NEW YORK — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is asking the American Jewish community to help pay for Jews in Argentina to move to Israel, saying “it is your responsibility no less than ours.”
Argentina, which has been rocked by severe political and economic crises in recent months, makes it hard for Jews to emigrate to other countries, and Jews around the world must now come to their aid, Sharon said.
Sharon spoke in New York after meeting in Washington with President Bush. Sharon said he hopes to bring 1 million Jews to Israel within the next 10 – 12 years.
