Pro-Israel Rally in Argentina


From: November 2012 during the military actions against Gaza

YouTube Comment by AssyrianPride1000

A group of Argentinians (150), followed by some Centrist and Central Right wing activists as well as some members of the Evangelical Churches came out to show their support for Israel against Hamas war crimes.

Clearly, there are more than 150 in that crowd.

The poster’s name is AssyrianPride1000, which is a reference to the persecuted Assyrian Christians.

However, he is posting in English, not Spanish which is odd; and he lists his country of origin as Iraq, which is odder.

Whether this is primarily Jewish community show of support or not is immaterial. There are roughly 200,000 Jews in Argentina, and they are the largest Jewish community in the Spanish speaking world. They used to be even higher in number, till Argentina’s economic crises drove them to Israel. Argentina’s Jews still have clout.

The comment says there are Evangelicals in the crowd. Of this, I have no doubt.

Evangelicals are not as strong in Argentina as they are in Brazil or Chile; but they are starting to grow, and change things. Already they are 10% of the population in Argentina.

I have seen very strong pro-Israel support come for the richer more elite Catholic sections of Argentina.

The Arabs have effected the culture of South America; but their Arabs are Christian primarily, and they have not changed the Christian aspect of the society. In fact, their Christianity has become Westernized in South America.

Syrian-Lebanese Club in Santos, Brazil


57th Anniversary of Syrian-Lebanese Club in Santos Brazil

santos_brazil_mapSantos is a city of 400,000 on the coast, in the São Paulo province in South Brazil. These people are almost certainly all Christian or close to it.

The Lebanese-Christian immigrants to Brazil, and to the rest of the Americas, can trace their roots back to a flight from Turkish and Muslim persecutions. Syrian Christians came to the New World also.

During the Lebanese Civil War, there was a further migration of Lebanese Christians to Brazil.

Brazil is now about 7½% Arab in ethicity. Lebanese Kibbe is now a national dish in Brazil; and can be bought from street vendors everywhere. Of course, there is also a major food chain called Habib’s which serves a mix of Western and Lebanese fast food.

Arabs in Brazil are a major force.

Why Islam Will Not Succeed In Latin America

Not only Chile, but Brazil, and even Argentina to an extent, are also having a major Evangelical Revival.

You have a few thousand converts to Islam in Latin America. So what? You have millions of Latins converting to Evangelicalism.

If one were to put the Palestinians in South America, within two generations, most of them would be converted.

These Evangelicals tend to be very pro-Israel; and the Palestinian supporters in Chile are upset with the Evangelicals, especially since the Evangelicals outnumber all the Arabs – not just the Palestinians – three to one.

While Chile did grant recognition to Palestine, they put strong conditions on it.

I am sure that in the contest between Evangelicals and pro-Palestinians-Chileans, the Evangelicals will prevail.
