They then expect their reward, Paradise with lovely Rivers and Doe-eyed virgins.. Arnt they nuts?
7. Agree with Keren #1
Daniel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.29.06)
They're doing a great kiddush Hashem (sanctification of G-d's Name) by doing such great work. That gives people a much more positive view of Jews.
8. who cares
(03.29.06)

9. "Jewish nation"?
Huh? ,   Miami   (03.29.06)
As reported previously by Yedioth Ahronoth, a study conducted by a major Jewish organization in the United States revealed that the *** Jewish nation *** has a significant number of representatives in parliaments across the globe considering it is only 13 million strong. Don't you mean Jewish people? Poor English like this leads to talk of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

11. Response #$: Chile vs. US as most Yehud
Baruch Resnick ,   Chicago USA   (03.29.06)
In proportion to the size of the Govt, both executive and legislative branches, Chile numerically is more Jewish in representation versus USA. Both in terms of total demographic population and its representation. Also, Fact: Chile has the most solvent public pension system in the WORLD. It ranks #1 in terms of financial reserves for current and future retirees!!
12. Jewish ministers in Chile
Jose Nigrin ,   Guatemala   (03.29.06)
The new elected Chilean government has appointed three, jewish ministers, and the deputy for foreign affairs, in its cabinet..Making this highly progresive South American Country the recipient of the blessings for those who bless the people of the bible..
13. To #11
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (03.29.06)
Compliment the Chilean economy all you want but please give due credit to Fundacion Chile's excellent technological development efforts, which could not come to fruition without the coordination of General Pinochet, ITT, and the Chicago Boys.

Nancy ,   Crossville   (03.31.06)
Maybe if we had more Jews in more governments world wide we would not have HALF the problems we have now.. DUH!?!?!?! I KNOW there would be a greater return to tradition and more brotherly love than there is now. And, this is coming from a CHRISTIAN point of view!!!!!
20. 3 jewish ministers...
Sam ,   Alquds, Palestine   (04.01.06)
Well, there are 3 jewish ministers in Chile, do you know the other side of the story? There are 400 thousand palestinians in Chile, and they are the economical motor of this south american wonder, and not only since the beginning of this government, but since the beginning of the 20th century. There is also a football club called Palestino, established in 1920, and which plays in the premiere division there, and which wears the colors of the Palestinian flag. A few months ago, a special report was issued by jewish agencies in the Americas, talking about the very strong influence of the Palestinians in Chile... so people are you still having illusions about the "Jewish miracle" in Chile?
21. How orthodox is Ynetnews.com, exactly?
Aidan Kehoe ,   Berlin, Germany   (04.01.06)
Following the Israeli government, the newly elected Chilean cabinet is the most Jewish government in the world, with three Jewish ministers, one deputy minister serving in government The newly elected Chilean government is the most Jewish government in the world, with three Jewish ministers and one deputy minister serving in the cabinet, Israel’s leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday. What are the people who wrote these sentences, extremist anti-Zionists? Is Israel not a country?
22. # 20
keren ,   sao paulo   (04.01.06)
Nobody is saying that Jews are the only responsables for that country's improvement.Just one more good influence for it,as normally Jews are in the countries they live in. Chile is not a "Jewish Miracle ",of course. You misunderstood the article and the comments.
23. to #21
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.01.06)
Sure Israel is a country. It is just we do not consider the govt. Jewish. Anti-Jewish? They sure are.
24. Of course Keren
Sam ,   Alquds, Palestine   (04.01.06)
Read the comments again and you might see what I saw in them. If not, then most probably you didnt understand them.
25. very interesting
zhoric   (04.02.06)
What is the country outside of the Middle East that has the largest number of "palestinian" arabs??? Yes, you are right. It is CHILE. they number around 300,000 That country also planned to rename the park in the center of the capital after Arafat y'sh when he died.
26. Sam; There are no "Palestinians" anywhere.
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (04.02.06)
Because they don't exist! TheArabs who live in Chile only call themselves "Palestinians" because of anti-Israeli propaganda. There has never been a "Palestinian" country or people. You are psychotic if you think it's true.
27. Me, psychotic???
Sam ,   Alquds, Palestine   (04.02.06)
I wonder how could I be psychotic, for stating facts, and you coming out of nowhere and deciding that there are no Palestinians are fully normal. Palestinians exist, and this is something that does not need to be proven-except maybe for psychotics. Most of your propaganda about a land with no people for a people with no land stresses "founded" facts that the name Palestinians was carved out in the 1930's, whereas the club I talked about was formed in 1920, even before the British mandate on Palestine and was called Palestino, so who is psychotic? Chile has 400 thousand Palestinians Zhoric, not 300 thousand, and 4 of them are playing in the Palestinian National team, and they have more attachment to Palestine than any of the big mouths here writing about their love to the land from far away.
28. Sam; Yes you are a psycho!
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (04.03.06)
There has never been a "Palestinian" nation or people. Israel was re-named Palestine by the Romans and has no Arab connection. Jews were in fact the first people to be called "Palestinians" because Israel is their homeland. Arabs from Jordan and Egypt only started calling themselves "Palestinians" for propaganda purposes. There has never been a "Palestinian" country, language, culture. You are an Arab who is occupying Jewish land! http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/palestine.htm
29. Hi there Linda
Sam ,   Alquds, Palestine   (04.03.06)
Well I consider it a certificate of sanity when someone like you calls me psychotic, you and your sullivan website, you're sooooo boring.
30. Latin America and Jews
Alejandro ,   Chicago   (04.03.06)
The most jewsih country in Latin America is my country, Argentina. So i wouldnt consider Jews the source of Chile's success given the fact that Argentina had an economic collapse not too long ago. In fact, the biggest ethnic minority in Chile is no else then the Palastinians who form a huge population surpasing that of people of Jewish Faith. Funny thing is that when outside of the Middle East, Jews and Arabs tend to work together and trust each other more than they trust Christians, especialy so in countries of the MERCOSUR (Brazil and Argentina) They produce great things together. Sadly, the masacre each other the moment they are in the Middle East. Saludos desde Mar Del Plata. Alejandro
