Sep 24, 2025In 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.
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)
