The account of persecution of Nicaraguan Jews seems to 
plainly contradict the account given by the leading rabbi of
a Jewish organization in New York who visited Nicaragua last year.
The rabbi reported that there was no persecution of Jews in
Nicaragua and no evidence of antisemitism.
This should be further colloborated by the fact that numerous  
religious groups testified and demonstrated *AGAINST* the lies
being disseminated about Nicaragua (which they should know about
since these groups have missions, churches and synagogues in
Nicaragua) and to stop the killing.
 
The Catholic bishop of Nicargua has hardly been shy about criticizing
the Sandinistas or their shutting down the Catholic radio station
there.  Curious then that all these religious groups have never
criticized the Sandinistas for antisemitism.
 
Until evidence is forthcoming from accredited sources such as
these religious groups or Amnesty International or Americas
Watch I have to conclude that these charges are bogus.
