The solidarity of the Jewish
community with Israel during the
difficult times which Israel is
facing is a thorn in the side of
the Arab diplomatic missions in
Mexico. The-se missions are at-
tempting to increase sot only
their propaganda against Israel
but against Jews in general and
∎ fexican Jewry in particular. The
%iolence of pro-Arab articles and
commentaries in the large Mexi-
can newspapers is increasing.

BLit the Jewish youth refuse tc
give in. A recently - formed young
Jewish group bears the Hebre•
name "Neged Hazer- ern . ' -Against

spoken in its opinion to the Estab-

The members of this group include
youths who declare. "either the
old emigrate to Israel or we fight
here for Socialism and justice for
the masses.•

There is no difference of opinion
among youth groups regarding ac-
tive work for Israel. Recently a
Mexican-Jewish "Youth Confedera-

tion' - was established. It cooperates

with the Zionist federation and with
the central Jewish bodies here.
Thus. Jewish leadership has suc-
