Why Latin American diplomats are pulling out of Israel

More and more of the region's governments are yanking their ambassadors out of the country in protest

Of course we obviously know why they are pulling their diplomats. As a protest against Israeli mass murder in Gaza...

Slowly the world is coming to realize the evils of the nation of Israel. Hopefully soon the world will isolate Israel as it did to South Africa in order to destroy its apartheid system that country employed, and in this case to force Israel AND THE US, to finally negotiate for peace with the Palestinians by ending the occupation and reach a two-state solution by GIVING THE PALESTINIANS THEIR OWN STATE…

If the world has to boycott Israel, put sanctions on it, and totally isolate it from the world community as the US did to Iraq and Iran and is now trying to do with Russia.

For Israel has done untold evil
And they are never sanctioned!

Here the South American states are coming together to make a statement to the world of solidarity to the Palestinians people that they will not tolerate the mass murder of Palestinians in GAZA. And at the same time condemning Hamas...

LIMA, Peru and JERUSALEM — Latin American nations are expressing their revulsion at the bloodshed in Gaza — and squarely pinning the blame on Israel.

Chile, Peru and El Salvador said this week they are recalling their ambassadors from Israel for consultation. That was after Ecuador and Brazil did the same last week.

And on Wednesday, Bolivian President Evo Morales declared Israel a “terrorist state.”

Lots of world leaders have denounced the violence on both sides of Israel’s 3-week-old war against Hamas in Gaza. Palestinian casualties have reached 1,328, according to Gaza health authorities, while the Israeli death toll is close to 60.

But the Latin Americans appear to be leading a diplomatic storm, flying envoys out of Tel Aviv.

Recalling an ambassador for consultation falls short of breaking off relations outright, but it can lead to that.

So, why are they doing it?

In a statement on Tuesday, Chile condemned Hamas for launching rockets at Israeli towns, but slammed the Israel Defense Forces’ bombardment of Palestinian civilians.

“The Israeli military operations in Gaza … do not respect the fundamental norms of international humanitarian law, as is demonstrated by the more than 1,000 civilian victims, including women and children, as well as the attack on schools and hospitals,” the Chilean statement said.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff described the Israeli offensive as a “massacre” and accused the government in Tel Aviv of responding “disproportionately” to Hamas violence.

The Israeli government responded Wednesday that it’s “disappointed.” “El Salvador, Chile and Peru would have been much better advised to promote the international move intended to assist Israel in its efforts to defend innocent civilians and instate a durable ceasefire with the demilitarization of Gaza,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“demilitarization of Gaza,” says the Israeli Foreign Minister”

Does he mean the genocide of Palestinians as demilitarization of Gaza?

Thumbs up to the Latin countries, hopefully many more countries will follow their lead.

The problem is the 5 members of the security council, the 5 largest arms dealers, the 5 most powerful nations on earth all have defense deals with Israel. So long as the US, France, UK, Russia and China are all making weapons or defense tech deals with Israel it really does not matter what anybody else does.

Right up until the rest of the world officially decides that the US and israel are terrorist states and boycotts the both of us.
Nations are quickly getting away from the US dollar.
And truthfully, what does the US or israel really have to trade?
The recent UN vote showed israel had only 1 boot licker left.
Imagine when the UN is disbanded and or the only 2 members left are the US and israel.
Pretty real situation here in the making.
The US needs to dump this bully and boycott them.
Fence sitters and supporters are starting to jump to the peaceful side of the fence, time is short.

That's a misprint. It's supposed to read "demolition of Gaza".

I'm sure all those Latin American nations are recalling their diplomats because they are worried about their safety, what with all the destruction HAMAS is causing in Israel... ... Sorry, couldn't keep a straight face while typing that.

But seriously, good on them for calling a spade a spade even if it has no real effect.

Your fooling yourself if you think Russia and China much less France, the UK and the US are going to let anything real happen to Israel. And for that matter you can add India to that group. The UK, US and France see Israel as money machine and way to test weapons and Russia, China and India see Israel as vital for defense tech like drones. And lets also face the fact that the Europe, the Arab States and Turkey all depend on Israel as a counter to Iran. And while they publicly condem Israel they are all happy to work with her in private.

The fact is Israel is to important for all the worlds great powers and the entire region and that is why now as always nothing of significance will happen to Israel. If the world powers or Europe or the Arab States really wanted to hurt Israel they would have done so by now.

Good to see some countries starting to take a stand against israel .. if recall there were a few of them that recognised palestine as a state ..

Right or wrong either side of the funded wheel, innocent people are dieing.. It all must stop, who are you to say who lives and dies? It must end.

I'm pretty sure that "who lives & who dies" is pretty much up to anyone who cares to make the decision.
