THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, Aupst 13, 1982 21 French Anti-Semitic Terror Creating Resistance (Continued from Page 1) but above all, I am a Jew. If the French authorites will not prevent the neo-Nazi manifestation of the murder of Jews just because they are Jews, I will not hesitate as a Jew to call upon the youth of our people living in France to actively de- fend the lives of the Jews and their human dig- nity." The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that the atti- tude of the French media in reporting the actions of Is- rael's forces against the PLO terrorists in Lebanon had contributed to the attmosphere which / encouraged the attacks against Jews in France. Police investigating Wednesday's bombing said they found inscriptions on an adjacent building calling for the "immediate and un- conditional withdrawal of the Israeli fascists from Lebanon" and warning, "If the Palestinians are forced to leave Beirut, we shall kill the Zionist financiers and propagandists working for its (Israel's) cause." The in- scriptions were signed "AD," the initials of the Ac- tion Directe organization. Eight AD members were detained Tuesday for ques- tioning but were released after police found nothing linking them to the Rue des Rosiers attack on Monday. In that incident, a ter- rorist squad hit at the heart of Paris' traditional Jewish quarter, the Marais section, killing six people and wounding 15 more, some of them seri- ously. Four terrorists opened fire on customers eating lunch in the city's best known Jewish res- taurant and then fired on fleeing shopkeepers and passersby. Eyewitnesses told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the commando hit- team, described as "Arab- looking," were "out to kill as many of us as possible. They shot at everyone and at ev- - erything." A kosher butcher who was about to open his shop for lunch said, "I hid behind a car, and even then they shot at me. They wanted Jewish blood." Police say the attack "is obviously connected with the Lebanese crisis, "but in- vestigators do not know as yet whether the terrorists were Palestinians or whether they belong to the extreme leftwing Direct Ac- tion organization which carried out a number of anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish attacks during the last few days. These included the bomb- ings of a Jewish shop which 7 –imports goods from Israel, a ink formerly owned by Is- raeli shareholders and the Rothschild family, and a car owned by an Israeli dip- lomat. There were no casualties in these inci- dents. Direct Action is be- lieved to have ties to the PLO, the Red Army Faction of West Germany and the Red Brigade of Italy. According to some eyewitnesses, the attack started after 1 p.m. Four men, waiting in the Gol- denberg restaurant, known for its traditional Jewish cooking, sud- denly drew out from under their coats sub- machineguns and sprayed the large restau- rant and delicatessen store. The restaurant is in the heart of the Rue de Rosiers, Paris' old Jewish quarter in which poor Jews have lived for more than 100 years. The terrorists continued shooting while running through the raw of narrow alleys, leaving behind a trail of wounded and dead. There are three women among the six killed. Police stationed in front of a nearby synagogue, La Synagogue de la rue des Payees, went into action as soon as they heard the first shots. Policemen started chasing the terrorists but lost track of them in the old quarter. One policeman, a plain-clothes detective, was seriously injured by one of the quarter's residents. Police say the detective, stationed near the syna- gogue, drew his gun to trade fire with the attackers when one of the residents appar- ently taking him for a ter- rorist, shot from a window with a hunting rifle.

Old Restriction s on the Jew From the 16th Century until the French Revolu- tion, the ghetto existence was the lot of most of Euro- pean Jewry, and it allowed few of thg freedoms neces- sary for the full flowering of occupational talents. Only mentally could the Jew leap the walls of the ghetto and the restrictions of the Gen- tile society. The discrimination against the Jew was so per- vasive, arbitrary; and cap- ricious that it encumbered the Jew's ability not only to live but to make a living. What Jews could or could not do to earn a livelihood came under constant and conflicting restrictions. Some countries prevented Jews from being shopkeep- ers, others from being craftsmen. One country ruled that Jews could deal in wood and leather, while an- other country ruled they could not. The Jews would be encouraged to start a factory in one land, yet be prevented from doiitg so in another. One region of a country would decree that Jews were allowed to sell alcohol; a neighboring region would make it against the law. In the middle of the 18th Century in Prussia, for in- stance, Jews found that the government permitted them to do business in raw calf and sheepskin, but not in raw cowhide or horse- Just A Dream By EVE DISHELL Last night I had a dream n which Israel lived in eace, and the world was a etter place.

It is against violence, whether in the Middle East or Beirut and how much more so where Paris itself is concerned." Defferre, one of Israel's staunchest friends within _ the Socialist administra- tion, was also greeted with hostile slogans. The minis- ter, who had flown to Paris from his hometown Marseil- les to attend the religious service, told the crowd: "I cannot blame you for what you say. I understand your feelings and your anger." Pandemonium broke out when the President arrived. In spite of a police bar- ricade, demonstrators man- aged to squeeze through. While Kadish was recited inside the small, centuries- old synagogue, the shouts of the demonstrators — "Mit- terrand, Oradour" and "Socialism, betrayal" — could be heard inside the building.

French reporters cover- ing the attack were insulted and at times manhandled by the angry crowd. "You (the reporters) are greatly responsible for what has taken place here," said many of the participants.
