France’s Giscard orders unity drive against anti Semitism
President Valery Giscard dEstaing announced a national response to rising anti Semitic violence in France. He ordered local meetings and school lessons to rally public opinion against racism, terrorism, and intolerance after a synagogue bombing and other attacks. He urged solidarity among religious groups and citizens, and noted that over 100000 protested in Paris. The president said French Jews are full citizens and condemned the acts as the work of isolated groups, not the nation.
