No politician in the United States could get away with the anti-Israel rhetoric which is common in Chile. This video from the World Jewish Congress shows you how strongly anti-Israel the politics are in Chile.
This is what happens when one of Chile’s wealthiest elite groups is Palestinian Chilean. In Chile, the Jews are outnumbers 30 to 1 by Palestinian Christians.
And three major Politicians have come out to support the hunger strikers.
What I think he is saying:
From Chile – Deputy of the National Congress, I send my support to all the people, to all the women, to all the child, to all our fellow deputies [Israel has imprisoned Palestinian legislators] that today are imprisoned unjustly and for this, I put salt in my water and drink it in support
From what I can gather, he is a Deputy in the Chilean National Congress. He seems to be non-Palestinian, but his wife, Maria Yarur Arrasate is of Arabic descent. (Click Here). Deputy de Mussey was connected to a Chilean tax case – and called to testify. He asserts his innocence, and it looks like he might be.
To those unaware: At this time, Palestinian prisoners in Israel are hunger striking. Supporters are being asking to publicly drink salt water in support of them, as hunger strikers only take salt water to survive.
I am not saying I am in support of this, but the Palestinians in Chile are very anti-Israel; and they have brought in powerful politicians to their cause.
I leave the link up for a record, but though the site was taken over, there is still a lot of anti-Israel propaganda in South America.

A recent Spanish/Arabic Daily Palestina Liberation was launched on July 20th.
Their twitter account listed their origin in Palestine; but the paper record above listed a European connection; their phone number seems to be registered in Malaysia.

Five countries — Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru — have recalled their ambassadors from Israel, a harsh step rarely taken in the diplomatic world. When was the last time they pulled their envoys from any other nation, including serial abusers of human rights such as Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria?
An article from Algemeiner – a pro-Israel/Jewish site.

The author asked: Why is Latin America Coddling Hamas?
The answer is simple: Over 20 Million Arab-Latinos in Latin America. Israel has ignorned them. The Arab countries have not. Though most (90% plus) Arab-Latinos are Christian, they have been propagandized against Israel by Saudi and Iranian propaganda.
Chile has 500,000 Palestinian-Chileans (Almost all Christian) who are elites in their country. 3x the number of Christian Palestinians in the Mideast. They are a power bloc in Chile.
