Jews in Latin America Feel Unsafe

As noted, Latin America has an enormous population of Arab descent. Many of these Arab-Latins are NOT taking the news from Gaza that well, particularly in Chile where there is a large properous elite of Christian-Palestinian descent, the Chilestinos.

The backlash is exacerbating antisemitism in Latin America. It is gathering attention.

Latin America has long nurtured an antisemitic underbelly that has drawn scant international media attention, even after the October 7 attacks. Latin America is home to approximately 500,000 Jews, including nearly 200,000 in Argentina alone. In Brazil, antisemitic attacks have risen by nearly 1,000% since October 7.

…

In Peru, right-wing extremists targeted a prominent Peruvian Jewish journalist by screaming antisemitic chants outside his home, including showing posters of rats holding bags of money.

In Nicaragua, Jewish cemeteries have been vandalized and desecrated. Vicente Fox, Mexico’s former president, accused presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum – who has Jewish parents – of being “a Jew and foreigner at the same time.”

…

In the past, such antisemitism has moved from words to murder.

…

Shortly after Israel began its defense, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, and Chile recalled their ambassadors from the region. Bolivia cut off diplomatic relations with Israel, accusing the nation of crimes against humanity.

Of course, this has to stop. Individual Jews should NOT feel threatened.

Ecuador and the UAE Begin Talks on Commercial Accord

The Government of the United Arab Emirates would be interested in investing in logistics services and the creation of a regional distribution hub in Ecuador.

This February 28, 2024, the Minister of Production, Foreign Trade, Investments and Fisheries, Sonsoles García , spoke with Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Commerce of the United Arab Emirates , about the potential of the commercial relationship between both countries.

As noted many times in the past, the Arabs and the Latin American nations do a lot of business together. And they are interested in economic alliances.

As for Ecuador, at the time of this post, Wikipedia reports that Ecuador has only about 2,000 Muslims out of a country of over 16 million – or roughly only 1 out of 9,000 people.

The (Christian) Lebanese demographic is about 100,000 though, about 50 times the number of Muslims. Again, as noted, that vast majority of Arabs in Latin America are Christian. The Lebanese came to Ecuador fleeing the tyranny of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire.

Yet, amazingly, Ecuador has had three presidents with Arab ancestry.

What we see is that the Arabs tend to be elites in South America.

Yes, I know that – at the time of this writing – Ecuador is having a national crisis over gangs, but that does not change the fact that Arabs have done well in Ecuador.

A Worrisome Playlist of Nasty Propaganda

A Worrisome Playlist of Nasty Propaganda


The playlist was posted on YouTube: Around 2024
(It can be auto-translated)

This is the playlist of an Iranian propaganda series, translated: Window on Palestine. Make no mistake about it, this is very slanted propaganda, but it is what is being peddled throughout Latin America by Iran and Venezuela.

We dealt with this (Click Here) earlier. But now, we wanted you to see the whole playlist.

The show is peddled through the HispanTV network, an Iranian-Venezualan propaganda project. HispanTV has been removed from American and European Satellites because it is deemed distorted propaganda. It is considered antisemitic and anti-Zionist. Google blocked HispanTV‘s YT channel, but it is still leaks through Latin American channels, such as Daniel Jadue’s.

I posted this only for information. Iran is a detestable dictatorship.

This particular anti-Israel series is hosted by a Chilestino (Palestinian-Chilean) leftist politician called Daniel Jadue. He is a major player in Chilean politics, and we have already dealt with him (Click Here) in the past.

Mr. Jadue is Palestinian-Christian in background – though he is now an atheist – who shares nothing in common with the Shia Islamists in Iran (partners in HispanTV), except their disdain for Israel.

What has to be remembered is that most of the Arabs in Chile are Palestinian in origin. And almost all of those Palestinians are Christian. Very few were/are Muslim.

Given that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a religious war, the Chilestinos (Palestinian-Chileans) in Chile are divorced from the underlying reality to the conflict. They forget that many of their ancestors fled Muslim tyranny.

Diplomatic Row Over Lula’s Comments


Posted on YouTube: February 20, 2024

The President of Brazil, President Lula, has made some comments comparing the plight of Palestinians in Gaza to the Holocaust.

Well, the Israeli spin machine was furious.

Israel’s Netanyahu slams Brazilian president’s comparison of Gaza war to the Holocaust
February 18, 2024

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL (AP) — Israel on Sunday condemned Brazil’s president for comparing the war in Gaza to the Holocaust, accusing him of being antisemitic and trivializing the Nazi genocide of European Jews during World War II.

The outcry further strained relations between the countries, which have deteriorated since President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva returned to office last year. Lula has portrayed himself as a leader of the “ Global South,” a loosely defined group of developing countries.

Of course, Israel goes into attack mode with any comparison of its operations in Gaza to what the Nazis did to the Jews in Europe in World War II.

But Colombia and Brazil are standing by Brazil.

Colombia, Bolivia back Brazil’s Lula in Israel row over Gaza war comments
21 Feb 2024

Colombia and Bolivia are backing Brazil as its diplomatic row with Israel escalated after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, comparing its actions with the Holocaust.

Well, Brazil was wrong, to be sure. But was it wise for Israel to make this a bigger issue than it should be?
