Pro-Israel Rally in Argentina

YouTube Comment by AssyrianPride1000

A group of Argentinians (150), followed by some Centrist and Central Right wing activists as well as some members of the Evangelical Churches came out to show their support for Israel against Hamas war crimes.

Clearly, there are more than 150 in that crowd.

The poster’s name is AssyrianPride1000, which is a reference to the persecuted Assyrian Christians.

However, he is posting in English, not Spanish which is odd; and he lists his country of origin as Iraq, which is odder.

Whether this is primarily Jewish community show of support or not is immaterial. There are roughly 200,000 Jews in Argentina, and they are the largest Jewish community in the Spanish speaking world. They used to be even higher in number, till Argentina’s economic crises drove them to Israel. Argentina’s Jews still have clout.

The comment says there are Evangelicals in the crowd. Of this, I have no doubt.

Evangelicals are not as strong in Argentina as they are in Brazil or Chile; but they are starting to grow, and change things. Already they are 10% of the population in Argentina.

I have seen very strong pro-Israel support come for the richer more elite Catholic sections of Argentina.

The Arabs have effected the culture of South America; but their Arabs are Christian primarily, and they have not changed the Christian aspect of the society. In fact, their Christianity has become Westernized in South America.

Some of these musicians are quite famous in South America.  Mario Kirlis has played all over the world. Check out this video of Mario Kirlis in China.

The New Look of Iquique

What has Iquique got to do with Latin Arabia?

Much. Iquique is in the (sub)Tropical1 North of Chile. It has a tax-free zone and is relatively prosperous, as you can see. It is a bit of a vacation paradise.

The province has a large amount of Arabs (as well as Croatian, and Australian immigrants).

So much so that the Palestinian Ambassador to Chile has visited Isquique on occasion.

To see this, click this link for a series of videos.

Hundreds of Arab Videos from a city of less than a quarter million.

Almost all these Arabs in Iquique are Christian. There is no reason that Christians from Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) could not assimilate well into Iquique.

1Iquique is well within the tropics, and it should be tropical if latitude was all there was to consider; however the cold Humboldt current which comes up along Chile’s coast from Antarctica has a moderating influence on the climate making the offshore waters slightly cooler than they would otherwise be. This in turn cools the coastal area, preventing Iquique from becoming a tropical jungle, which it would otherwise be. Hence Iquique is more subtropical than tropical, though well within the tropics.

The effect is noticeable throughout Chile. Two-thirds of Chile is subtropical to tropical in land climate, but the off-shore waters can be genuinely chilly until you approach the tropic of capricorn, and even then the waters are not particularly warm, except along the beachfront shallows, where shallow depth increases solar efficiency.

The Humboldt Current carries cool water from Antarctica to the equator, where you have penguins on the Galapagos Islands because, even though on the equator, the Galapagos islands rarely rise above 25 °C (77 °F).

The effect is similar to the cool ocean current coming down from Alaska to subtropical Los Angeles and San Diego.

Hence, Northern Chile, which should be tropical, is often merely subtropical.

The effect is amazing and is responsible for Chile’s wonderfully moderate climate. It is a beautiful county – again 2/3rds of it being subtropical to tropical – but the beaches are notorious for chilly water, even when lined with palm trees.

While this might be a disaster for swimmers, it moderates the climate, preventing extremes of heat along the coast.
