Israel Is Well Liked
by French Students
PARIS (JTA)—French students,
reputedly- leftists and anti-Israel,
are far less negative toward the
Jewish state than has been be-
lieved, according to the - results of
a poll by the highly respected
French Institute for Public Opin-
ion published in Le Figaro.
The vast majority of the students
polled coosidered Israel a demo-
cratic state and thought that its ex-
istence "is a good thing." A ma-
jority also believed, however, that
"Israel is an artificial state" that
can be sustained only by constant
help from the Western world and
diaspora Jews.
They expressed the belief that
the Big Powers wanted peace in
the Middle East but felt that Is-
rael "cannot and should not
trust their guarantees or any
which the United Nations might
extend."

The most severe point of criti-
cism of Israel by the students was
what they considered an overem-
phasis on the military and religious
aspects.
Forty-nine per cent of the stu-
dents believed that the army plays
too important a role in Israel and
that the country is a theocratic
state.
But 68 per cent thought that
Frenchmen felt closer to Israel
than to the Arab states. Only 11
per cent expressed the opposite

The Ritual of Study
As Religious Exercise
By Maurice Samuel, in
"The Professor and The Fossil"
The most important part of the
ritual is study: and the difference
between Jewish and other study is
clarified once for all when we
remember that for oters a knowl-
ede of the history of their people
is a civic duty, while for Jews it
is a sacred duty. It is considered
God's will not only that we shall
be good, but that we shall know
what lie did to us 'and what we did
about Him. The view is that we
cannot, in fact, know what He
wants us to do without that knowl-
edge of what happened between
Elm and us, between Rim and the
world, and among all three of =-
There is a sense in which Jews
consider all knowledge sacred, and
:all -study—unless it leads toward
apostasy—a religious exercise.
