One has to remember that Latin America, with its large Arab population, takes more notice of this than we in the US would.
Here, TeleSur is describing Bethlehem’s Christmas in 2012.
The story is roughly the same; but from a Latin spin.
But notice, how Palestine is blazed on the report title. Most American and European reports would avoid the mention of Israel or Palestine to avoid controversy.
TeleSur comes out of Venezuela, which is Hugo Chavez territory. Chavez is very pro-Palestinian.
Telesur (Television South) is headquarted in Chavez’s Venezuela.
They use maps which are intrinsically anti-Israel.
As expected, TeleSur is hostile to Israel. At (0:58) they use a map which is used only by those groups who are hostile to the existence of Israel.
Such a graphic would never be seen on American TV,as it is inherently anti-Israel, and accuses the Jews of stealing the whole country from the Palestinians.
THIS IS THE MAP THAT TELESUR USED
The maps is only used by those groups hostile to the existence of Israel.
They did not even bother to translate the legends from English to Spanish.
Such a map would never be seen on American TV, because it is inherently biased against Israel. That the announcer on TeleSur uses it as an authoritative map indicates a hostile bias.
The map has been floating around for years on the Internet, and seems to have first appeared on Neo-Nazi websites. At least, that is where I spotted the map first; but I could be wrong about its origin.
What is most interesting is that they are using an English language map. They did not even bother to translate it into Spanish. [Though blurry, if you expand it to full screen, you can see the writing is in English.]
In other words, TeleSur’s research is almost nil, they just lifted the image from somewhere else. TeleSur is passing on pre-packaged anti-Zionist media from somewhere else. They do not even have the decency to to translate it. Just broadcast the first anti-Israel map they could find.
What this indicates is an intrinsic bias which, rather than examining the facts, merely passes along any piece of propaganda which fits their pre-conceived notion.
I knew Chavez was biased, but this indicates an intellectual dishonesty that is breattaking in its lazinees.
I know Israel puts out Hasbara propaganda, but it is not usually that sloppy.
Yesterday, we examined, albeit incompletely, the radicalizaion of Palestinian-Chileans. We found that two reasons were
1) ethic pride,
2) a myopic historical which forgets that their ancestors were persecuted by Muslims.
The next reason we will examine is the creeping trend of Iranian and Saudi Islamic influence which is shooting throughout all of Latin America.

Note: TeleSUR is a media project centered in Hugo Chavez’s
Venezuela which owns a 51% share.Translated by someone
better at Spanish than me
TeleSUR (TV South) is a media conglomerate financed by several left wing Latin American countries, with Venezuela financing a majority 51% share. Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez is a noted anti-Zionist and supporter of Iran. Naturally, this attitude saturates the Network.
In Buenos Aires, the Saudi funded King Fahd Mosque is now broadcasting Islamic propaganda on a program on Argentine Public TV.
El cálamo y su mensaje/The Quill and its Message1 Saudi Financed!
There has been a strong penetration of Oil Money in South America. Inspite of the still lingering Argentine anger of the Iranian bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires in 1994, Argentina, along with almost every other country in South America, recognized the Palestinian State.
LEARN TO WRITE & SPEAK ARABIC
If Chilean Arabs are Christian,
why the picture of a Mosque?
This cannot be chalked up to mere Arab nationalism. About half of the Arabs in South America are descended from Lebanese Maronite Christians whose ancestors fled Muslim slaughters in both the 19th and 20th centuries. Maronites tend to have a more Western viewpoint; and tend to moderate against strong anti-Israel sentiment. Christians of Syrian Orthodox descent would also harbor no illusions about the creeping militancy of Islamic advocacy.2 These may have no love for Israel, but they are not going to be given to anti-Israel extremism either.
Only Chile, and Honduras, have noticeably powerful Palestian communities which stand out from other Arabs.
Most of Latin America’s Arabs are Christians who were dhimmis before they emigrated.
What is going on is not merely ethnic pride, nor a myopic historical memory at work, nor even the echo of a Catholic culture’s latent anti-semitism, but a large infusion of cash and a massive effort by Islamic regimes to purchase Latin American influence.
