A Video About the Stadium in Chile for CD Palestino


Published on YouTube: October 21, 2018

The video does have an auto translate option under settings, though it is hard to set properly.

This a short intro to the La Cisterna (a suburb of Santiago) Municipal Stadium in Chile. As one notices, the stadium is bedecked with the effects of Palestinian resistance: Palestinian flags, Palestinian colors, a painting of Palestinians in keffiyahs, and a map of Palestine that excludes Israel.

As noted many times, though the Palestinians of Chile are 99% Christian, they have identified with the Palestinian cause in the Mideast, even though that cause has an Islamist flavor.

They seem to have forgotten that their ancestors fled the Holy Land because of Islamic oppression.

But they are a force in sports in Chile – They have a rivalry with the University of Chile. They are a second national team to the Palestinians in the Holy Land. They have even signed up a Muslim player from the Palestinian territories. And, by dint of their fame and devotion, CD Palestino has become a political force as well.

It is a rather strange arrangement. Sports in America tends to be apolitical. Not so in Chile, nor the Mideast.

Chilean Soccer (Futbol) Team Installs Palestinian Colored Seats

This is a bit hard to explain to my fellow Americans.

But in Chile, there is a soccer (futbol) team with the name of Palestinian (Palestino). It fans glory in the Palestinian cause.

They announced on Twitter today, that their home stadium (La Cisterna) has installed new seats, which are red, white, and green.

Red, white, and green are the colors of CD Palestino (Palestinian Sport Club), but the colors are derived from the red, white, green, and black which were the colors of the Arab Revolt against the Turks, and which morphed into the Palestinian flag.

So this soccer team in Chile is celebrating 2,350 new seats which are in three of the four colors of the Palestinian Flag.
