JTA - The Jewish umbrella organization of Argentinian Jewry said that the social deterioration of the country’s society triggered an attack by a homeless couple on a Buenos Aires synagogue.
“The impoverished situation of our Republic provokes, in some sectors of society in a situation of marginality, the invocation of old prejudices installed in society,” the Delegation of Argentine Israelites Associations, or DAIA, said Monday in a statement. The statement designated the attack as anti-Semitic.
