Brazil is going through tough economic times, but it is still the ninth largest economy in the world. Since last year (2016), it has been led by President Michel Temer, the son of Christian Lebanese immigrants.

Again, this is typical of Latin America, where Arab are strongly over-represented in the halls of power.

Temer reflects Brazil’s divisive politics. The right wing loves him. The left hates him, and his austerity policies.

President Michel Temer has hailed the drop in inflation as evidence that his austerity agenda was putting Latin America’s largest economy on a solid footing for recovery.

Down with Genocide of the State of Israel in Gaza

Pro-Palestinian activists who attended a music festival in Argentina have staged a massive rally in support of the Palestinian people in Buenos Aires.

The activists hoisted a large flag of Palestine in the festival’s venue and held up pro-Palestinian placards during the festival.

In the meantime, Palestinian Ambassador in the country, Qalid Mowaqqat told the activists that the Palestinian issue was an issue of any free people in the world.

Latin America has been radicalized against Israel.

Argentina is about 9% Arabic, but about half of those are Maronite Christians, and most of the rest are Syrian Christians. These would not be strong supporters of Palestine.

As noted here on this site, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, have pumped a lot of money into Latin America for propaganda – not so much for conversion to Islam, which occurs, but is minor – but to turn the continent against Israel.

Pro-Israel March in Argentina

The YouTube poster was Marc100Arg, who is a a very pro-Israel YouTube poster.

marceloMarcelo100Arg has claimed, in the past, to be an Argentine Catholic of Italian extraction, but who knows? Now he claims to be Moroccan-Argentine, yet he left the former pro-Vatican statement after he suddenly claimed a Moroccan ancestry.

His videos are often very pro-Israel, and one wonders if he is a Hasbara (Israel Propaganda) activist. That being said, he does post videos which show that some Christians in Latin America do support Israel, even if they are drowned out by a much louder Arab community.

Marcelo condemns the Kirchner government in Argentina for corruption and for supporting Hamas.

Argentina has the largest Jewish community in the Spanish speaking world and the 6th largest after Israel.

So, it would be rather easy to bring out support for Israel in Buenos Aires. About 350,000 Argentines have some Jewish heritage, even if they are no longer Jewish by religion.

Argentina is unique in this. Jews have had a lot of influence in Argentina, unlike other Latin American countries.

I cannot vouch how recent this video is, but it was posted on August 11, 2014.
