A Short Video on Chile’s CD Palestino


Posted on YouTube: November 7, 2023

This is from Al Jazeera Spanish.

It is about the Palestinian Soccer Club in Santiago, Chile (CD Palestino).

CD Palestino = Club Deportivo Palestino = Palestinian Sports Club

The soccer club is world famous.

The comments (underneath the Video, on the YouTube page) show that a lot of people who are not Arab, nor Palestinian, nor from Chile, root for the team.

The team has taken on a political life of its own.

This particular video has been politicized, as it references the present Gaza War in one of its images.
