June 21, two cases

2 major tragic Jewish cases on this Gregorian calendar day. 

June 21, 1962

Graciela Sirota, 19 years old Jewish student brutally attacked, cigarettes burned on her,  swastikas carved on her body by nazi gang TACUARA in Argentina with a message that it was revenge for eliminating Adolf Eichmann. Many protested, Jews and non Jews. Shops closed posting: "closed as protest nazi aggressions". Students mobilized.

Some 5 months later, this Nazi group was saluted and praised by United Arab Republic's rep. in the U.N. Ahmad Shukairy (Shukeiri, Shuqairy - prayed during WW2 for Hitler's victory and Britain's loss and was former aide to Hitler's ally the Mufti al-Husseini) And a bit over a year passed since he invented (Oct. 17, 1961) the apartheid slur on Israel without explanation, but using the condemnation momentum in UN against South Africa to tarnish Israel by comparing it to S.A. He later on, May-1964 became PLO's first chairman.

For historical facts: That was about 6 years before the 1967 war and about 41 years before the anti-terror defensive barrier erected.

Shukairy's 1956 'Southern Syria,' not a separated Palestine entity yet

June 1, 1956 Daily News from New York, New York · 45 Syria Demands: Talk On Pre-lsrael Basis By PETER WALLENBERG Syria demanded in the UN Security Council yesterday that everything the United Nations had done in the Palestine question,... the political aspects of the Palestine dispute. Shukairy tore into the British resolution that is backed by the U. S. and France and which would empower Hammarskjold to continue bis efforts toward "a peaceful settlement on a mutually acceptable basis." "The establishment of Israel, its membership in the UN and all other resolutions will have to be revoked," Shukairy said. "Then, and only then," he added, "the United Nations can look forward to a solution on a mutually acceptable basis." Israel's envoy, Abba Eban, take ever Israel and quoted Shukairy's word that Israel was just a part of southern Syria. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/455603792/ Vochenblatt - Jun 7, 1956, p.1 Ahmed Shukairy of ...

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
