Abstract:
In 1975, president Luis Echeverría Álvarez's Third World policies resulted in Mexico voting "yes" for the UN resolution equating Zionism with racism. When American Jewry boycotted tourism to Mexico, the Jewish community in Mexico was accused, both by public opinion and the government, of being disloyal and siding with the enemy, and was condemned with traditional anti-Jewish stereotypes. In 1991, when events in the Persian Gulf triggered a new wave of popular antisemitic attacks combining traditional stereotypes and accusations of Jewish imperialism, militarism, and oppression of Palestinians, president Carlos Salinas de Gortari's policy of close contacts with the USA and Western countries resulted in a Mexican vote in favor of revocation of the UN resolution of Zionism=racism, as well as in official support for the Mexican Jewish community.
