Family! I need you all to watch these videos. I think these words are the most important given by a world leader in the entire 2 years of this genocide.

Asalamu alaikum Shaun

Thank you for sharing and thank you to the President of Columbia for his solidarity with Palestine -

What a time we live in; the President of Columbia is threatened while the repulsive war criminal murdering coward head of the Apartheid Zionist Colony and de-facto President of the U.S. and war criminal has a red carpet rolled out to walk on top of the puny heads of all U.S. Presidents!

History is recording the truly free and brave as well as the bribed cowards!

Free Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ = Free America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I believe the translation for the new armed group is "Salvation of the World Army." I feel some small ember of hope listening to this elected leader, Gustavo Petro.

The rich Arab Emirates should hang their heads in shame except the houtis Yemeni hope the head of state from Columbia will be able to create a front strong enough to start creating a force to be able to oppose visibly the ennemis of Palestine

Colombia is putting together a Uniting for Peace resolution at the UN, which allows for a UN peacekeeping force in Gaza.

I got more, if you are interested. Here's a couple:

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Please sign the petition and share widely.

and letter writing as well:

Thereโ€™s a campaign to have the Delaware Attorney General, Kathy Jennings, dissolve the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) which is incorporated in Delaware. The group DELPHR has launched an effort to put pressure on the Deleware Attorney general, with a letter-writing effort. You can do your part and sign on here:

national letter-writing tool which was created by the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Hopefully it won't just come down to the people but a voluntary peacekeeping force is a good idea to show people's care and support for Palestine. If the world thinks there aren't people who are willing to put their lives on the line to stop the murder of thousands every month, they're sorely mistaken.

Major respect to President Petro for his courage and conviction! Totally agreed, unfortunately diplomacy has failed to stop this horrific genocide, and the genocidal occupiers don't abide by international law. Hopefully, his plan can be implemented and this slaughter and horror ended as soon as possible.

The people of Colombia have only in the past decade, or so, managed to elect a leader who is not under the thumb of the USA. Go back a few more decades, and the same can be said of the people of Venezuela, who are now facing the hammer of imminent invasion. The world situation is fraught, and it all goes back to the USA, which is hell bent on exerting imperialist power from the river to the sea. Every river, every sea.
