Again, Who Is Xavier Abu Eid?

Google translation:

“War crimes are committed and Hamas is not there… Today Palestinians cannot get to work because of the Israeli blockades… It cannot be pointed out that any attack by civilians can be justified in any way” denounced the political scientist from the West Bank. Chilean Palestinian Xavier Abu Aid (tv12 telemundo)

It is Xavier Abu Eid (or Aid).

He has been around since forever, but I have not read about him for years. He is a Chilean spokesman for the PLO.

Xavier Abu Eid. Who is Xavier Abu Eid?

1) He is Chilean

2) He is a political scientist, and advisor to the PLO, as well as one of their chief spokesmen.

3) He went to Universidad Diego Portales (Diego Portales University) in Chile.

4) He has media clout in Latin America, though he is unknown in the USA.

5) Being Chilean, he is almost certainly Christian.

6) He writes for Al-Damir, a Palestinian-Chilean Magazine, run by the Fundación Belen (Bethlehem Foundation) – English language link, which also exhalts Arab-Chileans in Chilean Life. It claims to have a Christian emphasis, but some have suspected it of working with Hamas.

The name Xavier Abu Eid is almost certainly a pen name, as Xavier is a Catholic name while Abu Eid is probably Islamic.

It is an appeal to Latin Americans.

Argentina, the Other Outlier with Lots of Jews

Argentina still has a lot of Jews; the sixth largest community of Jews outside of Israel. Unlike Chile, where Palestinians are influential, the Jews of Argentina still pack a wallop.

Source: Buenos Aires Herald – October 9, 2023 Hundreds of people took part in a march in Buenos Aires on Monday in support of Israel following the deadly terror attacks carried out by the Islamist group Hamas in the Middle East.

Headed by the country’s leading Jewish organisations, the march in Almagro was a chance for porteños to show solidarity with Israel.

The vast majority of them live in Buenos Aires, and four days ago they had a massive protest in support of Israel.

…

“The only solution is for the Gaza Strip, which originally belonged to the Jewish people, to be vacated,” Rafael Yablonosky, a 60-year-old doctor, said as he rallied.

The last comment is interesting, as Mr. Yablonsky does not say where the Gazans should go.

But, technically, Argentina has not been so hostile to Jews.

What about Juan Peron and the Nazis?

Juan Peron was NOT a Nazi. He considered Italian Fascist economics as interesting, but that was economics. He did not purchase into Germany’s racial theories. One of Peron’s advisors was Jewish.

Argentina had a problem with leftists, and at that time in history, many Jews were leftist. Conservative Jews were usually left alone. There were issues during the period of the junta (1976-83), but the junta went after every suspected leftist, Jew or Gentile.

Jews have had a major role in Argetina’s history. The contributed a lot to the evolution of tango music.

The Jewish population in Argentina is large, because, for the most part, Argentina was friendly to Jews.

True! Check out Moisés Ville above.

In fact, Theodore Herzl and Baron Maurice de Hirsch even considered purchasing a province in Argentina to create the Jewish state. The rabbis shot that idea down.

For them, it was the Holy Land or Nothing.

Palestinian-Chileans Are Not Taking the 2023 Gaza Operation Well

Chile, for its part, is home to the largest Palestinian diaspora outside of the Middle East. Migration peaked in the early 20th century, and the Palestinian Chilean population is estimated at between 300,000 and 500,000 people. The size of the community has impacted Chilean culture, domestic politics, and foreign policy for years. A first-division soccer club is named Palestino FC, and its logo features the colors of the Palestinian flag. The Chilean legislature boasts a large Palestinian caucus. In 2005, Chile became one of the first non-Arab countries to join the Arab League as an observer.

A smaller Jewish community of some 20,000 people also live in the country …

Powerful Chilean congressional and private sector groups have campaigned for Palestinian human rights for years, and the public conversation about the escalating situation in Israel-Palestine over the past week has often taken a more long-term, historical perspective than elsewhere in the Americas, including in the United States.

Chilean analysts who have appeared on television and radio programs and written in newspapers following this weekend’s attack have spoken not only about Hamas’s rampage through southern Israel but also about its broader context. …

That’s not to say that Chile’s public debate was without major rifts and controversies. The Palestinian Chilean mayor of a municipality within the Santiago metropolitan area, Daniel Jadue, tweeted immediately after the attack that “the people of Palestine have a right to resist” before later condemning violence against civilians. When asked about Jadue’s comments, the Israeli ambassador said “they crossed all the lines” while acknowledging that many other Chilean Palestinians had directly condemned the Hamas attacks.

Chile is an outlier. Because of its Palestinian population, which is rich and influential, Chile cannot be expected to tow the Western Line when it comes to Israel or Zionism.

Even though most of Chile’s Palestinians are Christian, many descended from refugees who fled Muslim persecution in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they have a blind spot about “Palestine.” They hate the Jewish state, and are vehemently opposed to Israel.

The Palestinian Community is organizing to get its own side of the story about the Hamas-Israel war out to the public.

They had a public meeting on October 11.

As this video of CLUB PALESTINO (social club( shows, the Palestinians (nicknamed: The Chilestinos) are a political force to be reckoned with.

So the Chilean government did support Israel … officially, but do so gingerly.
