AJ+ Has A Short Video On Arabs in Latin America


Posted on YouTube: September 14, 2019

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.
