Anti-Semitic leaflets charging extreme left-wingers with being “Zionist agents” were distributed throughout the city last week. The leaflets signed by an extreme right-wing organization, “Oeuvre Francaise,” called for an end to “anarchy in the country’s political and social life caused by Jewish half-castes.” The leaflets singled out such well-known anti-Israeli figures as Alain Krivine, a leader of one of the Trotskyist splinter groups, and Jacques Geissmar as “typical Zionist agents.”
