Quebracho (group)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quebracho is an Argentine left-wing revolutionary movement, that self-proclaims as bolivarian. Its official name is Movimiento Patriótico Revolucionario Quebracho (Revolutionary Patriotic Movement Quebracho). [1] [2]
[edit] Anti-Israel incidents
Quebracho prevented an anti-Iran demonstration in August 2006 in Argentina.[3]
On August 30, Quebracho participated in a demonstration supporting Hezbollah and against the State of Israel in the context of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict in front of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires.[3]
After meeting with the Argentinian Interior Minister, DAIA and AMIA leaders filed a lawsuit against Quebracho on September 1 at the Federal Court, accusing it of incitement and disturbing public order.[3]
Kirszenbaum and Luis Grynwald, AMIA’s president, told the court that Quebracho "gives us enormous preoccupation and sadness as Argentines," not just as Jewish leaders.[3]
AMIA board member Edgardo Gorenberg described Quebracho as "a threat to democracy," saying it "recalls the darkest" parts of Argentine history.[3]
