Situation in Chile getting colder for its small Jewish community
Abbas sounds like me!
"Yet in Chile, which is home to one of the largest Palestinian communities in the world, the situation for the country’s tiny Jewish community is growing more precarious." "The presence of Abbas, who was widely condemned for anti-Semitic comments blaming Jewish persecution in Europe as being due to their social behavior and not their religion, comes amid growing concern over anti-Semitism in Chile. Dina Siegel Vann, director of AJC Belfer Institute for Latino and Latin American Affairs, said his visit was “not helpful” to the situation in the country, which is experiencing an uptick in anti-Semitism. “Chile is considered a model of democracy and human rights in Latin America these days,” she said. “To be visited by Abbas, who went to Cuba and Venezuela before [this], the optics are not good.” "“Under the banner of solidarity with the Palestinian people, the right of Chilean Jews to express support for Israel is being increasingly questioned and even denied,” the letter says. “Even though Jewish life in the country continues to thrive, people now find it hazardous to articulate pro-Israel positions in the public square,” it adds." "For example, Agosin noted that “the Palestinian Federation of Chile has repeatedly published cartoons on its website that rely on caricature and ancient anti-Semitic tropes reminiscent of the 1930s Nazi tabloid Der Stürmer.” At the time of the anti-Semitic cartoon in 2016, the Simon Wiesenthal Center wrote a letter to then Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, urging her to “take appropriate action to restore Chile’s values of coexistence and integration.”" https://www.jns.org/situation-in-chi...ish-community/
