British Jews Wary of Anti-Semitic Violence
By MAURICE
SAMUELSON
LONDON (JTA) —
Jewish communal leaders
have gone on alert following
the Oct. 29 receipt by Labor
MP Frank Allaun of a letter
bomb. It is feared that this
could spark a third wave of
such attacks in the past four
years.
Although the letter did
not explode, and although
Allaun is known more for
his extreme leftwing politi-

anti-Semitism in Britain.
Much of this activity is
fragmented and uncoordi-

the leading neo-Nazi group,
split into five segments last
year and there are probably
another five neo-Nazi
groups. This means that as
a force at the ballot box, the
neo-Nazis are further from
success than they ever were.
Nevertheless, what they
lack in cohesion the British
Nazis more than make up in
virulence.
One of the most sinister
groups calls itself Column
88. It celebrItes Hitler's
birthday, holds para-
military summer camps,
invites overseas Nazis to its
celebrations and repays
them by visiting Nazi func-
tions abroad.

Another Claim
Against Iranians
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
newspaper Davar recently
editorialized that a list of
property claims should be
drawn up by Jews forced out
of Iran and the claims
should be presented as part
of any solution to the U.S.
hostage crisis in Iran. _
Davar said similar lists
should be drawn up for the
Jews who had to flee
Morocco, Iraq and Tunisia.
"Here is a wide field of
work for the World Jewish
Congress," the editorial
said, "Which could thus
show that its main interest
was preoccupation with the
Jewish people, rather than
giving advice to Israel on
how to deal with the Pales-

which fielded more than 300
candidates in the last gen-

The various break-away
groups are now trying to un-

British Movement, which

it is believed to recruit the
most fanatical and ruthless
members of other Nazi
groups. Thought to have
some arms, it is particularly
keen in recruiting people of
military background and
once tried to form cells in
Britain's territorial army.
Another virulent group is
the British Movement, the
successor of the British Na-
tional Socialist Movement
which was active 20 years
ago. Now as large as any of
the factions of the frag-
mented National Front, it is
extremely anti-Semitic, dis-
tributes most of the anti-
Semitic hate propaganda in
Britain, including copies of
