Israeli journalists get first-hand look at France and problem of anti-Semitism

President Jacques Chirac told Israeli journalists on Tuesday that France is doing its utmost to combat anti-Semitism but that they, in turn, should treat France fairly, an organizer of the meeting said.

A group of some 30 journalists from Israel met Chirac at his Elysee Palace, along with their outlets’ Paris correspondents, in a visit organized to give the journalists a first-hand look at the situation of Jews in France.
