This video was discovered a bit late …
HOWEVER, Brazil may have the largest amount of ethnic Lebanese on the planet … at least 10 Million. So, to give condolences to the victims of the August 4 explosion in Beirut, Brazil lit up the Christ the Redeemer statue.
I built this site 8 years ago, just as responsive design was starting to take off. Responsive themes were still a novel idea then, and a lot of sites were not responsive, so I saw no harm in building a non-responsive site.
However, I started having problems with the old theme, and I have had to change to a newer responsive theme.
So I will be making a lot of adjustments over time.
A lot of old posts will be off-kilter for a while.

More on the Centennial of the Palestino Soccer Club in Chile.
Some Israelis try to deny the existence of a Palestinian identity/nationality.
How do they explain that this club was started in 1920 by immigrants and the sons of immigrants to Chile?
I am actually in favor of Israel, but to deny the existence of a Palestinian people is not helpful. The reason the conflict is so vicious is precisely because a Palestinian people do exist.
NOTICE: The video is from from ARABTV in Chile.

Mr. Jorge Uauy
President of Sports Club PalestinoDear Brother:
Felicitations to [Sports Club] Palestino upon 100 years from its foundation, the celebration of 100 years of historic sport, compromising an identity representing our people in the diaspora.
We are a singular people with teams that have the same name and flag.
My regards, though you, to all the family of Palestine, the Palestinian community of Chile, Latin America, and the rest of the world. We are very proud of your achievements at the national and international level. We hope that soon you will be able to play in Holy Jerusalem, the capital of the state of Palestine, and that you will continue to bring joy and pride to our people.
Mohammed Abbas
President of the State of Palestine
The opinions of the letter belong to President Abbas, and are not mine.
Whether or not you think that Palestinians are a real people or an “invented” one, they obviously consider themselves a nationality — and so do Palestinian-Chileans.
Mohammed Abbas, the dictator of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, sent a letter of congratulation to CD (Club Deportivo/Sports Club) Palestino on the occasion of their 100th anniversary.
CD Palestino has an international following, not only in Chile, but also in the Mideast. They are a phenomenom.
This is a big deal among Palestinians in Chile and Latin America, especially Chile.
