0' Jerusalem!
By MARTY ODGERS
0' Jerusalem, City of Cities,
How I love you!
And now they want to take a part
Of you from us.
Never! Never Again!
Yes, once a part of you was taken,
Our hearts were broken,
But now you belong to us once more!
We fought for you and won you back!
The enemy is strong,
But we are stronger!
You are Ours!
We intend to keep you Forever!
0' Jerusalem, City of Our Fathers,
I Love You!
WZO Envoy Hits Rothschilds
4110 JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Jewish Agency Executive
Chairman Arye Dulzin last
week expressed "shock and
pain" at a statement attrib-
uted to outgoing World
Zionist Organization Direc-
tor for Europe Avi Primor.
In an interview appear-
ing in Paris, Priinor was
quoted as saying, that
"sooner or later, history will
throw out Guy de
Rothschild," chairman of
French Jewry's Fonda
Sociale and the United
Jewish Appeal. Primor also
made an analogy between
Rothschild and the late
Shah of Iran, saying the
monarch had tried to exile
Khomeini, but "look what
happened to him."
During his tour of duty
in Paris, Primor publicly
clashed with the
Rothschild family in his
attempts to create a more
militant "Jewish lobby"
in France. At one point, it
was reported, Rothschild
sent his son David to Is-
rael to press for Primor's
removal.
A month ago, Primor an-
nounced plans to leave his
Paris post, but he denied
that it was as a result of
pressure by the Rothschilds.
Dulzin defended the
Rothschilds in his press re-
lease.
