The growing anti-Semitic movement in France was the major point of discussion at the two-day meeting of the national council of the French Section of the World Jewish Congress that closed here last night. The anti-Semites are rallying around the Poujade movement, originally launched as a protest against the taxation of small businessmen.
Other subjects discussed were the situation of Jews in North Africa and Israel’s crisis. The conference concluded with a reception for French Grand Rabbi Jacob Kaplan and Israel Ambassador Yaacov Tsur.
