Jewish Student Accused
in Swiss Anti-Semitic Acts
GENEVA (JTA) — A 23-
year old Jewish medical
-
student arrested in Basel
was described by police as
the perpetrator of a cam-
paign of virulent anti-
Semitic graffiti, harass-
ment and death threats in
that city last month.
The disclosure by the
police last Friday that
Philip Gotchel, son of a
prominent Jewish family,
was solely responsible for
the acts called unprece-
dented in Switzerland,

Recently, due to a printing
error, a few packages of our
Manischewitz Swiss Choco-
late Mints were marked
pareve. As the ingredient
panel indicates, these

foods with confidence.
stunned Jews and non-Jews
alike. The Jewish commu-
nity expressed deep sym-
pathy for the "shame and
scandal to his family."
Gotchel has been placed
under psychiatric care.
The young man, nephew
of a leading physician, was
said to be an excellent stu-
dent at the Basel medical
school. Most of the anti-
Semitic acts were directed
against Jewish fellow stu-
dents, their families and
their non-Jewish friends.
Several Jewish stu-
dents in their third year
at the school received
anonymous letters last
month saying "Death to
the Jews," "Hitler was
right" and "No more
Jewish doctors in Swit-
zerland." Similar slogans
were daubed on the walls
of local synagogues, the
Jewish cemetery and
public buildings.
The families of non-
Jewish students friendly to
Jews received menacing let-
ters and anonymous tele-
phone calls saying "Your
son has been killed." Warn-
ings were pointed on the
university walls advising
Jewish students not to
attend a faculty party be-
cause they would be killed.
The campaign aroused
serious concern in the city
and Swiss army units were
sent to help local police pro-
tect Jewish students.

Knesset Debate Centers
on Arms Sales to Africa
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israel's policy in Africa,
particularly its arms sales
to Zaire, was the subject of
debate in the Knesset Wed-
nesday.
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir, speaking for the
government, said Israel
would do its utmost to
strengthen its ties with Af-
rican regimes. He spoke in
reply to an agenda motion
by Shulamit Aloni of the
Labor Alighment who
warned against Israeli in-
volvement in the internal
affairs of African nations.
Aloni was particularly con-
cerned over the possibility
that Israel would become
embroiled in the tense situ-
ation in Zaire's Shaba
region bordering on ,
Soviet-backed Angola.
"We might get our
soldiers mixed up in inci-
dents against a country
which is supported by the
Russians," she said. She
also criticized the supply of
military equipment and- -
know-how to the govern-
ment of President Mobutu
Sese Seko of Zaire which she
called a "brutal and dictato-
rial regime."
Shamir visited Zaire last
month to negotiate, among
other things, the sale of Is-
raeli arms and the training
of Zaire soldiers by Israelis.
The Foreign Minister de-
fended his policy and the
arms deals. He noted that
Israel is not the only coun-
try selling weapons to the
Mobutu regime. He said
that when he was in Kin-
sahsa there were also mili-
tary delegations from
China, France and Bel-
gium.
Shamir noted that
Zaire was the first black
African nation to resume
diplomatic ties with Is-
rael since the Yom Kip-
pur War. He added that
as Israel is trying to ad-
vance its relations with
other African countries,
"all those countries
watch how our relations
with Zaire will develop."
Shamir was backed by
Likud MK Yigael Hurwitz
who said Israel had no
choice but to sell arms to
any country willing to buy
them. "The market is in
Asia, Africa and Latin
America," he said. "We
would have liked to export
to Holland, Norway and
Finland, but this is im-
possible," Hurwitz added.
Shamir, replying to an
agenda motion on a differ-
ent subject, said there were
no signs that Jordan was
coming to the negotiating
table. He said the recent
statement by King Hussein
at the meeting of non-
aligned nations in New
Delhi that he and the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion were getting closer was
not "encouraging."
