%X The Palestinian diaspora and Arab communities in Latin America, especially in Brazil, have contributed significantly to the Palestinian cause in Latin America. The convergence between these communities and union and left parties encouraged the left to include the Palestinian cause on its agenda. Brazil may be considered a model in this respect because of the influence of its Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers¡¯ Party¡ªPT), which led the Latin American left after the founding of the S£¿o Paulo Forum in 1992. The Palestinian community has an even greater role to play today, the more so since the PT¡¯s exclusion from power favors Israel at the expense of the Palestinian cause. A di¨¢spora palestina e as comunidades ¨¢rabes na Am¨¦rica Latina, especialmente no Brasil, teem contribu¨ªdo significativamente para a causa palestina na Am¨¦rica Latina. A converg¨ºncia entre essas comunidades, sindicatos e partidos de esquerda levou a esquerda a incluir a causa palestina em sua agenda. O Brasil pode ser considerado um modelo nesse aspecto devido ¨¤ influ¨ºncia do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), que liderou a esquerda latino-americana ap¨®s a funda£¿£¿o do F¨®rum de S£¿o Paulo em 1992. A comunidade palestina tem uma relevancia ainda maior j¨¢ que a perda de poder do PT favorece Israel em detrimento da causa palestina
