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.

However, recently the government of Christina Kirchner has foolishly entered into some arrangement with the government of Iran to pursue a mutual investigation. This has infuriated the Israelis, understandably.
It really in incomprehensible why Argentina would work with the instigator of the attacks to investigate them; but sadly South America is still corrupt, even if more democratic.

Argentina and Brazil private sectors team up to promote exports to Arab countries
With the intention of boosting exports to Arab nations, the Argentine and Brazilian chambers of commerce have established an Arab-South American Commerce Federation it was reported in Buenos Aires.
The aim is to increase both countries’ exports to the region after reaching a combined total revenue of 30 billion dollars last year, with six billion corresponding to Argentina.
This is really heating up. These regions are connected by blood as well as interests.
This definitely is Argentina, but it is called tango árabe.
