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.

Marcelo100Arg is a YouTube poster who claimed to be Argentine of Italian extraction.

But now look at these two channels: Marcelo100Arg and AlbanianPower11. Notice, how many video are identical or similar. The videos have been edited to show slightly different screenshots or times, but when played, many of the videos start at the same point.

I respected Marcelo100Arg when I thought he was an Italian-Argentine who loved Israel. Now, I don’t know if he even exists.

I have to wonder if he is someone working for Israeli Hasbara (Propaganda) activists.

Whoever did these YouTube Channels was clumsy to make them so similar.

marcelo Marcelo100Arg has claimed, in the past, to be an Argentine Catholic of Italian extraction, but who knows? Now he claims to be Moroccan-Argentine, yet he left the former pro-Vatican statement after he suddenly claimed a Moroccan ancestry.

Still videos are videos; even if Marcelo100Arg is not honest about his Hasbara affiliations, the videos are valuable.

The YouTube poster was Marc100Arg, who is a a very pro-Israel YouTube poster.

His videos are often very pro-Israel, and one wonders if he is a Hasbara (Israel Propaganda) activist. That being said, he does post videos which show that some Christians in Latin America do support Israel, even if they are drowned out by a much louder Arab community.

Marcelo condemns the Kirchner government in Argentina for corruption and for supporting Hamas.

Argentina has the largest Jewish community in the Spanish speaking world and the 6th largest after Israel.

So, it would be rather easy to bring out support for Israel in Buenos Aires. About 350,000 Argentines have some Jewish heritage, even if they are no longer Jewish by religion.

Argentina is unique in this. Jews have had a lot of influence in Argentina, unlike other Latin American countries.

I cannot vouch how recent this video is, but it was posted on August 11, 2014.
