The Southern California Council for Soviet Jews would do well to find itself another spokesperson other than Si Frumkin. He adds insult to injury, first in castigating the press for deploring the release of tear gas at a performance of the Soviet Moiseyev dancers and then in suggesting that South African blacks somehow or other have it better than Soviet citizens.
What an invidious comparison, and how it reeks of a racism quite equivalent to the anti-Semitism Frumkin apparently wants us to see in the press’s coverage of an ugly incident.
