Palestine Federation of Chile Supports Hunger Strikers

And three major Politicians have come out to support the hunger strikers.

What I think he is saying:

From Chile – Deputy of the National Congress, I send my support to all the people, to all the women, to all the child, to all our fellow deputies [Israel has imprisoned Palestinian legislators] that today are imprisoned unjustly and for this, I put salt in my water and drink it in support

From what I can gather, he is a Deputy in the Chilean National Congress. He seems to be non-Palestinian, but his wife, Maria Yarur Arrasate is of Arabic descent. (Click Here). Deputy de Mussey was connected to a Chilean tax case – and called to testify. He asserts his innocence, and it looks like he might be.

To those unaware: At this time, Palestinian prisoners in Israel are hunger striking. Supporters are being asking to publicly drink salt water in support of them, as hunger strikers only take salt water to survive.

I am not saying I am in support of this, but the Palestinians in Chile are very anti-Israel; and they have brought in powerful politicians to their cause.

Here are two more politicians:

Remember that even though the Palestinians in Chile tend to be radicalized against Israel regarding the Mideast, they are otherwise quite Christian, prosperous, upper middle class, and intergrated well into Chilean life. They would be a perfect immigrant group, except that they can mix support for the Intifada with their sports.


Los Baisanos – Chilean Soccer’s Intifada
I have no idea if the upside down star (between Los and Baisanos) has any hidden meaning
It can mean evil – but I am not sure if that was their intent

Their fans call themselves Baisanos, which is a mispronunciation of Paisanos (Spanish: countrymen), because their Arab ancestors could not pronounce the letter P.

There was a massive immigration of Arabs to South America in the late 19th, and early to mid-20th century. Quite often, the impetus was persecution at the hands of the Muslims. There was a near genocide of Lebanese Christians at the hands of Muslims around 1860. The vast majority of Arab immigrants to South America were Christians. The few Muslims among the immigrants often converted to Christianity or married into it.

What distinguishes Chile (and Hondouras) is that Chile took in a large amount of Palestinians. Other nations took in Syrian or Lebanese Christians. Today, many of these Chilean “Palestinos” are part-Spanish, part-Italian, part-Basque, or part-German in blood. They are upper middle-class in Chile, and hold great economic and political power well above their percentage of the population.

The Chilean soccer team, Palestino, has a popular following in the contested areas.

What this means is that Arabs blend in well in South America, at least the Christian ones.
