"Simon Wiesenthal Center Issues Travel Advisory to Turkey
LOS ANGELES, June 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Simon Wiesenthal Center is issuing a travel advisory urging its 400,000 constituent families and the Jewish community to defer any non-essential travel to Turkey.
'For 500 years, Jews have found a safe haven in Turkey, but the unprecedented campaign of escalating rhetoric demonizing the people of Israel emanating from official circles and elements of the media has created an unprecedented toxic environment which has spread fear among Turkish Jews and raises profound concerns for their safety and the safety of any Jew visiting the country,' said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Center."
