"Just as de Gaulle ignored the

he betrayed the spirit of World

National Commander Samuel

de Gaulle had made a mockery of
the sacrifices of thousands of
American soldiers—including men
of the Jewish faith—who died to
help liberate France in two world
wars. He called on "our French
comrades-in-arms of all persuasions
to repudiate the arrogant racism
and chauvinism displayed by de
Gaulle. His attack on Israel and
attempt to depict the entire Jewish
people as "domineering" is as re-
pulsive to true Frenchmen as were

Remains of Nationalist
Slain in WWI Reburied
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The re-
mains of Avshalom Feinberg, a
member of "Nili," a Jewish nation-

which opposed the Turks in Pale-
stine during World War I, were re-
interred with military honors here!
at ceremonies attended by Kaddish
Luz, speaker of the Knesset, and ,
Chief Chaplain Shlomo Goren of '
Israel's armed forces. The remains
were found in a grave near El Ar-
ish in the Sinai.
"Nili' was a controversial group
in its time and although it espoused
the cause of Jewish nationalism
and aided the British against the
, Ottoman Turkish rulers of Pales-
tine, it was opposed by elements
of the Jewish population, and its
role is still a subject of debate in
