Last week, coinciding with International Women’s Day, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) held a special Spanish-language webinar, featuring three inspiring female voices — Catalan journalist and Chair of the CAM Advisory Board for Latin America Pilar Rahola, former Hamas hostage Karina Engel-Bart, and founder and host of the “Tikun Talks” podcast Deborah Apeloig.
The discussion, moderated by CAM Manager of Hispanic Affairs Nurit Caplivschi, was titled “The Israeli Victims: The Forgotten of Feminism.”
More than 300 people watched the broadcast online.
Engel-Bart’s message of “always see the bright side of life” resonated powerfully with the viewers, given the horrific experiences she endured on October 7th when her husband Ronen Engel was murdered (his body is still held in Gaza by Hamas) and she and her two daughters were kidnapped from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. All three were released on Nov. 27, 2023, after surviving six weeks of captivity.

CAM’s outreach in Latin America began four years ago, and since then it has worked diligently to build meaningful partnerships and friendships with influential leaders, lawmakers, diplomats, community organizations, and civil society activists from a diverse assortment of religious, political and cultural backgrounds in the region to combat antisemitism together.
During this time, CAM en Español has emerged as a key player in the battle against Jew-hatred in Latin America, with a growing coalition involved in impactful activities in countries including Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, and Bolivia, among others.
CAM en Español has organized regional summits hosted by Costa Rica in 2024 (where 18 countries were represented), Uruguay in 2023, Panama in 2022, and Guatemala in 2021.
