In France

Paris (JTA) — France has
been struck with another
rash of anti-Semitic van-
dalism in recent days, in-
cluding the torching of syn-
agogues near Paris and
Strasbourg, and the desecra-
tion of two cemeteries in the
eastern part of the country.
In Villepinte, a suburb
north of Paris where some
160 Jewish families live, the
community's small syn-
agogue was set on fire by at
least three masked people on
New Year's Eve. They threw
firebombs at the door, then
broke a window and threw
more firebombs inside the
building.
The furniture was
destroyed, but the Torah
scrolls were spared. The ar-
sonists fled when neighbors
came out to see what was go-
ing on.
Jacques Grosslerner, one
of the leaders of the local
Jewish community, reported
that he had received anony-
mous, threatening telephone
calls on the eve of Chanu-
kah. The police are in-
vestigating a possible con-
nection.
The desecrations in east-
ern France seem to be tied to
Israel's deportation of 415
Palestinians to Lebanon.
In Cronenbourg, a borough
of Strasbourg, some 15
graves at the Jewish
cemetery were daubed Dec.
30 with an inscription
reading "415 equals a
swastika." Local Jews
believe this was probably a
"political reaction" to the
deportations.
Another Jewish cemetery
in Cronenbourg was
desecrated the following
day. Some 30 headstones
were broken, but no inscrip-
tions were found.
The same day, a small
apartment being used as a
synagogue by the Sephardic
community of Bischheim, in
northern Strasbourg, had its
windows shattered when
people threw fire extin-
guishers through them.

Claude Lederer, rabbi of
Bischheim, told JTA he was
sorry this last story had
reached the media. "Why
raise hell for a couple of
shattered windows?" he
asked.
"When much more impor-
tant events happen to the
Jewish community, the gen-
eral press keeps mum. I
think that to publicize such
little incidents can only give
bad ideas to some hotheads,"
he said.
