Jewish students covered the walls of Arab and pro-Arab banks in Paris Tuesday night with pro-Jewish slogans. The Jewish Student Front claimed responsibility for the numerous slogans painted on the walls of the Credit Lyonnais and the Union of Franco-Arab Banks. The slogans read: “Halt Financial Anti-Semitism,” “Out With Racist Arab Banks,” and “UBAF-Racists,” Another form of popular protest against the Arab boycott has been the closing of accounts at the banks in question.
