Colombia breaks all relations with Israel

[Red Velvet]

I don’t think normal people in Latin America care that much either way tbh. I am talking about both Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine camps btw.

Sure, they exist but they’re FAR from being as passionate as their Western counterparts. The Israel supporters are mostly evangelicals who don’t even really understand what’s happening but use Israel symbolisms for the sake of aesthetics as someone told them it’s a far-right religious country that is aligned with their beliefs. Palestine supporters otoh will support stuff that may sound harsh to Western ears, like cutting relationships with Israel, but they aren’t really that passionate about it like you see people in the West demonstrate with solidarity messages or active protesting.

And frankly, I like it that way much more as it’s not something that is happening near us. Much less performative and less emotional reaction than Westerners tend to have, each leader just has their own position/ideology and does something according it and that’s it, people just accept it whatever the hell it is, from relocating Israel embassy to Jerusalem to cutting diplomatic relationships with Israel altogether.

Give me that every day over US and even Europe being clearly Pro-Israel while trying to simultaneously convey a false solidarity for Palestinians in order to appease part of their progressive electorate while failing to do so because it’s obvious and angering those progressive activists instead.
