The French Zionist conference which concluded here yesterday after adopting a program aimed at attracting all French Jews involved in aiding Israel, regardless of party affiliation or lack of it, must been seen as an “impressive point of departure” for new Zionist activities in France, Joseph Sprinzak, Speaker of the Israel Parliament, declared here today.
At a press conference held prior to his return to Israel, Mr. Sprinzak noted that this “new direction” was in the nature of an experiment. He underlined that trial and error was the essence of the Zionist movement and that the movement must be flexible enough today to “accommodate itself to the problems of the Diaspora.” Mr. Sprinzak described himself as “extremely optimistic” about the outcome of the French experiment.
