“We have no problems with Jews, only with Zionists,” Marwan Tahboub, the Palestine Liberation Organization representative in Mexico, today told the daily newspaper, Excelsior. He also announced that the PLO will be in full operation next year when they open their office and praised the Mexican government, President Lopez Portillo and former President Luis Echeverria for their policies toward the Middle East problems and the Arab-Israeli conflict. In addition to attacking Zionism, Tahboub also denounced “Israeli aggression” against the Arab people. A sharp attack against Zionist and Israeli policy also appeared today in El Nacional, the official daily of the Mexican government. The article was written by Sophie Margarinos, a PLO supporter.
