The American Zionist Council, representing all Zionist groups in this country, today condemned the American Zionist-Revisionists for publishing an advertisement in the New York Times attacking the Israel Government in connection with the demonstration organized by the Herut in Jerusalem during the debate in the Israeli Parliament on German reparations.
The Zionist-Revisionists refused to attend the meeting of the Council in which they have permanent representation. Their advertisement said that the action of the Israel Government in dispersing the demonstrators who attempted to penetrate into the Parliament had “the indelible earmarks of a dictatorial regime of brute force.”
A group of about 30 members of the Brith Trumpeldor, Revisionist youth organization, yesterday staged a sit-down demonstration at the Biltmore Hotel here outside the room where the Conference of Jewish Claims Against Germany was held. Leaders of the group disseminated a leaflet protesting against negotiations by Jewish groups with Germany.
