UGEP-Chile Campaigned for Academic Boycott

ESTAMOS DE VUELTA means WE ARE BACK.

Chile’s UGEP (General Union of Palestinian Students) was campaigning to cut of academic ties between Israel and the University of Chile.

The tweet was dated to July 20. I am not sure what has happened since.

I am not sure if Israel does much to contain this. Maybe they see Chile as a lost cause. Argentina is iffy, as it has a strong Jewish community, and the tone of debate tends to be controlled by Lebanese Maronites, who tend to be Westernized.

Brazil is pro-Israel right now, due to the fact that it has an extraordinarily large Evangelical constituency, and its Arab community – which is very large – is dominated by Maronites.
