Incredible History of Palestinians in Chile

This is a short but very good video, if one ignores the bias. However, it takes a few seconds to load.

@themujerista The history of Palestinian migration to Latin America 🇵🇸 🌍🌎🌏 Palestinian migration to Latin American occurred in four significant waves with Chile now being home to the largest Palestinian diaspora outside of the Middle East. #palestine #chile ♬ original sound – The Mujerista

Of course, this lady seems to have a bias against Israel, but the history is good.

What is again worth repeating is that almost all of the Palestinians who moved to Chile were Christians, either Roman Catholic or Eastern Christian (Orthodox). They assimilated well, and have risen to become elites in the country.

Such is the political power of the Palestinian-Chileans – called Chilestinos – that they have distorted Chile’s foreign policy against Israel. Otherwise, Chile would be a quite typical Western democracy.

This pro-Palestinian slant has caused concern among Jewish groups around the world, as can be seen in the video, from the World Jewish Congress, below.

The Palestinian Community in Chile does not mince words.

What the picture says is: Imagine bombing 4 countries at the same time and continuing to believe yourself to be the victim.

However, the Jews are a very small population in Chile, and can do little to resist the pro-Palestinian slant.

This is not to say the government is antisemitic. It is NOT! Chile is quite democratic, but the government is swayed by a Chilestino population that outnumbers the Jews about 30 to 1.

It is with good reason that the Jews of the world keep an eye on Chile.

This is one of their documentaries on the “Naqba.”

Argentine Pope Calls For An Investigation to See If Gaza Is A Genocide


Posted on YouTube: November 18, 2024

Remember that the Pope (born: Jorge Mario Bergoglio) is an Argentine, born in Buenos Aires. Hence this does bear on the subjects of Arabs and Latin America.

Pope Francis has called for an investigation to determine if Israel’s attacks in Gaza constitute genocide, according to excerpts released Sunday from an upcoming new book ahead of the pontiff’s jubilee year.

It’s the first time that Francis has openly urged an investigation of genocide allegations over Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. In September, he said Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon had been “immoral” and disproportionate, and that its military had gone beyond the rules of war.

The book, by Hernán Reyes Alcaide and based on interviews with the pope, is entitled “Hope Never Disappoints: Pilgrims Towards a Better World.” It will be released on Tuesday ahead of the pope’s 2025 jubilee, a yearlong celebration that’s expected to bring more than 30 million pilgrims to Rome.

Needless to say: pro-Jewish, pro-Israel advocates are furious, as seen from these other sources.

Chilean President Calls For Gaza Action

Soure: Chile’s president calls for action to address humanitarian crisis in Gaza at G20 summit
by Sinan Dogan
November 19, 2024

Chilean President Gabriel Boric used his address at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to urge world leaders to take action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

“The grave humanitarian crisis we are experiencing today, which profoundly affects us, exposes millions of people to the consequences of war,” Boric said, referring to Israel’s ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

Boric called for international collaboration to address inequality, migration and food security.

“The same applies to the conflict in the Gaza Strip,” he said. “We do not shy away from reiterating our position.”

Some notes to observe.

President Boric of Chile is a leftist president in Chile, where Palestinian-Chileans (Chilestinos) have a lot of political clout.

The Anadolu Agency, the source of this story, is a Turkish news agency. Turkey has an Islamic culture; and its President Erdogan is considered semi-dictatorial, and has turned Turkey against Israel. Press freedom is limited. So take that into account.

Iran’s HispanTV Spreading Antisemitism in Latin America (MORE)

HispanTV, the Iranian regime’s Spanish-language news channel, spreads anti-Jewish hatred and disinformation about the Middle East conflict, international analysts say.

“By targeting the world’s nearly 600 million Spanish speakers through satellite, cable, livestreaming, its internet platform, and social media […], HispanTV plays the leading role in disseminating anti-Jewish hate and anti-Israel prejudice in Latin America in particular and in the Spanish-speaking world globally,” the New York-based nongovernmental organization Anti-Defamation League (ADL) states in its report HispanTV: The Iranian regime’s Long Arm of Hate in Latin America.

“In addition to physical violence, the Islamic Republic of Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of anti-Semitism and terrorism — uses cultural centers and media outlets throughout Latin America to incite hostility against Jewish communities,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO, in a July 15 statement. “The cynical use of media outlets such as HispanTV to amplify anti-Semitic conspiracies and disinformation is reprehensible and unethical.”

There have been attempts to stop HispanTV (see video above). Apparently, HispanTV gets around this by being picked up by other outlets.

LatinArabia has been noting – and warning about – the propagandizing efforts of Iran in Latin America for years. This has been a long time cause for concern.

I suspect this news story (above) is another follow up story to an ADL report that I posted on earlier (Click Here). More than one news outlet is reporting on the ADL’s own warnings.

Something to notice if you do watch HispanTV: Look at the female announcers on HispanTV. Almost all have hijabs. Not exactly free speech.

I will NOT link to their video feeds.

HispanTV is worrisome.
