The comments (underneath the Video, on the YouTube page) show that a lot of people who are not Arab, nor Palestinian, nor from Chile, root for the team.
The team has taken on a political life of its own.
This particular video has been politicized, as it references the present Gaza War in one of its images.
"Se cometen crímenes de guerra y no está Hamas.. Hoy palestinos no pueden llegar a sus trabajos por los bloqueos israelíes…..No se puede señalar que cualquier ataque de civiles se puede justificar de cualquier forma" denunció desde Cisjordania el politólogo chileno palestino… pic.twitter.com/7InedKeGAq
“War crimes are committed and Hamas is not there… Today Palestinians cannot get to work because of the Israeli blockades… It cannot be pointed out that any attack by civilians can be justified in any way” denounced the political scientist from the West Bank. Chilean Palestinian Xavier Abu Aid (tv12 telemundo)
It is Xavier Abu Eid (or Aid).
He has been around since forever, but I have not read about him for years. He is a Chilean spokesman for the PLO.
2) He is a political scientist, and advisor to the PLO, as well as one of their chief spokesmen.
3) He went to Universidad Diego Portales (Diego Portales University) in Chile.
4) He has media clout in Latin America, though he is unknown in the USA.
5) Being Chilean, he is almost certainly Christian.
6) He writes for Al-Damir, a Palestinian-Chilean Magazine, run by the Fundación Belen (Bethlehem Foundation) – English language link, which also exhalts Arab-Chileans in Chilean Life. It claims to have a Christian emphasis, but some have suspected it of working with Hamas.
The name Xavier Abu Eid is almost certainly a pen name, as Xavier is a Catholic name while Abu Eid is probably Islamic.
Argentina still has a lot of Jews; the sixth largest community of Jews outside of Israel. Unlike Chile, where Palestinians are influential, the Jews of Argentina still pack a wallop.
Hundreds of people took part in a march in Buenos Aires on Monday in support of Israel following the deadly terror attacks carried out by the Islamist group Hamas in the Middle East.
Headed by the country’s leading Jewish organisations, the march in Almagro was a chance for porteños [Buenos Aires citizens] to show solidarity with Israel.
…
The pro-Israel rally took place on a symbolic corner of the capital’s Almagro neighbourhood, where the Estado de Israel and Estado de Palestina streets intersect. The national anthems of both Israel and Argentina were played during the event, while demonstrators waved Israeli flags.
…
“The only solution is for the Gaza Strip, which originally belonged to the Jewish people, to be vacated,” Rafael Yablonosky, a 60-year-old doctor, said as he rallied.
Mr. Yablonosky’s comment is interesting, as he does not say where the Gazans should go.
But, historically, Argentina has been somewhat friendly to Jews.
What about Juan Peron and the Nazis?
Juan Peron was NOT a Nazi. He considered Italian Fascist economics as interesting, but that was economics. He did not purchase into Germany’s racial theories. One of Peron’s advisors was Jewish.
Argentina had a problem with leftists, and at that time in history, many Jews were leftist. Conservative Jews were usually left alone. There were issues during the period of the junta (1976-83), but the junta went after every suspected leftist, Jew or Gentile.
Jews have had a major role in Argetina’s history. They contributed a lot to the evolution of tango music.
The Jewish population in Argentina is large, because, for the most part, Argentina was welcoming to Jews.

In fact, Theodore Herzl and Baron Maurice de Hirsch even considered purchasing a province in Argentina to create the Jewish state. The rabbis shot that idea down.
For them, it was the Holy Land or Nothing.
