Renseignement sur l’état d’esprit chez les israélites, Alger, 26 novembre 1938
Description
This report signals a turnaround among the Israelites. In recent years, they had carried out sustained action among the indigenous population (Elie Gozlan, Doctor Loufrani, etc.). It is indicated that Mr. Gozlan no longer sees Sheikh El Okbi and he would advise his co-religionists to advance less with the European left or far-left parties. According to some rumors, Mr. Gozlan would have done quests for the benefit of Zionism, which earned him the disapproval or disaffection of many Muslims. The Jews lose the sympathy of the Muslims. The religious Muslim elements (marabouts and Ulemas) are reserved and cautious on this subject.
