NEW YORK, May 25, 2001: Jews in America are outraged at the similarity between the Taliban action and the yellow star with the word “Jude,” that they were coerced into wearing when the Nazis came into power.

She is pessimistic that the United States or the United Nations will be able to prevent the mistreatment of Hindus in Afghanistan.
