On Monday morning, students, parents and school workers located in Las Condes, [discovered] an attack. The Jewish community in the country [Chile] condemned the attack.
Who knows who did this? While the Chilean government is hamstrung by a vocal, and powerful, Palestinian community, there is in Latin Culture a residue of prejudice against Arabs. Chile also has a large Evangelical community. It could have been anyone who did this. Tempers are flared because of the Gaza War. Interestingly, the Jewish Community in Chile immediately condemned the attack. Note: In the video, there is a Free Palestine drawing at (2:50). The Palestinians are a rich community in Chile. You would not see rich Americans supporting Palestine. South America has a different class hierarchy. The Chilean government recalled its ambassador of the Gaza operation.
