U.S. Congresswoman in Chilean Magazine

It turns out that Rashida Tlaib has gotten a write up in a Chilean magazine Al-Damir – which means “the conscience” in Arabic – that caters to the Palestinian community in Chile.

Palestinian-born Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib who –last July – held a message calling Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu «guilty of genocide », as the leader spoke before Congress of United States, this week has achieved a victory by defeating his Republican opponent in the Michigan Congress 12th district elections, thereby ensuring a fourth term as the only Palestinian-American woman in the United States Congress.

The problem is that Rashida Tlaib was born in Detroit, not “Palestine.”

Another problems is that Al Damir is connected to a questionable charity in Chile called the Palestine-Bethlehem Foundation 2000, which publishes the magazine.

However, a lot of American and European companies have bought advertising in the magazine, in the past, so that questionable connection might be a minor issue. Though it was once published in a glossy version, the magazine seems to now emphasize its online presence.

It listed its distribution here.

HOWEVER, the online version of the glossy magazine stopped being archived in 2020 (Click Here), so maybe it is no longer published in print. Who knows?!

IT STILL HAS A WEBSITE EDITION

See article to find more background information.

What is clear is that the Palestinian-Chilean community has/had enough wealth and clout to publish a magazine and attract major advertisers to it.

With all that being said, I am sure that Congresswoman Tlaib had nothing to do with this article. However, she seems to have captured an audience with the Palestinian disapora.

This is a video (below) of the sign display that the magazine article refers to.

Even though I am a mild Christian Zionist, I will make no comment about Representative Tlaib except to note that apparently she is a hero to Palestinians everywhere – even in Chile.

Chilean President Calls For Gaza Action

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)

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.

Jews in Latin America Feel Unsafe

Jews in Latin America Feel Unsafe

As noted, Latin America has an enormous population of Arab descent. Many of these Arab-Latins are NOT taking the news from Gaza that well, particularly in Chile where there is a large properous elite of Christian-Palestinian descent, the Chilestinos.

The backlash is exacerbating antisemitism in Latin America. It is gathering attention.

Latin America has long nurtured an antisemitic underbelly that has drawn scant international media attention, even after the October 7 attacks. Latin America is home to approximately 500,000 Jews, including nearly 200,000 in Argentina alone. In Brazil, antisemitic attacks have risen by nearly 1,000% since October 7.

In Peru, right-wing extremists targeted a prominent Peruvian Jewish journalist by screaming antisemitic chants outside his home, including showing posters of rats holding bags of money.

In Nicaragua, Jewish cemeteries have been vandalized and desecrated. Vicente Fox, Mexico’s former president, accused presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum – who has Jewish parents – of being “a Jew and foreigner at the same time.”

In the past, such antisemitism has moved from words to murder.

Shortly after Israel began its defense, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, and Chile recalled their ambassadors from the region. Bolivia cut off diplomatic relations with Israel, accusing the nation of crimes against humanity.

Of course, this has to stop. Individual Jews should NOT feel threatened.
