Description

A new measure prohibits Jewish doctors from practicing their profession. Rumours say that this decision was taken by France itself. Muslims have complained about this situation: they recognize the skills of these Jewish doctors and their absence leads to a lack of hygiene. Elie Gozlan blames the administration for the harm that may be caused by such a measure. He advocated the cooperation of Muslims with the Jews because these prescriptions could be extended to all non-European doctors
