A lot of info to digest.

The most important thing overlooked is that 31% of Brazil is now Evangelical, and they tend to strongly support Israel. Brazil’s Lulu can only go so far in his criticism of Israel.

Another issue is Latin culture, itself.

Latin/Spanish and Portuguese cultures center on the national liberation struggles against the Islamic/Moorish invaders of Spain and Portugal in the Middle Ages … the so-called Reconquista. Latin culture, at its core, is not friendly to Islam.

What is driving this pro-Palestinianism is the large influence of:

A) Palestinian ethnic groups in Latin America, especially Chile, Honduras, and El Salvador.

B) Iran’s propagandizing through HispanTV.

C) Leftist regimes.

And finally, one should take this news report with a grain of salt, as it is posted by AJPlus, a subset of Al Jazeera, which is a Qatari based anti-Israel media outlet.

Remember, not only Brazil, but also Guatemala has a very large pro-Israel Evangelical constituency. Guatemala is 40 percent Evangelical.

SAO PAULO, Brazil — The Brazilian Federal Police, working in cooperation with Israeli intelligence agencies, says it has disrupted a suspected domestic terror plot against Israeli and Jewish targets believed to be in its initial stages.

Federal investigators said Tuesday that they had uncovered a scheme allegedly involving the recruitment of Brazilian citizens by the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, to orchestrate attacks against members of the 120,000-strong Brazilian Jewish community.

The intended targets reportedly included synagogues.

Brazil is a special case in Latin America. About 31% of the population is Evangelical, with a strong sense of support for Israel. Brazil also has roughly 15 million Arabs, but they tend to be of Christian descent, often Lebanese, who bear little or no animus towards Israel.

Simultaneously, Brazil has a low percentage of Jews in the population. So, Brazil would be inclined to help Israel.

More Lebanese in Brazil than Lebanon

More Lebanese in Brazil than Lebanon


Posted on YouTube: 2022

There are more Lebanese in Brazil than Lebanon.

The video (above) lists the reasons for the massive immigration to Lebanon as economic and political instability.

What the video does not explain is that the instability was caused by the ongoing Islamic attempts at genocides of the Christians — which have been periodically happening for centuries in Lebanon and Syria.

Hence the vast majority of these Arab immigrants were Christians fleeing Muslim persecution which, at times, rose to genocidal levels.

However, the video (above) does get correct how massive and influential the Lebanese are in Brazil.

The video estimates 12 million Lebanese in Brazil, which is roughly in accord with my own estimates. However, I estimated 12-15 million for all Arabs, while this video estimates 12 million for the Lebanese alone in Brazil.

Add in the Syrian-Lebanese and you can see how massive the Arabs are in Brazil … and they are prosperous.

My estimates of Arabs in Brazil might even be low.

Again, almost all the Lebanese in Brazil are Christians.

This is from an Israeli channel, but the facts are there.

The upshot of this is that Lebanese Christians in Latin America usually do not subscribe to the raw hatred of Israel which is more common among Palestinian-Christian-Chileans (or Hondurans).

The Lebanese-Christian-Brazilians remember the brutality of the Muslims. Their views on Israel vary from friendly to not thrilled, but they have no illusions about Islam.

Hence, wherever the Lebanese Arabs predominate among Arab-Latins — and they predominate in many Latin countries – they then to moderate the discussion.
