned from their 15-day study
mission to four South American
countries, the delegation de-
parted with the impression from
discussions with leading officials
in Argentina that they are "being
truthful" and "realize the image'
Argentina has among United
States public opinion.

en-person delegation, which

visited Chile, Uruguay, Brazil
and Argentina, was to "renew
our relationship" with the Jewish
community and at the same time
obtain information on conditions
in these countries through dis-
cussions with government of-
ficials and representatives; Is-
raeli and United States officials;
and representatives of the Jewish
community.
The general perception, Fried-
man said, was that the Jewish
community in South America is
"strong and vibrant" which pos-
sesses good schools, institutions
and communal life and activities,
"which could be a model in this
field." He noted Uruguay as a
country with a "particularly vi-
brant" Jewish community,
young and involved in govern-
mental affairs. But he added that
there continues to be some in-
stances of anti-Semitism in
Uruguay.
Of particular concern to the
delegation was the situation in
Argentina, focusing on its record
of repeated human rights viola-
tions and those persons the
government has listed in the past
years as "disappeared." The
delegation said that upon
presenting a list of 13 Jewish in-
dividuals listed in this category,
the Interior Minister told them
that "several" on the list were
scheduled for release. According
to information reaching the
AJCommittee offices here, four
persons on the list presented to
Argentine officials are about to
be released.
FRIEDMAN SAID that soon-
er or later there will have to
be an accounting done on the re-

ported 9,000 to 10.000 people who
nave "disappeared" over the past
years. But he said that according
to information the delegation re-
ceived, the military will not allow
"a Nuremberg to occur in Argen-
tina. He said there were "sub-
stantial numbers of Jews among"
the missing persons reported in
Argentina.
In discussing anti-Semitism,
Friedman said it has become a
"reality" in the life of Argen-
tina's Jewish community, adding
that it has also become "deeply
embedded" in the military. In
noting this, he pointed out that
there were no Jews to speak of in
the military or foreign service. He
said anti-Semitism is an "en-
demic feature of Argentine life,
but it is not finding expression"
on the government level.
In their discussion with Presi-
dent Galtieri, whom they met for
an hour, Friedman said that the
delegation brought to his atten-
tion that anti-Semitic material
continues to be disseminated
freely throughout Buenos Aires.
But according to Galtieri, despite
this, the Jewish community is
fully secure and functions with-
out interference from the govern-
ment.
THE DELEGATION brought
to the attention of Galtieri the
continued failure of the police of-
ficials to apprehend anti-Semitic
vandals, particularly those re-
sponsible for the desecration of
the main Jewish cemetery in Mar
del Plata, Argentina's major sea-
side resort some 250 miles south
of Buenos Aires, more than two
months ago.
Friedman said the delegation
pointed out that if the govern-
ment would arrest and prosecute
such vandals, "a message that
could never be approximately by
words" would be sent from the
government to deter other in-
cidents.
Because the Reagan Adminis-
tration has become less vocal on
the issue of human rights, a
drastic turn from the previous
Carter Administration, the dele-
gation was informed by govern-
ment officials in both Chile and
Argentina that relations with the
U.S. are improving. Friedman
noted that the Chilian govern-
ment officials, particularly the
Foreign Minister, stressed that
human rights was not the
business of Washington.
FRIEDMAN SAID that the
countries the delegation visited
have good bilaterial relations
with Israel while the same could
not be said when it came to multi-
lateral relations. But he pointed
out that there was expressions of
sympathy and support for Israel.
He said the four South American
countries did not appear to have
a desire at the moment to
establish an office for the Pales-
tine Liberation Organization. But
he said there was an effective
PLO "functionary" operating out
of the Syrian Embassy in Brazil.
The AJCommittee mission
members, in addition to Fried-
man, were: Maynard Wishner,
president, who led the delegation
during its South American tour;
Theodore Ellenoff, chairman of
the national executive council;
Philip Hoffman, honorary presi-
dent; Bertram Gold, executive
vice president; Rita Hauser,
chairperson of the foreign affairs
committee; and Jacobo Kovad-
k>ff, director of South American
affairs.
