Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Says Nation Will Shelter Palestinian Children

“Protestors lined the streets of Caracas in a large demonstration; however, this protest was not against the Maduro administration: it was a show of solidarity with Palestine.”

“President Nicolas Maduro called the march forth on Thursday to show Palestine that the Venezuelan people supported them, according to Noticias24. Chanting, 'Resist, Palestine!' the group of people made their way from Morelos Square to Diego Ibarra Square, where protestors repudiated Israel's attacks on Gaza.”

“'I have already decided to build a foster home with the name Hugo Chavez to bring children injured in the war and who have lost their parents, who are without their mothers, who have been orphaned,' he said, according to TeleSur.”

“'We are going to bring them to Venezuela and raise them with love; and with the agreement of the Palestinian state we are going to find some of these children Venezuelan mothers and fathers,' added Venezuela's socialist president.”

“The Latin American Herald Tribune reports that Maduro has called on the nations of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) to help shelter the children. Founded by Cuba and Venezuela, the organization includes Bolivia, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Santa Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda as well as the founding countries.”

“'There is no war, Israel, recognized by the UN, is an occupying power which has been evicting Palestinians from their historical territory and has launched a war of extermination to evacuate Gaza and seize the Strip,' Maduro said at the end of his speech.”

Bolivia’s Evo Morales Calls Israel a “Terrorist State,” Israel Loses Support in Latin America

“The conflict in Gaza between Hamas and Israel has crossed the ocean and reached Latin America, leading to countries in the region to pick sides. Bolivia is the latest in the Western Hemisphere to oppose Israeli violence in Gaza in a wave of opposition against Israel in the region.”

“Bolivia's Socialist president, Evo Morales, denounced Israel's violence against civilians in Gaza, enacting new travelling sanctions against Israelis, according to the Bolivian newspaper La Razon.”

“'Israel is not a guarantor of the principles of respect for life and of basic rights governing the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of our international community,' Morales said in the city of Cochabamba, following a decision by his cabinet of ministers.”

“Aside from Bolivia, five other Latin American nations have criticized Israel's actions and have recalled their envoys, according to the Buenos Aires Herald. Along with these is also the economic trade bloc Mercosur, comprised of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela and Paraguay. All but Paraguay signed a communiqué decrying the 'disproportionate use of force' by Israel and calling for a cease-fire.”

“Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and El Salvador have all recalled their ambassadors, according to the Wall Street Journal, which does not have much clout in the larger scheme of things. However, some of these countries do not have leftist governments that oppose U.S. policy but are centrist governments enjoying good relations with Washington, showing the extent of animosity against Israel.”

Meanwhile, more than 10 thousand people demonstrated to show their support to Palestinian people on Saturday in Santiago-Chile, and called Chile's president, Michelle Bachelet, to cut diplomatic relations with Israel because of the genocide in Gaza Strip.

The peaceful demonstration ended in front of the La Moneda mansion, with banners and slogans like "Stop the genocide of Palestinians" and "No more deaths of innocent children". On Tuesday, the government called its ambassador in Israel for further discussions after the escalation of military operations from Israel against Gaza Strip. The Chilean government (under Piñera administration) recognized in 2011 Palestine as sovereign state, without, however, to define its borders.

    Looking at the situation 2 years later when Venezuelans can't find enough to eat, I must say that worked out well. Not.

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable.    The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc.   Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s.   As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances.    In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

Atlanta Police Violently Arrest Emory Students & Faculty to Clear Gaza Solidarity Encampment

Democracy Now!   As a wave of student protests against Israel’s war on Gaza continues to spread from coast to coast, schools and law enforcement have responded with increasing brutality to campus encampments.    One of the most violent police crackdowns took place at Emory University in Atlanta on Thursday, when local and state police swept onto the campus just hours after students had set up tents on the quad in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza as well as the planned police training center known as Cop City.    Police used tear gas and stun guns to break up the encampment as they wrestled people to the ground, and are accused of using rubber bullets. Among those arrested were a few faculty members.    Democracy Now! spoke with two of the arrested professors: Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department, and Emil’ Keme, professor of English and Indigenous studies.

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network   Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam.    In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel.    TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California.

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now!   As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police. The Palestine Congress was scheduled to be held for three days, but police stormed the venue as the first panelist spoke.    Germany's Interior Ministry had also banned some conference speakers from even entering the country, including Varoufakis, the Palestinian British surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah and the Palestinian researcher Salman Abu Sitta.    " This is not about protecting Jewish lives and Jews from antisemitism. It's all about protecting the right of Israel to commit any war crime of its choice, " says Varoufakis.    Varoufakis speaks also about freeing Julian Assange and his new book Technofeudalism .      Related: Germany again on a dark path towards fascism

Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, NYU & Yale

Democracy Now!   Palestinian solidarity protests and encampments are appearing on college campuses from Massachusetts to California to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza and to call for divestment from Israeli apartheid. This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University.    Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night.    Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week. "In my opinion, the NYPD were called in under false pretenses by the president of the university," says Joseph Slaughter, professor at Columbia University. "The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro

'Make no mistake, the full-scale assault on Rafah would be a human catastrophe': Guterres

Al Jazeera English   United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has appealed for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza. He says the Middle East is at risk of explosion if the fighting continues. In his speech, Guterres urged Israel’s allies to press its leadership to stop the war on Gaza.  “ I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy. The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid, ” he said. “ It is time for the parties to seize the opportunity and secure a deal for the sake of their own people. ”

Day 1846: Julian Assange still in prison and under slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist criminals

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is
