Palestinians Flexed Muscles in Chile

The Chilean Senate last week approved a resolution calling on President Sebastian Pinera Echenique to adopt a law boycotting settlement goods and banning commercial activity with companies that operate in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The motion passed on 30 June with 29 votes in favour and six abstentions, no votes were cast against the move.

This story is about two months late before I caught it on a written news story, here, but it was not headlines in America. — Though I did catch it earlier (Click Here) as a video report.

The World Jewish Congress considers the Chilean Senate’s move to be anti-semitic.

There is no way that this could have occurred in the United States. In Chile,even conservative presidents, like Pinera, have to yield to the Palestinian bloc.

It is hard to understand the power that Palestinians have in Chilean politics. There is no equivalent here in the USA.

But this Chilean senator (Alejandro Navarro) went to the Fourth Global Convention of Solidarity with Palestine.

I do not think he, himself, is Palestinian in origin, but he embraces their cause.

He is still a senator in Chile, as of this writing.

Can you imagine an American senator doing what Senator Navarro did?

This video came from MEMRI – a pro-Israel advocacy group. They claim to be non-partisan.
