Argentina

Argentina is a very large country on the southeast of South America, running from the polar south to the tropical north. The population is very European in ancestry, with roughly half being pure-European in background, and another large section being mostly European in background.

It has a large Arab population (9±%), but which is intermarried and assimilated into the country’s larger demographic This is because it is heavily Maronite (Catholic) Lebanese who assimilate well.

Interestingly, Argentina has around 180,000 Jews – the seventh largest Jewish population in the world – and they can be politically active.

From Argentina: Against The Upcoming Annexation Of Palestine


Posted on YouTube: July 11, 2020

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.

Argentina joined the growing list of nations which have blacklisted Hezbollah.

Argentina can do this relatively easily. Most of Argentina’s Arab population is Christian with little or no sympathy for Hezbollah. While Argentina’s Arabs are roughly 10% Muslim, most of them are non-practicing.

Hezbollah has been caught running money laundering and drug smuggling operation in Latin America, and frankly most of Latin America’s countries consider them destablizing.
