  Three of the 20 ministers whom Bachelet named to her Cabinet are Jewish, a high percentage in a country containing some 15,000 Jews out of a population of 16 million, said Ram Tapia Adler, executive director of B'nai B'rith Chile.
  ...
  Adler said that the three are active and respected members of the Jewish community of Santiago, where 90 percent of the country's Jews live.
  ...
  Adler explained this as due in great part to the heavy influence of the Palestinian lobby in Chile.
  
  About 550,000 Chileans are of Arab descent and of those more than 400,000 are Palestinians, he said.
  
  "The Palestinians have tremendous economic and political clout.Five of the top 12 businesses in the country are Arab-owned.There are also 12 Palestinian congressmen," he said, "who have formed an Arab caucus which is especially vocal on Arab-Israeli issues and Middle East politics."
  
  During the second intifada, they formed a powerful pro-Palestinian lobby, the Bethlehem Foundation 2000.
  
  Adler added that there has been friction between the Jewish and Arab communities, with anti-Semitic propaganda "utilized by the local Arab groups, especially in times of heightened Middle East tensions."

  "Some have their offices or factories flooded, but it is not a matter of survival," said Ram Tapia, executive vice president of the local B'nai B'rith.
  
  Still, the 30 local Jewish institutions are working together to assist people looking for aid.Most of the aid recipients are non-Jews.
  
  At the B'nai B'rith building, some 300 square yards are filled with clothes, milk, diapers and other supplies donated by members of the community.
  
  In addition to donations, 35 Jewish volunteers spent an afternoon in Loprado County near Santiago helping some 2,000 people whose homes were flooded.
  ...
  "In Chile, we went through a terrible campaign against Israel and the Jews," Tapia said."We learned we have to act" in cooperation with the general public.

  "Some have their offices or factories flooded, but it is not a matter of survival," Ram Tapia, executive vice president of the local B'nai B'rith, told JTA by telephone.
  
  Though not directly affected, the 30 local Jewish institutions are working together to assist people looking for shelter, food and warm clothes.Most of the aid recipients are non-Jews.
  
  At the B'nai B'rith building, some 300 square yards are filled with clothes, milk, diapers and other supplies donated by members of the community.
  
  On Wednesday, the office opened a bank account to pool money to buy construction materials to rebuild houses.
  ...
  According to Tapia, the local Jewish community has always been active when its services were needed.
  
  "The new lesson is that we are answering together," Tapia said.
  
  Some 400,000 Palestinians live in Chile, out of a total population of more than 15 million.
  
  "In Chile, we went through a terrible campaign against Israel and the Jews," Tapia said."But this has shown us how to defend ourselves.Now we learned we have to act" in cooperation with the general public.
  
  Though the rain had stopped on Wednesday, more was forecast.
  
  The possibility of better weather seemed equally ominous: The huge amount of snow that has been falling over the nearby Cordillera de los Andes is not yet solid.
