Arab-Chilean gave lecture in Tennessee

Al-Imad lectures history of Middle East conflict

By Jessica Mynatt

On Oct. 24, Professor Leila Al-Imad gave a summary of the long history of political conflicts in that area.

Her father was Lebanese and her mother was from Chile. She offered a unique perspective on the subject.

Professor Al-Imad explained how outside influences were causing changes in the Middle East.

“In the middle of the nineteenth century, nationalism hit the Middle East,” she said.

The idea of nationalism was coming from the west, and the idea of fundamentalism was coming from the east.

It became a cultural idea that problems were caused by people not living up to their religion, and this view encouraged the fundamentalist movement.

It is in Spanish.  Actually , the Mayor of Beit Jala noted there were 400,000 Palestinians in Chile.  That number is low. If one counts mixed marriages the numbers are higher.

The PA Calls the Israelis Terrorist – FROM CHILE?!

There is something to this story that most people will not notice.

Palestinian Foreign Ministry: Israeli ministers are the terrorists, not the prisoners

In a letter distributed by Palestinian ambassadors around the world, a copy of which was obtained by Haaretz, prisoners are described as ‘freedom fighters’; in late-night meeting, Israel may be seeking to minimize media scrutiny of decision to release prisoners.

One of the letters relayed by Palestinian ambassadors around the world was obtained by Haaretz. The letter, which was distributed by the Palestinian Embassy in Santiago, Chile, a day after the cabinet’s decision on the prisoner release, claimed that Israel is the one terrorizing the Palestinians, and not vice-versa. “A terrorist is someone who forcefully occupies the other’s land, expels him and comes to live in his place,” the letter read, “…not the Palestinian political prisoner, the freedom fighter.”

Notice, where they got the letter from …. CHILE?!

PA declaration from Chile


Chile’s Palestinians are very radicalized!
From November 2012, during the Israeli attack on Gaza.

Chile has most of the world’s Palestinian Christians; and has the most Palestinians outside the Mideast.

So it is no accident that pro-Palestinian activism is so prominent in Chile.

Yes, the letter was sent all over the world, but it figured prominently in Chile.

Israel is going to have to keep a sharp eye on Chile’s internal politics which are greatly influenced by its Palestinians.
