An very interesting documentary from Brazil (dating back to 2010, I believe – about Arabs in Brazil).
The subtitles are in Spanish, but you can auto-generate English subtitles.
This is in Portuguese, but there is an option to have it translated to English.
I have noted this on other posts/pages but Al Jazeera does a great job of reporting on Latin America – a job that our American networks miss.

There is no reason that our own networks ignore Latin America, and it does cost us in influence. If you think that Latin Americans do not notice who is paying attention to them, then you are mistaken.
Some of Al Jazeera’s more recent reports for South America.

Chile’s large and very influential Palestinian (mostly Christian) community has added an anti-Israel influence to a lot of Chile’s culture and politics. I do not say all Chileans have this attitude, but it is magnified by the prosperity and clout of Chile’s Palestians. This is sad.

… Chile has long been a hotbed of anti-Israel extremism due to its population of half a million Palestinians, but the situation for Jewish students on campus grows worse by the day.
Sadly, the extremism in Chile that is often manifested as harassment of the Jewish community (in particular on campuses) has been largely ignored by Israel and the global Jewish world, as it has continued to grow.
Last week Chile’s Israel hatred finally went viral, with Chile even trending on Twitter in Israel during Chile’s “apartheid week.” The impetus? A visit from Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad, who spoke on multiple campuses about the cooperation between Arabs and Jews within Israel, contrary to the extremist narrative of the Palestinian community.
…
A major reason for this flare-up was a visit by Yousef Haddad, an Israeli-Arab who served in the IDF. Mr. Haddad – who says he is a Christian Arab – is a pro-Israel advocate, and the pro-Palestinian students did not appreciate his message.

Chile is a bizarre outlier on this.
Historically, Chile has been tolerant and friendly to Jews, but the presence of half a million Palestinians in Chile has distorted the discussion.
The election of a new President in Chile has Jews worried.

Anti-Zionist Gabriel Boric’s presidential win leaves Chile’s Jews worried
Gabriel Boric called Israel a “murderous state” in a meeting with Chile’s Jewish community during his campaign.
…
Boric has previously supported a drafted bill in Chile’s National Congress calling for a boycott of goods, services and products from Israeli settlements.
In addition, Boric called Israel a “murderous state” in a meeting with the Jewish community during his campaign and signed a statement of support to the Palestinian cause in a meeting with the president of the 350,000-strong Palestinian community of Chile.

Chile has a very large Palestinian population (mostly Christian), and this has affected the country’s politics.
