An appeal to Parliament, the Israel Government, the Jewish Agency and the World Jewish Congress to avoid any negotiations with the “slaughterers of one-third of our nation” was made here last night at a meeting of several hundred prominent spiritual leaders, poets, writers and artists representing all parties.
The group, headed by David Shimonovich, Uri Zvi Greenberg, A. Dworsetsky and Laib Ruchman, submitted a resolution expressing protest against any at tempted negotiations between Israel and West Germany on the question of restitution. The Bonn Government recently proposed that a settlement of the issue be attempted.
