French Government Rapped
After Anti-Jewish Attacks
.

Editor, The Jewish News:
The recent anti-Semitic
attacks in. Paris have not
taken place in a vacuum.
Unfortunately, the French
- - -Teenment has created an
'A-Jewish atmosphere
ich has indirectly but
significantly contributed to
these murderous actions.
Some years ago, the
French apprehended the
notorious terrorist Abu
Daud who allegedly mas-
terminded the Munich
Olympics massacre and
then capitulating to Arab
oil blackmail permitted his
release. In addition, the
French government has
recognized the PLO —
teachers of international
terrorism — whose cove-
nant calls for the destruc-
tion of Israel.
Moreover, the French
state media broadcasts have
in recent weeks presented
biased anti-Israel news
while preventing an equal
airing of Israel's position.
Any country that releases
terrorists and embraces the
PLO is offering tacit de-
facto encouragement to in-
ternational terrorism.

Unfortunately, the his-
tory of anti-Jewish
policies of many elements
within the French gov-
ernment is long. During
World War II, many in the

stood by silently as tens
of thousands of Jews
were deported to Nazi
concentration camps.
In recent years, France
has sold the most lethal
weapons of destruction to'
Arab countries including
atomic reactors to Iraq
while imposing an arms
embargo against Israel, and
most recently, its president
compared Israel's actions in
Lebanon to a Nazi invasion.
These positions clearly
jeopardize the very exist-
ence of the state of Israel.
In today's world, those
threatening Israel are in
the end triggering anti-
Semitism. It is realistically
impossible to differentiate
between Israel and Jewry.
France and other countries'
governments who are viru-
lently anti-Israel are there-
fore promoting anti-Jewish
actions everywhere.
Some have been content
with - the French govern-
ment's expressions of con-
cern to the Jewish commu-
nity. I for one am not! Our
people have heard enough
words of sympathy and con-
dolences from President
Mitterrand and others. If
the French government
truly wishes to make
amends for the recent ter-
rorist actions, let it cease its
pro-Arafat policies and
begin showing unequivocal
support for the state of Is-
rael.
Anti-Jewish terrorist at-
tacks must be viewed-as a
threat to all people. Ter-
rorism knows no faces. It
does not discriminate be-
tween its victims. Not only
Jews were murdered in
front of that Paris temple,
but non-Jews, as well. Ter-
rorism knows no bound-
aries. This past week it
struck. in Paris — today, it
.could wreak havoc in New
York. And if terrorism
comes to our streets, the
French- government will
carry more than its share of
the blame.
NEW YORK — A delega-
tion representing the Anti -
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith recently met with
Zaire President Mobutu
Sese Seko to express appre-
ciation for his nation's re-
storation of diplomatic rela-
tions with Israel last May.
Zaire severed relations
with Israel following the
Yom Kippur War in 1973.
The eight-member good-
will mission visited Zaire in
July at the invitation of
President Mobutu, accord-
ing to Abraham H. Foxman,
ADL's associate national
director.

Aridor to Meet U.S., Foreign Jewish Leaders
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Finance Minister Yoram
Aridor left this week for the
U.S. and a number of South
American countries.
In the U.S., he will meet

help defray the cost of Is-
rael's "Peace for Galilee"
operation. In South
America, he will also meet
with leaders of large Jewish
communities.
Before leaving, Aridor
presented the Cabinet with
proposals to cut state ex-
penditures by 2.5 billion
shekels (about $125 mil-
lion) this year. The pro-
posals called for reductions
in the budgets of all the
ministries, amounting to
three percent, and an
equivalent sum of cuts in
subsidies for consumer
goods.
The Knesset Finance
Committee is expected to
approve a 25 percent hike in
postal and telephone rates,
a 15 percent hike in electric-
ity, and an increase of 10 to
15 percent in compulsary
vehicle insurance.
