This was from two weeks ago. The President of Peru received Latin and Arab leaders.
It was the 3rd Latin Arab Summit.
There is a push to form a Latin Arab bloc.
Month: October 2012
Anti-Zionists were acquitted in 2010
This was a protest celebrating the acquittal of some anti-Zionist leaders in Argentina. They were charged with hate crimes.
It occurred in 2010, but it shows the increasing anti-Zionism in South America from the left.
What is interesting is that the Jewish community could persuade the government to lodge charges.
Argentina has a large Jewish Community. It is shrinking, but it has clout. That being said, the leaders were acquitted.
Harvest Festival, Mendoza
At the Fiesta de la Vendimia (Harvest Festival), where this dance occured in March 2012 – (remember March is the start of South America’s autumn) – these dancers were pulled by a tractor trailer with the name of Arab Car World. Not that a sign on the trailer says Arab Planet.
From Mendoza, Argentina
Mendoza, Argentina is a province in West Central Argentina with a capital city (of the same name). Greater Mendoza is the largest wine growing region of South America; and is also noted for olive oil production.
The climate is quasi-Mediterranean.
There are a lot of Arabs in the area.
They have an Islamic Center in Mendoza; but again, one has to remember that Islam is still weak in Argentina, and most Muslims are not practicing. Most Arabs in Latin America are Christian.
