NEW YORK — Reports
here from Mexico City show
that the Mexican tourist
industry is suffering owing
to a Jewish boycott in the
U.S. which arose following
Mexico's UN vote in favor of
equating Zionism with ra-
cism.
A New York Times adver-
tisement recently published
by 46 Jews called on "good
people of all faiths" to avoid
traveling to or doing busi-
ness with Mexico since it be-
came "a less desirable place
to visit or to do business
with" following its vote in
the UN.
Since then, the Sheraton
chain's Maria-Isabel Hotel
here has received cancella-
tions for two large Ameri-
can conventions on the
ground that some of those
planning to attend were
Jews.
The tourist industry in
Mexico is deeply con-
cerned that Mexico's vote
at the United Nations will
be interpreted as anti-
Jewish. More than 80 per-
cent of the three million
foreigners who visit Mex-
ico are Americans.
Meanwhile, former Presi-
dent Miguel - Aleman as-
sured a Jewish delegation at
his home that Mexico's vote
in favor of the anti-Zionist
resolution in the UN Ge-
neral Assembly did not re-
flect a hostile position to-
ward Israel or the Jewish
people.
Aleman, who is presently
chairman of the National
Tourism Council, invited lo-
cal Jewish leaders to dinner
at his home. The guests in-
cluded Simon Feldman,
president of the Ashkenazic
community, Sergio Nudel-
stejer, secretary general of
the Central Jewish Commit-
tee and Tevia Maizel, a so-
ciologist and personal friend
of the ex-president.
The gathering followed a
mass protest meeting
against the UN resolution.
The meeting was organized
by the Central Jewish Com-
mittee and the Mexican
Zionist Federation.
In Rio de Janeiro, Presi-
dent Ernesto Geisel told a
delegation of Brazil's Jew-
ish community, on Mon-
day, that all Jewish or-
ganizations may continue
their activities as before.
This was understood to be
an assurance that no re-
strictions will be made re-
garding Zionist activities,
following Brazil's vote in
the UN for the anti-Zionist
resolution.
In reaction to the UN
vote, the Jewish War Veter-
ans of USA urged all Ameri-
can citizens to discontinue
travel to any foreign coun-
try which voted in favor of
the United Nations' anti-
Zionist resolutions.
Evangelist Billy Graham,
who was in Israel last week-
for a two-day visit at the
invitation of Premier Yit-
zhak Rabin, said the United
Nations had made a serious
mistake in equating Zion-
ism with racism.
He noted that the recent
General Assembly resolu-
tion was likely to backfire
against the world organiza-
tion and served to divide
even more an already div-
ided world.
In Miami, a resolution
condemning those United
Nations member states
that voted for the General
Assembly resolution
equating Zionism with ra-
cism was adopted by the
Miami City Commission.
Sponsored by Mayor
Maurice Ferre, the resolu-
tion termed the Assembly
measure "contrary to the in-
tent and purpose for which
the UN was created" and
"contrary to the recognition
afforded the state of Israel
by the UN."
Michigan Attorney Ge-
neral Frank Kelley, in let-
ters to Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger and
U.S. Ambassador to the UN
Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
stated that it was "mali-
cious nonsense . . . for an-
yone to seriously urge that
Zionism is a form of ra-
cism."
Kelley stated in part:
"The recent action of
the United Nations Ge-
neral Assembly in charac-
terizing the Zionist move-
ment, and Zionism per se,
as a form of racism was a
shock to me, as I am sure it
was to all right-thinking
Americans.
"To identify an historical
effort by the Jewish people,
themselves the subject of so
much discrimination in our
time and throughout his-
tory, as an evil movement,
to label it as a form of dis-
crimination, and to con-
demn it as an improper as-
piration is, in my judgment,
malicious nonsense .. .
"In Israel, one finds free-
dom, and one finds a total
lack of racism."
