Chilestinians? How Half a Million Palestinians Made a Home in Chile

Chile has the largest Palestinian population outside the Arab world. With half a million people and a 150-year history of migration, persecution, and ‘assimilation’, the Chilestinian community has produced an unexpected ambassador for the Palestinian struggle: a football club.

I'm a Chilean citizen, descendant of many people from many places in the world, married to a Palestinian descendant (therefore my kids too), and will always be a friend of the Chilean-Palestinian people. That doesn't make me an anti-Semite! I cannot understand how thoughtless and silly the Israeli Government is acting by performing such a massacre, a real-time genocide, while we're watching it on television. History and the world's morals will judge them (NOT THE JEWS, but the Israeli government) for what they are, criminals of war. I really hope, for everyone's right to live in a peaceful place with caring neighbors, that this ends very soon.

Hasbun Is not right about the birth of Palestino Football Club: The club was born in 1920 (yes, this year Is the 101th aniversary) in the southern city of Osorno.

[@igguilloda4383]

There are two mistakes here: Palestino football club was founded in 1920 not 1948. And in 1982 the Pinochet dictatorship was entering its 9th year, not its 20th (the dictatorship lasted a total of 17yrs).

One of my closest friends who recently passed away (Allah yerhamo) was Palestinian and his great grandmother was Chilean. It turns out that his great grandfather went to Chile but decided to move back to Palestine with his Chilean wife. I see people wearing FC Palestino jerseys here in New York at Palestine rallies and even at the local sports field. It makes me proud to see a place where Palestinians are thriving and calling for the end of an occupation and genocide.
