In his stirring final speech to a United Nations General Assembly, Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Tuesday called for an international armed intervention to end Israel’s nearly two-year genocide in Gaza.

“We need a powerful army of the countries that do not accept genocide,” Petro, who is in his last year in office and is limited under Colombian law to a single presidential term, told world leaders gathered in New York. “That is why I invite nations of the world and their peoples more than anything, as an integral part of humanity, to bring together weapons and armies.”

“We must liberate Palestine,” he asserted. “I invite the armies of Asia, the great Slavic people who defeated Hitler with great heroism, and the Latin American armies of Bolívar.”

“We’ve had enough words; it’s time for Bolívar’s sword of liberty or death,” Petro argued, referring to the 19th century Latin American independence hero Simón Bolívar.

      Go back to your Hasbara officer and try another lie. IOF coward nazis can NEVER do ground or man to man.

      These coward nazis need to use airplane to bomb a single lone fighter with an AK fighting a whole blatton by himself:

      They cannot even beat a 63 yr old Hamas fighter until they shelled the building he was in, then surrounded it for 3 days while sending drones:

      The most moral and brave army in the world even entrap dogs with bombs and send them first:

      They even send an 80 yr old as human shield: And that’s their actual protocol and practice is to use Palestinian civilians as human shield since decades: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jbCMsYqoNyE

      Or here when they surrounded and bombed a 6 yr old in a van until she died of starvation:

      They are fighting militant groups with very old weapons not many western countries with as good weapons as israel. The idf struggling to destroy hamas in less than two years is a joke in such a small land that gaza is

        Hamas prepared for more than 15 years by building fortifications, record breaking tunnel system, bunkers, weapons caches, booby trapped buildings everywhere, fighters trained for ambushes, etc. in a dense Urban environment deeply embedded between and under civilians. Yeah, that’s unheard of in urban warfare at that scale.

          Yes, and if the I"D"F were killing Hamas, that would be a sensible counter argument. However what they’re doing is simply mowing down any Palestinians they can find get their hands on, and starving the rest. Hamas people dying (even leaving aside the issue of reasonable self-defense) is an occasional accident but they’re not even pretending that that is the aim anymore, otherwise they wouldn’t be deliberately starving everyone including babies and families.

          (I suspect you’re trolling, but what the hell, I’ll respond I guess)

          That’s really impressing to do just like Vietcong did . Nothing you said contradict the idea that the IDF is a joke. Considering how israel don’t care about civilians and are committing a genocide , hamas having tunnels near civilian infrastructure is meanless. The IDF already have experience in guerilla warfare yet they still doing a bad job
