Buenos Aires, September 13 (RHC)-- Pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Argentina held a rally in the capital, Buenos Aires, ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrival, to condemn the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and crimes against Palestinian people. They carried images depicting Netanyahu as Hitler and reading “Get out Zionists from Palestine. Get out Netanyahu.”

Other images showed mug shots of Netanyahu as a wanted criminal. Messages on those posters read "Wanted for human rights crimes” and "Wanted for the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

Adolfo Perez Esquivel, a notable Argentinean activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, harshly criticized Netanyahu’s visit. He told reporters that the Israeli prime minister faced accusations “of having committed crimes against humanity…for killing civilians, [and] bombarding Palestinian schools, hospitals, and mosques.” He pointed out that this is a first visit by a sitting Israeli prime minister to Latin America.
