the capitulation and expul-
sion of the Arabs, but the
Embassy since has been as
well guarded as a bank vault.
The small Embassy staff
fulfills an exemplary role in
developing s constructive
relationship between the two
countries. About 50 Thais
travel to Israel each year on
scholarships and Israelis have
come to Thailand as experts
in agriculture, public health
and education. In this devel-
oping country, now experienc-
ing an economic boom, many
substantial joint projects
benefit from Israeli know-how
and technology.
Buddhist Thailand has al-
ways been well disposed
towards Israel and a Thai-
Israel Friendship Association
attracts attendances of up to
500 at its meetings. And the
formal relationship between
the two governments is good
even though Thailand has not
established an Embassy in
Israel. Informal relations are
even better. The venerated
royal family and individual
ministers maintain a warm in-
terest in Israel, not unmind-
ful of the advantages of
cooperation.
Yet Thailand is less than
friendly to the Jewish state in
the international arena and
invariably votes against
Israel at the United Nations.
The government sees this as
the price for remaining on
good terms with Moslem
countries and, in particular,
with its neighbor, Malaysia.
Malaysia is fanatically
Moslem. As recently as last
February, the National
Moslem Religious Council im-
posed whipping as the penal-
ty for religious offenses like
drinking and illicit sex. And
it will be recalled that last
year a visit by the New York
Symphony was cancelled be-
cause the Malaysians objec-
ted to the inclusion of a
Hebrew item in the program.
Why 52 million Thais
should be so nervous about
the 16 million Malaysians is
not clear, but in general the
Thai government tends to be
timorous and reluctant to
give offense. Some of its ap-
prehension arises out of the
problem of its own Moslem
population in the south which
has links with Malaysian co-
religionists. The Thais are
fearful that a separatist
movement might be encour-
aged were they seen to be too
friendly towards Israel. ❑
