NEW IN PANAMA

1,500 live in Panama City and about
300 in Colon. About one-third of
them come from Spanish or Portu-
gese ancestors who have lived in
Panama for 100 or more years; in
some cases, they have been living
in the Caribbean for 300-400 years.
About Is percent of them come
from Germany, Austria, p n d
and Russia and for the most part
arrived in Panama between 1888
and 1910. Half of Panama's Jews
are more recent arrivals from the
Middle East: Turkey, Iraq, and
Syria.
Parochial education is customary
in Panama. and Hebrew schools
play a vital role in the life of the
Jewish community. The Albert Elm
stein School in Panama City main
tains high educational standards, a
full curriculum and attracts Jews
from all SegmentS of the communi-
ty. (The school attracts non-Jew-
ish students, too, for it is highly
regarded in the general commun-
ity)
THE ALBERT EMS TEN
School has helped unite the Jewish
community in Panama. A second
unifying force is. B'nai Birth
which, though not a mass organi-
zation in Panama, is prestige
group representative of the lead
ership of all elements of the Jew
ish community. Another factor that
has brought the Jews of Panama
closer together is the sense of dam
ger that is latent in Panama's sit
uation today.
The country is suffering r m
general unrest and a rising tide of
extreme nationaliSm and anti
Americanism. The International
lists are whipping up mass resent
ment over the fact that the United
States. flag flies alone over the
Panama Canal Zone. Last Novem-
ber a group of nationalists tried to
raise the flag of Panama over the
Canal Zone but were stopped by
American soldiers.
Another cause for resentment
is the wide gap in the standard of
living enjoyed by American civil
service employees in the Canal
Zone and the workers of Panama,
whose wage scale is not very high.
THE JEWS HAVE found them
selves identified with the United
States. There are many Americans
in the Jewish community; many
Jews represent American firms and
have business interests in the Unit
ed States. Wealthy Panamanians,
both Jews and Christians, attended
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1960-03-18

American universities and send
their children there. Thus, h e
Jews of Panama find themselves
tied to the popular anti-American
sentiment and their prestige sink
ing along with that of the United
States.
The struggle in Panama has TAX
en- shape as the classic one of the
"have notS" against the "haves."
The country has just a few rich
families and great mass of pow
erty-stricken and exploited people.
There is no middle class. AS pri-
marily merchants, Jews are frac-
keted with the "haves" and have
become the target of rabble rous-
erS.
The tremendous volume of Com
munist activity in Panama is an
other factor contributing to the
country's unrest and the decline
of American prestige.
THEN TOO, THERE is a United
Arab Republic Legation in Pana-
ma. headed bv former Egyptian
intelligence officer, Mohammed ell
Tabei. His chief aide is also an
army intelligence veteran. FL Tabei
and his wife move in top social
circles in Panama and entertain
frequently.
The Arab legation lurked in the
background during the anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations. It,undoubtedly
made its contribution to the tense
situation. The Arab legation has
had much success in penetrating
the press and radio of Panama.
particularly since many of the
newspapers are poorly stated and
rely on outside sources for free
material.
The press has carried many
items concerning alleged Israeli
abuse of Arab refugees-normally
not a matter of basic interest to
newspapers in Panama. Some of
the newspapers, strongly national
iStic, frequently carry items of an
anti-Semitic character, a practice
previously unknown to the country.
IN RESPONSE TO the current
tension, the Jewish community,
through B'nai Birth, has formed
Human Rights Committee which is
planning program of counterac-
ton and community relations. Late
last December, a delegation from
the Jewish community called on
Archbishop Beckman, head of the
Roman Catholic Archdiocese in
Panama and the Canal Zone, and
discussed with him the series of
attacks which have recently been
lodged against the Jews, West In
dians, Spaniards, and Negroes of
Panama.
The archbishop agreed to partici-
pate in the formation of a Council
of Catholics and Jews for Panama
to lead and guide inter-group and
community relations activities.
Panama is a predominantly Catho-
lie country; the archbishop's rec
ommendation is a significant one.

Bonifacio Hernandez, who broad
casts his anti-Semitic material in
Panama under the radio name OF
Johnny Bonny, is a fly-by-night
operator who flourished for brief
period on a small wave length in
Panama City.
Johnny Bonny lasted about three
weeks before he was blacked out,
some time at the beginning OF the
year. Before he was silenced, how
ever, his broadcasts managed to
stir up some unpleasanmeSs; they
came at the height of great ten
sion in Panama, which is expert
encing unrest and a violent upsurge
of nationalism.

when Johnny BOnny appeared on
the scene. He began laying down a
nightly barrage against a group
of people whom he did not name,
but identified by associating them
with the Star of David and the
word Jerusalem. He charged them
with growing fat as big store own
ers while squeezing and milking
the people of Panama.
JOHNNY BONNY also accused
"these people" of violating the GUS
toms laws of Panama by bringing
in 500 left-foot shoes as samples,
thus avoiding import duties, and
few weeks later bringing in 500
right-foot shoes.
''They know lot of tricks like
these" said Johnny Bonny, "be-
cause their rabbis teach them :.
these people who suck the blood
and exploit the Panamanian peo-
pie it is no wonder that Hitler
tried to exterminate them"
Johnny Bonny was reported to
have said privately that he broad
cast in this sensational vein to build
up popularity and was paid a. Stip-
end to do so.
What's behind Johnny Bonny and
other evidences of anti-Jewish and
anti-Israel sentiment in Panama?
ANTI-SEMITISM is new in Pana-
ma, something freshly imported.
The Jewish community is well in
tegrated in the life of the country.
Discrimination against Jews, So
cial, economic, or political, is prac-
tically pon-existent.
