Chile is the country on the Southwest Pacific coast of South America, which runs from a polar south to tropical north. 5% of Chile’s population is Arab, and the majority of that is Palestinian-Christian: Chilestino/Chilestinian.
Chile is a first world country now, very democratic. The Chilestinos are prosperous and wield incredible political power.
There are many Palestinian-Christian-Chileans, usually of Orthodox Christian or Roman Catholic belief.
This tour seems to be run by Evangelicals, however.
They were probably less politicized, then; and the trip was more of a religious/historical nature.
It seems in Chile, where Palestinian are rich, they are the oppressors of the indigenous people.

Carta a embajada Palestina por rol de chilenos-palestinos que atentan los derechos indígenas
June 10, 2013Letter to Palestinian Embassy about the role of Palestinian-Chileans that violate Indigenous Rights.
… we are writing to denounce actions that violate indigenous rights seriously and have been committed by persons of Palestinian origin in Chile.
…
Why do you do the same to us that you criticize in Israel?
It seems a Palestinian activist ignored indigeous rights because his relatives had shares in some companies.
I guess humans are the same everywhere.
I know this a bit of a break from the Arab-Latin theme, but this is an Israeli folk song, sung by a very famous Chilean folk group.
Quilapayún is a very famous Chilean folk ensemble. The name means three bearded men in the Mapuche language of the native Indians South Chile.
I found out about the video on: https://twitter.com/hod_chile
Hod’s Twitter page says:
¿Qué es Hod Chile? Hod significa “otro” en hebreo, es un grupo activista e independiente de formación judía-progresista, pluralista, diversa y sionista.
What is Hod Chile? Hod means “other” in hebrew. It is a independently formed activist group, progressive-Jewish, pluralist, diverse and zionist.
It seems be a Zionist Gay activist page.
