Description

Bernard Lecache has just completed a two-month tour of North Africa. He spoke at the first congress of the Algerian Federation of LICA, chaired by Charles Aboulker, president of the Algerian section. Lecache recalls the goals of the LICA, in particular to fight against anti-Semitism in its public and political manifestations, to fight against injustices, to bring about a rapprochement between Jews and Muslims, to create a human fraternity by notably forming groups of veterans. To do this, Bernard Lecache proposes different means of action: the immediate dissolution of the “Latin Unions”, to investigate anti-Semitic facts, to create a “documentary literature” in the form of a brochure, to fight against usury (pretext for the anti-Semitism), fight against Jewish ghettos and Arab ghettos reform of Jewish customs and costume, “a sign of Jewish servility in the past”. Lecache recalls that it was the Muslims who provoked the creation of the local sections of the LICA.
