Western Networks Should Cover Latin America

I have noted this on other posts/pages but Al Jazeera does a great job of reporting on Latin America – a job that our American networks miss.

There is no reason that our own networks ignore Latin America, and it does cost us in influence. If you think that Latin Americans do not notice who is paying attention to them, then you are mistaken.

Some of Al Jazeera’s more recent reports for South America.

Chilestinians (Palestinian-Chileans) came out to protest the Israel-Gaza War of 2021.

Points to remember:

1) Most Chilestinians are Christian, descended from Arab Christians who fled the Muslim Turks.

2) The few Muslims among the Chilestinians are recent arrivals.

3) Chile is on the other side of the world, so it is late autumn there.

4) Chilestinians are very influential in Chile.

AJ+ Has A Short Video On Arabs in Latin America

AJ+ (a subsidiary of Al Jazeera) put out a three minute video about the Arabs in Latin America. It is untranslated, but you can make most of it out.

If we Americans ignore the Arabs of Latin America, the Arabs in the Middle East do not.

The video estimates 20 million Arabs in Latin America. I would place it a bit higher, if one considers that many Lebanese Maronites consider themselves Phoenician, and will not list themselves as Arabic on a census.

I would estimate 25 million.
