I mean sure, but what were the push/pull factors that led so many Arab immigrants to settle in Latin America? why would they go there instead of Europe?
Geographic proximity isn't the only factor at play here. Latin America was a relatively permissive place to settle for prospective Arab emigrants, compared to either the US/Canada, or the European empires that controlled their homelands. Once you have a few hundred or so establish a community there, the marginal effort for more to come and live decreases substantially.
