This should amaze you. As the clout of the Palestinian Community in Chile is growing, so also is the clout of the growing Evangelical community, which is very pro-Israel.
While Islam may be converting a few thousand, Evangelicalism is converting millions per year.
This is an Evangelical TV preacher in Chile who wonders if Chavez’s anti-Israel tirade is what caused God to issue a divine judgment against Chavez, causing his death from cancer.
Forgive my poor translation, but I caught the general drift.
Below is the video of Chavez speech that the preacher was referring to. It is from 2010.

Chavez’s comments were very ugly!
April 14, 2020 – Edited: I had to find a new source for the Chavez video, and had to correct some errors.
I suspect this wedding is Muslim. The poster has another video about women wearing hijabs.
Almost all Arabs in Venezuela are Christian, so if these are Muslim, they are probably newer arrivals, which might explain why the music is in Arabic, instead of Spanish.
That being said: This looks like a reasonably assimilated group, here. I do not see women in burqas. Do you?
One has to remember that Latin America, with its large Arab population, takes more notice of this than we in the US would.
Here, TeleSur is describing Bethlehem’s Christmas in 2012.
The story is roughly the same; but from a Latin spin.
But notice, how Palestine is blazed on the report title. Most American and European reports would avoid the mention of Israel or Palestine to avoid controversy.
TeleSur comes out of Venezuela, which is Hugo Chavez territory. Chavez is very pro-Palestinian.
Telesur (Television South) is headquarted in Chavez’s Venezuela.
They use maps which are intrinsically anti-Israel.
As expected, TeleSur is hostile to Israel. At (0:58) they use a map which is used only by those groups who are hostile to the existence of Israel.
Such a graphic would never be seen on American TV,as it is inherently anti-Israel, and accuses the Jews of stealing the whole country from the Palestinians.
THIS IS THE MAP THAT TELESUR USED
The maps is only used by those groups hostile to the existence of Israel.
They did not even bother to translate the legends from English to Spanish.
Such a map would never be seen on American TV, because it is inherently biased against Israel. That the announcer on TeleSur uses it as an authoritative map indicates a hostile bias.
The map has been floating around for years on the Internet, and seems to have first appeared on Neo-Nazi websites. At least, that is where I spotted the map first; but I could be wrong about its origin.
What is most interesting is that they are using an English language map. They did not even bother to translate it into Spanish. [Though blurry, if you expand it to full screen, you can see the writing is in English.]
In other words, TeleSur’s research is almost nil, they just lifted the image from somewhere else. TeleSur is passing on pre-packaged anti-Zionist media from somewhere else. They do not even have the decency to to translate it. Just broadcast the first anti-Israel map they could find.
What this indicates is an intrinsic bias which, rather than examining the facts, merely passes along any piece of propaganda which fits their pre-conceived notion.
I knew Chavez was biased, but this indicates an intellectual dishonesty that is breattaking in its lazinees.
I know Israel puts out Hasbara propaganda, but it is not usually that sloppy.
