On June 27th, 2020, on Arab TV – a cable and internet channel in Chile – premiered what will be a six part series on Palestine, called Palestinian Land or The Land of Palestine.
The show lists Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nablus and Nazareth as part of Palestine, when 2 of those cities are presently in Israel. And, as you see, these Chilean Palestinian-Christians claim all of Israel as part of Palestine.
One might ask why? Especially since American Christians are pro-Israel.
The Palestinian-Chileans come from either Catholic or Antiochan-Orthodox Christian backgrounds; and they have older replacement theologies which do not accept a Jewish state as readily as an American Evangelical would.
This difference in theology also explains why Europe can be anti-Israel. Europe is mainly Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran or Episcopalian. These are all litugical expressions of Christianity (they all have masses), and still endorse replacement theology.
American Christians are often dissident Evangelical Christians, and they endorse a Jewish state. A difference in theology has led to major political differences.
One could not get away with such a series in the USA without a public outcry being raised, however – as noted many times – due to a very small Jewish demographic in Latin America, and a large Arab demographic, there is no strong Jewish lobby to counter this anti-Zionist propaganda.
The only exception is Argentina which has a considerable Jewish population, but even in Argentina, the Arab population is much bigger.

In Chile, the power ethnic group are Palestinian Christians. They are rich, prosperous, and over-represented in politics and in the economy.
There is considerable pro-Israel sentiment in Brazil, but that comes from Evangelical Christians, not Jews.
The only two countries which have strong Evangelical power blocks are the USA and maybe Australia. Quite possibly also Brazil, but Brazil also has a massive, wealthy Arab-Brazilian block.
I doubt that one could get away with such programming in America.
What should also be obvious is that America’s – and to a lesser extent Australia’s and Brazil’s – support of Israel comes from a large Evangelical community, who support Israel. The Jewish community in America is not large enough to impose its will.
