After an extensive search, there are no articles (as of late) that provide any sense of scale to the protests that are ongoing in Argentina and Chile. Any articles found simply state that there is a protest occurring, and just that. The most recent article that was published on the matter, which gives a number of people involved, was on August 10, 2025, in this article. And even then, it states that there were only ten thousand. This is not to say that natives of Latin America are not demanding for zionists to leave. This part of the claim is true. "I want the Jews out of my country" and "the Israelis are burning Patagonia"

This was reported by a social media account called Doha News, which is a Qatari news organization, but was not confirmed or reported on by any single other source. While fires are raging in Patagonia, and there have been accusations that it was Israeli tourists, Source, there is no verifiable evidence that this was protested, and the grenade found at the site was made by an Argentine arms manufacturer rather than an Israeli one, according to Argentinian fact-checking site Chequeado.

There have been large pro Palestinian demonstrations in various capitals of Latin America, especially Santiago and Buenos Aires, but the "100,000+" and the specific slogan "Zionists out of Latin America" have not been corroborated with mainstream journalism. Protests to "stop the slaughter" or cut the diplomatic ties with Israel were reported by Al Jazeera and Reuters to have seen "thousands" march. The exact wording of "expelling Zionists" is more in keeping with regional conspiracies than the articulated aims of the large protest organisers.
