This is from Argentina, by a cultural group opposed to the upcoming annexation of Palestinian territories.
Unlike Chile, Argentina has a formidable Jewish community. Also Argentina’s Arab community is heavily tilted towards Maronite Christians who, because of their history, are often not anti-Israel.
Maronite Christians were severely persecuted by Muslims in the Middle East – almost genocided in the 19th century. In the 20th century, Palestinians tried to overthrow the Lebanese state. So the Arabs in Argentina will be far less enthusiastic about the Palestinian cause.
So, while some in Argentina may be anti-Israel, the power of the Palestinian cause is far weaker than in Chile where Palestinian-Chileans are the dominant Arab ethnic group.
