The Mexican Jews feel
that their fellow Jews of
North America were cor-
rect in showing their dis-
pleasure, but now that
they see the Mexican gov-
ernment clarifying its pol-
icy toward Zionism they
are anxious for the return
of the Jewish tourist to
their country.
The key word is "nor-

malize." The conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations
has asked that relations
with Mexico be normalized,
and Mexico's Jewish popula-
tion wants normalized rela-
tions between Mexico and
Israel, and between Mexico
and all Jewish communities
around the world.
I was in Mexico during
the, visit of Israel's Foreign
Minister Yigal Allon. Mexi-
co's Jews were very much
concerned about the Allon
visit because he was the
first major Israeli diplomat
to visit Mexico since the
problem over the UN vote
began.
They were pleased that no
major problem developed
during the Allon visit. In

fact, they were heartened
by Allon's assessment of the
meetings: "Both Mexico and
Israel can be very satisfied
with the exchange of trade
as it stands today, and can
look forward to increasing
it." Several cooperative pilot
projects have been set up in
Mexico and Israel which will
benefit both countries.

In answer to the ques-
tion, "How are the Jews of
Mexico doing?", is "Muy
Bueno." They are proud of
their country and their
Jewish heritage. They be-
lieve their government is
behind them now as it has
been in the past. They
point with pride to the
time Mexico offered un-
limited numbers of blank
visas through Switzerland
to the Jews of Europe
when almost all other na-
tions of the world includ-
ing the United States were
turning their backs.

Mexico's Jews are eager
for a dialogue with Jews
from other countries. They
hope that as Jewish tourists
return to Mexico they will
take the time to see for
themselves what a thriving
Jewish community exists
"south of the border."
