A welcome JTA article on the peaceful coexistence of Zionist Jews and Palestine-supporting Arabs in Panama:
Inside the stores here — wholesale distribution centers for Asian goods seeking Latin American importers — businesses run by Orthodox Jews and Arab Muslims operate side by side with nary a hint of conflict. In some cases, businesses are co-owned by Jews and Arabs.
Nightclubs are packed with young Jews and Arabs more concerned about partying the night away than the faith of their fellow partygoers.
Both religions are thriving in this small Caribbean country. Disregard the "ever-growing flocks" condescension of making these people sound like sheep:
With three Jewish congregations — two Orthodox and one Reform — and thousands of kosher and Sabbath-observant Jews, Panama stands out in Latin America as having one of the most devout and practicing Jewish populations. Muslims are as practicing as their Jewish counterparts here; synagogues and mosques are under construction to attend to the ever-growing flocks.
Thanks for the a new challenge you have exposed in your article. One thing I’d like to discuss is that FSBO human relationships are built as time passes. By releasing yourself to owners the first end of the week their FSBO is actually announced, prior to the masses begin calling on Thursday, you build a good relationship. By giving them equipment, educational components, free accounts, and forms, you become an ally. By taking a personal interest in them plus their scenario, you make a solid interconnection that, most of the time, pays off if the owners decide to go with a representative they know plus trust preferably you actually.
