Every leader should be saying this. How can the world watch a genocide and not care?

And world leadership shifts — Columbia steps forward and challenges everyone (Hello! so-called “superpowers”!!).

Fair play to Gustavo Petro.

There are times that really show who's who in the world when it comes to the crunch. Some stay silent, some add to the hate and horror, and some have the brains to know what's what and the balls to stand up for what they know in their head and heart.

Major respect to Mr. Petro for his courage and making this profound statement. I hope that his proposal will be implemented and decisive action taken to stop this horrific genocide once and for all.

HOW DO WE SUPPORT THIS?? How do we let the UN know that we support this proposal?

Thank God for Columbia! And for Spain and Italy that have also taken meaningful actions.

t is time to arrest all the EVIL MONSTERS responsible for the genocide in Gaza.

Whatever happened to R2P? The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a global political commitment, adopted in 2005, that asserts that individual states are responsible for protecting their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. If a state fails to protect its population, the international community has the responsibility to assist that state and, if necessary, to take appropriate collective action…

From what we saw in the Donbas apparently only if white enough people call it an ethnic cleansing and only if white enough people do the intervention.

He deserves credit for standing up and pointing out the true perpetrators of the world’s problems. Praying that there will be full action now and the immense pain and suffering of the Palestinian people can finally come to a decisive end.

Sad that this is taking so long but thank goodness there is momentum. And the rest of the world is finally getting over its crush on the U.S. We will have to become true partners to all of the world in the future.

Is all this performative. What if the free world just sent ships to Palestine. Full of food and troops. You know there's a question of whether Israel is the outpost or Israel runs the world. Well we know very well that Musk wasn't “the President” now. Israel is the same. In a moment the western fascist bloc can shut Israel out from lapdog Arab states. Root out their cyber infiltration. Cut them off. Remember those Israeli tried to go into Macron’s church in Israel. Well those ships from the free world are just what the European racists need to put the very too much provincial and racist Israeli on a leash like Nazi Germany. Like don't try to defy the greater western Rheich. The western fascist bloc then automatically has their greater Israel on Iranian borders with an autonomous Kurdish zone, jewlani’s rump state transit fanatic land, Turkey with it's parts. Fait accompli. Palestinians if they can eat after being starved can live and rebuild. All the free world has to do is just set sail.

I mean that the talk of UN reform is obfuscation or a tool used by western vassels. That the actual free world just have to set sail and the political west will act to administer their outpost.
