Chile’s President Wants to Open an Embassy in Palestine

This will cause some issues:

Soruce: Times of Israel – Dec 22, 2022

SANTIAGO, Chile — President Gabriel Boric of Chile, whose country has the largest Palestinian population outside of the Middle East, said Wednesday that he planned to open an embassy “in Palestine.”

The announcement by the leftist president, who began his four-year term in March 2022, came at a Christmas ceremony for Chile’s Palestinian community, estimated to be more than 300,000 strong.

“One of the decisions we have taken as a government, I think we have not yet made it public… is that we will raise the level of our official representation in Palestine,” Boric said. “We will open an embassy under our government.”

Chile has a large, prosperous, and powerful Palestinian community, so this wsa probably inevitable, but it will be controversial.

The documentary is subtitled in English.

This is not exaggerationg, but the Palestino [Palestinian] Soccer Club of Santiago, Chile has become world renowned. It gets involved in Mideast Politics.

NOTE: The team is regularly referred to as CD Palestino which means Club Deportivo Palestino, which means Palestinian Sports CLub.

Locally, in Chile, CD Palestino will have moments of silence before any game for any occasion when Palestinians are killed in the Mideast conflict between Israel and Palestine.

CD Palestino’s fame has spread to the Mideast, where its players are more well known that they are in Chile.

This team is well known internationally, however, there is another force in Chile … Evangelical Christians, and they are … pro-Israel. On a per capita basis they may not be as rich as Palestinian-Chileans, but there are a whole lot more Evangelicals than Palestinians.

Yes, I know, I am posting this about 9 days late. The video of the protest was posted on Friday, a week and two days ago.

But better late than never.

Chile has a wealthy, very influential Palestinian community, and they are fervently against Israel, and they make themselves felt in Chilean politics.

Chilestinians Protests the 2021 Israel-Gaza War


Posted on YouTube: May 20, 2021

Chilestinians (Palestinian-Chileans) came out to protest the Israel-Gaza War of 2021.

Points to remember:

1) Most Chilestinians are Christian, descended from Arab Christians who fled the Muslim Turks.

2) The few Muslims among the Chilestinians are recent arrivals.

3) Chile is on the other side of the world, so it is late autumn there.

4) Chilestinians are very influential in Chile.
