It appears that Israeli academics are becoming very interested in the Arabs of Latin America, with particular attention to the migration of Palestinians to Chile.
The discussions are in English, though the speakers have noticable Hebrew accents.
I wonder if they go any information from this site. Hmm?!
It is a very good history of the Palestinian community in Chile.

Without getting too involved in the crisis in Venezuala (as of February 14, 2019), there is an Arab factor to this.
The former-president Hugo Chavez and the present dictator Maduaro were/are both pro-Palestinian. Maduro has allowed the Lebanese group, Hezbollah, into Venezuela.
While it is true that Venezuela had approximately 1,600,000 citizens of Arab descent, about 5% of the population (in 2017), almost all were Christian. They would have had nothing to do with allowing an Islamic insurgency group into Venezuela.
That idiocy was the working of Hugo Chavez who worked out a deal with Iran, Iran’s proxy: Hezbollah, and cooperated with Iran’s propaganda outlet HispanTV.

February 12, 2019Margarita Island off the Caribbean coast of Venezuela serves as a hub for drug trafficking and Hezbollah as well as other Islamist extremists such as Hamas. Margarita Island is being used by Iranian and Iranian-linked militants as a base of operations. Steinitz further added that “attention has focused on the group’s presence among Lebanese Shia in the 12,000-strong Arab community on Margarita Island.”
…
Venezuela became interested in asymmetric warfare in 2006 under Chávez. Terrorism is a part of asymmetric warfare, and Venezuela’s participation “has allowed Hezbollah to plan, fundraise, train, coordinate and carry out operations, mostly fundraising and intelligence collection.”
Chavez and Maduro had allowed Hezbollah far too much free reign. Hezbollah has a massive influence in Venezuela, and the opposition to Maduro wants the Lebanese group, Hezbollah, out.
The opposition to Maduro is taking a pro-Israel stance.

You read that rightly. The present contender, Juan Guaidó, wants Israel to help Venezuela get Hezbollah out.
Let us hope that Hezbollah is soon evicted from Venezuela.
However, we should be aware that Islamic influences have gone too far in Latin America, already. There was never a danger of a South American country becoming an Islamic Republic; but there is a large amount of anti-Israel attitudes among some Latins, much of which was purchased by Iran and (originally) Saudi Arabia – though Saudi Arabia is starting to have a rapprochement with Israel.
Again, this is not to say that Venezuela will be turning Islamic any time soon. Not by a long shot! The vast majority of Venezuelans of Arab descent are Christian – some even Evangelical Christian.
While there are Muslims in Venezuela, their numbers are grossly exaggerated; and Muslims are less than 1% of the population. Many of those might leave if Maduro is booted out of office.
But, as noted, Iranian money has been spent to foster an anti-Israel stance in much of Latin America. In Venezuela, this may be about to end.
Around the same time, Brazil has elected a pro-Israel president whose wife is Evangelical. The Evangelicals (pro-Israel) are turning the tide in South America.
