Anti-jewish Offenses Constant in Tunis

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The Jews of Zarsis in Tunis are constantly maltreated by the local Arabs. Not a day passes without a Jew being insulted and frequently beaten by an Arab. The Khalif tells the complainant to lodge his complaint with the Commandant and the Commandant advises him to complain to the Khalif.

Even the dead are not spared in Zarsis. At almost every Jewish funeral Arabs throw stones at the funeral procession and hurl insults after the mourners. Only last Monday a case of this kind occurred. At the funeral of Nessim Chelly. all along the route, from the house to the cemetery, there was a continuous volley of stones.
