(obviously concerning Christmas)
The Closing Line says: THIS CHRISTMAS WE DO NOT FORGET THE CHILDREN OF BETHLEHEM

Note: the opening seconds of the video look like they were taken from the destruction in Syria, not Bethlehem. If so, the pro-Palestinian video is grossly dishonest.

The two videos on this post come from the Federación Palestina de Chile, which is extraordinarily anti-Israel. Take that into account.

I am not saying our American media lies about the Mideast. From what I have noticed, it could be argued that much of the rest of the world gets a slanted view – slanted to the opposite side of what we see in the USA.

HOWEVER, most Americans do not know what the rest of the world sees, particularly in Latin America. I offer these videos on this website as an example.

In Chile and Honduras – where Palestinians are the most influential Arabic communities – the hostility to Israel is palpable, with political clout. In those countries where the Maronite (Lebanese) Christians are the most influential Arab community, the sentiment is muted.

What is amazing is that almost all of these Palestinian-Latin-Americans hold an idealized, fantasy version of how wonderful Palestine was to their ancestors when the Arabs ruled. Were that so, their ancestors would not have fled to Latin America – and fled they did.

The Muslims treated Christians like dhimmis, and often went on genocidal campaigns against Christians.

But this is what fuels much of the public opinion in Latin America, an idealized, fantasy memory of Palestine.

For example, this video supports BDS against Israel. It opens with the line: SUPPORT FOR BDS IS GROWING IN THE WORLD.

I am not asking you to agree with these anti-Israel views. I do not.

But you should be aware of them. It is a whole other world out there in Latin America.

From Chile: Palestinians In Chile Are Upset Over Proposed Annexation


Posted on YouTube: July 10, 2020

As noted elsewhere on this site, the Federación Palestina de Chile (Palestinian Federation of Chile) is very powerful — analagous to AIPAC in the United States. This is one of their newer videos, happily, it is translated into English, as my Spanish is abysmal.

Chile’s Palestinians are mostly Christian (Eastern Christian or Roman Catholic), but they are decidedly anti-Israel.

This should not be ignored. They are a wealthy elite in Chile, one of Latin America’s premier countries, which happens to be borderline first world. They have the clout to swing a lot of public opinion, if left unchecked.

A Series You Would Not See In America

A Series You Would Not See In America


Posted on YouTube: Jun 25, 2020

On June 27th, 2020, on Arab TV – a cable and internet channel in Chile – premiered what will be a six part series on Palestine, called Palestinian Land or The Land of Palestine.

The show lists Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nablus and Nazareth as part of Palestine, when 2 of those cities are presently in Israel. And, as you see, these Chilean Palestinian-Christians claim all of Israel as part of Palestine.

One might ask why? Especially since American Christians are pro-Israel.

The Palestinian-Chileans come from either Catholic or Antiochan-Orthodox Christian backgrounds; and they have older replacement theologies which do not accept a Jewish state as readily as an American Evangelical would.

This difference in theology also explains why Europe can be anti-Israel. Europe is mainly Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran or Episcopalian. These are all litugical expressions of Christianity (they all have masses), and still endorse replacement theology.

American Christians are often dissident Evangelical Christians, and they endorse a Jewish state. A difference in theology has led to major political differences.

One could not get away with such a series in the USA without a public outcry being raised, however – as noted many times – due to a very small Jewish demographic in Latin America, and a large Arab demographic, there is no strong Jewish lobby to counter this anti-Zionist propaganda.

The only exception is Argentina which has a considerable Jewish population, but even in Argentina, the Arab population is much bigger.

In Chile, the power ethnic group are Palestinian Christians. They are rich, prosperous, and over-represented in politics and in the economy.

There is considerable pro-Israel sentiment in Brazil, but that comes from Evangelical Christians, not Jews.

The only two countries which have strong Evangelical power blocks are the USA and maybe Australia. Quite possibly also Brazil, but Brazil also has a massive, wealthy Arab-Brazilian block.

I doubt that one could get away with such programming in America.

What should also be obvious is that America’s – and to a lesser extent Australia’s and Brazil’s – support of Israel comes from a large Evangelical community, who support Israel. The Jewish community in America is not large enough to impose its will.

New Video from Chile Regarding Gaza


Published on YouTube: April 14, 2020

As this website has explained many times, the Palestinian Community of Chile [Chilestinians1] has been an incredibly powerful block in Chile, working for anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian legislation.

Though 99% Christian, the Chilestinian1 community supports agendas that seem parallel with the Islamic movement of Hamas.

This astounds many observers: Why would a Christian community support the political agenda of Islamicists? But apparently, the Chilestinians are more anti-Israel than pro-Christian.

The source of the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhLDLCDni1I

1The Palestinian-Chilean community has adopted the term “Chilestinian” – or “Chilestino” in Spanish – to indicate their indicate their identification with both Chile and Palestine as a fusion.

The Chilestinian community punches well above its weight in Chilean politics, and has a massive influence on Chile. They have hamstrung much of Chile’s policies – not all – regarding Israel and Palestine.
