Jewish Leader
Criticizes Chirac

PARIS (JTA) — The head of France's
Jewish community criticized President
Jacques Chirac for saying during a
trip to Lebanon that Israel must with-
draw from Lebanon and the Golan
Heights without any conditions.
Henri Hajdenberg said the
remarks showed that France had
proven itself to be too pro-Arab to
act as a mediator in the Middle East
peace process.

Army Head
Avoids Reunion

New York (JTA) — Estonia's army
chief announced that he would not
attend an upcoming reunion of his
country's World War II veterans.
A spokesman said the decision was
influenced by the international outcry
that occurred after a similar event was
held in Latvia in March. Estonia's for-
eign minister and prime minister have
already announced that they would
not attend the gathering, which is
scheduled for July.

Russian Neo-Nazi
Is Sentenced

Moscow (JTA) — A neo-Nazi leader
in the Russian city of Orel was sen-
tenced to two years in prison for
inciting hatred toward Jews and peo-
ple from the Caucasus Mountains
area.
The city's small Jewish community
is outraged because the judge in the
case against Igor Semyonov refused to
consider a 1993 leaflet in which the
defendant termed Judaism a "misan-
thropic religion." In his verdict, the
judge said Semyonov's judgment of
Judaism was not reprehensible since
the Torah and the Talmud contain
misanthropic dogmas.

Jewish Museum
Opens In Italy

ROME (JTA) — A new Jewish muse-
um opened in the Italian town of
Merano. During the ceremony, Bishop
Wilhelm Egger apologized for
Catholic failures to fight anti-Semi-
tism in the past. Only a few dozen
Jews currently live in the northern
Italian spa town.
