History
editEl Mundo Árabe was founded by Jorge Sabaj Zurob, a Palestinian immigrant, in 1931.[1] During World War II, it was banned by the Allied Forces because it published Nazi propaganda.[2] In 1949, it was again accused of stoking anti-semitic sentiment in Chile.[2]
In 2014, the Senate of Chile celebrated its 82nd anniversary, with Eugenio Tuma and Francisco Chahuán, two senators of Palestinian descent, speaking about its founder.[1]

A demand that the Chilean Government take action against the Chilean Arab newspaper Mundo Arabe if it continues its anti-Jewish campaign is voiced in the widely read Santiago newspaper Noticias de Ultima Hora, just received here. [...] It adds that the Arabe Mundo served as a propaganda organ of the Nazis during the late war and as such was blacklisted by the Allies.
