Anti-Semitic graffiti and
sideways glances were
encountered by a kipa-
wearing Oak Park student,
who studied at the Univer-
sity of Paris-Sorbonne last
year.
Greg Bernhardt, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer
Bernhardt, who was pursu-
ing studies in film cemiotics
— linguistic approach to
studying film — said that
anti-Jewish and anti-Israel
graffiti were seen
everywhere in Paris.
"It was a new experience
for me. In the fancier sec-
tions, such as the Champs
Elysee, the graffiti was
more vitriolic. There was a

proliferation of anti-Israel
graffiti."
Bernhardt said that
Arabs as well as Jews
were the subjects of at-
tacks by the right-wing
groups. However, he im-
plied that the anti-Jewish
feeling was more visible.
Bernhardt said that there
were daily attacks, both
physical and psychological,
against Jews. "They were
always there; they're not
any worse now, but the sen-
sational acts" such as the
Paris synagogue bombing
have brought them to the
fore.
He said he was not per-
sonally attacked, but all of
these actions "affect you

Israeli Calls for Concerted
U.S. Effort to Halt Terror

Warning that the spread
of terrorism endangers the
western democracies and is
a threat to the United
States, Sabi Shabtai, noted
authority on the subject, de-
clared here that unless
there is an organized effort
to deal with the issue, the
emanating dangers could be
menacing.
Shabtai, who was here
Wednesday to address the
Book Fair session arranged
by the Jewish National
Fund and the Zionist
Organization of Detroit, at
the Jewish Center, said that
organized efforts must in-
clude readiness to suffer
casualties if the terrorisits
are not to be given leeway in
their attacks on innocent
peoples and communities.
Citing as an example the
Entebbe experience, when
Israel was prepared to suf-
fer great losses if the rescue
attempt were to fail, Shab-
tai said there must never be
concessions to the terror
threats.
Shabtai, a former
member of the Israeli
Foreign Service, has
served as a consultant on
terrorism to various air-
lines and to the U.S.
army. Shabtai has also
taught courses on the
subject at Columbia Uni-
versity, Indiana Univer-
sity and the University of
Chicago.
He was a senior fellow at
the Adlai Stevenson Insti-
tute of International Affairs
in Chicago from 1971-1974
and is currently serving on
the advisory board of the In-
ternational Association to
Combat Terrorism.
Shabtai is the author of a
novel, "Five Minutes to
Midnight" (Delacorte Press)
which is more an expose of
the terrorists than it is a
story. The characters in the
book are all real, they refer
to incidents that have ter-
rorized mankind, and in
novel form, the story sym-
bolizes Shabtai's warnings

to mankind of the impend-
ing dangers.
He pointed out in his
interview here, before his
address at the Jewish Cen-
ter, that unless there is the
much-needed preparation
to meet the dangers of ter-
rorism, the possible results
could be devastating. He
pointed out that if terrorists
should ever acquire nuclear
weapons, the results could
be devastating.
