H. RES. 490
Condemning the terrorist attacks on the Delegation of Argentine Israeli
Associations on July 18, 1994, and a Panamanian commuter plane
on July 20, 1994.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 26, 1994
Mr. ACKERMAN submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs
RESOLUTION
Condemning the terrorist attacks on the Delegation of Argen-
tine Israeli Associations on July 18, 1994, and a Pan-
amanian commuter plane on July 20, 1994.
Whereas the bombing of the Delegation of Argentine Israeli
Associations on July 18, 1994, is the deadliest attack on
Jews in the Western Hemisphere to date, and the worst
attack on Jews outside Israel since World War II;
Whereas the attack on the Delegation of Argentine Israeli
Associations was directed at the center of Jewish life in
Argentina;
Whereas the intimidation of the innocent continues through
bomb threats against the hospital that is caring for the
victims of the attack;
•HRES 490 IH
Whereas on July 20, 1994, in another savage terrorist at-
tack, a Panamanian commuter plane was blown up, kill-
ing 21 persons, 12 of whom were Jewish;
Whereas the same Lebanon-based group, calling itself the
‘‘Partisans of God’’, took responsibility for both diabolical
acts;
Whereas terrorism, neo-Nazi activities, and anti-Semitic ac-
tivity throughout the world continue to escalate, and the
safety and security of Jewish people throughout the
world is a matter of serious concern;
Whereas the kind of vicious hatred that motivated these at-
tacks is still prevalent in many countries throughout the
world, including the United States; and
Whereas terrorism must be condemned in the strongest terms
whenever and wherever it occurs: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) extends it condolences to the families and
friends who lost loved ones in the bombing of the
Delegation of Argentine Israeli Associations on July
18, 1994, and the Panamanian commuter plane on
July 20, 1994;
(2) condemns these inhuman and unforgivable
terrorist attacks on innocent people, and calls for
worldwide cooperation in bringing the perpetrators
of this crime against humanity to justice;
(3) expresses support for the Jewish commu-
nities in Argentina and Panama, and their efforts to
attain safety and security in their own countries;
•HRES 490 IH
(4) urges the governments and the people of
Argentina and Panama to continue to work to stamp
out the scourge of anti-Semitism and neo-Nazism;
and
(5) condemns anti-Semitism, neo-Nazi activi-
ties, and terrorism wherever they occur, and urges
all the members of the world community to do the
same.
