Editing Jacobo Timerman (section)

====Jewish Argentine establishment====
Authorities among the Jewish community in Argentina were notably quiet about Timerman's arrest. While some leaders were friends of the publisher, their institutions, particularly ''el Delegación de Asociaciones Israelitas de Argentina'' (DAIA), stayed relatively quiet on the topic.<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), p. 10. "Timerman's arrest also caused a stir in the Jewish-Argentine establishment, particularly the DAIA. Although Timerman had many rivals among the community leaders, several considered themselves his friends. But the institutions as such said hardly a word in public on the subject".</ref>

According to Jacobo's brother, José:<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), p. 11; quoted from Gabriela Lotersztain, ''Los judíos bajo el terror: Argentina 1976–1983'' (Buenos Aires, 2008), 264.

<blockquote>The Jewish organizations took a passive approach, which amazed me, considering Jacobo’s systematic struggle against antisemitism and what happened during the Holocaust and so many other massacres suffered by the Jewish people throughout their history. I remember once I had a two-hour-long meeting with the executive board of the DAIA to ask it to undertake some kind of action in defense of my brother. But it was useless.</blockquote>In April 1978, the DAIA finally issued a statement approving the government's shift of Timerman from prison to house arrest.<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), pp. 10–11. Quote: "Finally, in April 1978, the president of the DAIA, Nehemías Reznitsky, asked the executive board of the organization to issue a communiqué expressing approval of the decision to move Timerman to house arrest".</ref>