Arab language classes are often held in mosques rather than in non-sectarian settings. Clearly the agenda is more than linguistics. Now, this would not be bad in an of itself, coming under the general heading of Freedom of Religion; but along with it comes a fierce anti-Israel world view.
Adding to the mix is a new Iranian Spanish language network called HispanTV which was meant to counter the Western Media. The program is similar to the English language PressTV3, which is a media shill for Iran.
Complaining about Israeli settlers in Silwan – Iran’s HispanTV
This is clearing Iran pushing an agenda. In America, PressTV is largely unknown. In South America, HispanTV may take off.
Already known is Iran’s use of South American drug running to generate money for Hezbollah.4
Both Arab and Iranian money are filtering into South America to push an Agenda.
In the next part of this discussion we will discuss Israeli mistakes: past, and present; and we’ll what Israel can do to correct this issue.
1More worrying was that a popular Arab-Argentine Show, Desde El Aljibe/From the Well, which was secular and primarly run by Christian Arabs, was cancelled to make way for an Islamic show that almost no one wanted. 90% of Argentine Arabs are Christian. Suspicions run that money and Saudi influence were involved. Likely so, it indicates that Arab Oil Money is wreaking havoc in South America.
2Many Christian Syrians, both internally and externally, support the secular Bashir Assad against the Islamic insurgency.
3PressTV is a viciously anti-Israel network with a large satellite presence – though the UK has recently revoked its broadcast license – and an even larger internet presence . It regularly hosts holocaust deniers, “Jewish conspiracy” theorists, and a host of crackpots who are fobbed off as experts.
It is notable for only having female announcers that wear hijabs; most famously Lauren Booth, a half-sister of Tony Blair’s wife, and convert to Islam.
But its most famous star is the Stentorian British Parliamentarian George Galloway who has two programs on the network; and not just on Press TV: Galloway is on WBAI radio in New York, and has a show in Lebanon. He brags of his mixed Irish and Scottish background and his love for Palestine. Abstemious from alcohol – always a suspicious trait in a Celt – Galloway appeals to Britain’s radical left and Muslim vote. He is very hostile to Israel. After divorcing his first wife, a Christian; Galloway has gone through a succession of Muslim wives. Though Galloway refuses to admit it, the general opinion is that he converted to Islam; though no one is sure whether Sunni or Shi’a.
He would be relegated to the realm of lunatics, except that Galloway is arguably the best orator in the English language since Kennedy or Churchill. He commands a booming voice, and a rhetorical style that is positively breathtaking. He has bested newspaper critics, the Canadian government which sought to ban him, the British Labour party, and even the US Congress, whom he personally castigated before a Senate Committee. He has hosted a popular radio show in Britain and is now back in their Parliament, after winning an election by appealing to the Muslim vote, which is a scary thought in itself.
He is Press TV’s star, and his politics are scary.
4See Hezbollah builds a Western base (in Spanish)(Click Here). While some of the claims are exaggerated, there have been Hezbollah agents captured in the area. (Click Here). The Triple Frontier, where Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil meet, has been a poorly policed smugglers paradise for decades, even before the rise of Islam. It should not surpise anyone that Hezbollah acts in the area. It is believed the crew which did the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires set out from the Triple Frontier.

The Palestinian Community in Chile is powerful. About 500,000 Chileans are Palestinian in whole or part – roughly 2.5% of Chile’s overall population.
Another 300,000 Chileans are Lebanese or Syrian, etc., in origin. However, because the Palestinian-Chilean are the majority within the Arab community, they have above average clout.
Their demographic numbers and wealth can influence the debate among Chile’s other Arabs, and among Chileans in general. Palestinian-Chileans affect Chile’s policy at a national level.
The closest equivalent, oddly enough, is the political power of American Jewry.
117 Refugees came to Chile and it was major national news
Their community has gained an international reputation, and is being noticed.
The above report was by Telesur, a biased Venezualan outlet.
