With nuances and more or less forcefulness, several Latin American countries have condemned Israel's ferocious, disproportionate and unjustifiable bombings in Gaza.
 
The rejections were made at the same time as reports of the machine-gunning of Palestinian civilians, many of them confined to hospitals, or even as they advanced towards the south of the strip.
 
Bolivia denounced that the high number of dead and wounded could be considered a genocide against the Palestinian people and announced the sending of humanitarian aid to the narrow portion of land, in contrast with the suppression of basic services by the occupants.
 
The Bolivian ambassador to the UN, Diego Pary, stated that his country considers Israel to be a state that does not respect life.
 
Further south, Chilean President Gabriel Boric lamented the murder of Palestinian children and his government recalled its ambassador to Israel for consultations.
 
Similar conduct was assumed by the head of state of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who, even in a complex internal political situation, has harshly evaluated Tel Aviv's crimes.
 
Venezuela and Cuba reiterated through official statements and pronouncements their rejection of the atrocities of the Zionist regime, which, according to Caracas, they consider as genocide.
 
For the Brazilian dignitary, Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, the refusal of the perpetrators of the attacks to assume their responsibility for the crimes is unacceptable.
 
For Brazil, the veto by the United States on October 18 of its draft resolution to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza was questionable.
 
As is well known, Israel and its best ally, the United States, assume that the massacres committed by the former seem to be the right "tone" in the current escalation of violence in the Middle East.
 
These and other positions of governments and personalities in several Latin American countries are gaining ground despite a feverish campaign by the hegemonic press to shoehorn the arguments of the Zionist regime.
 
As if the world should admit that the killing of children should be considered "collateral damage" in a war, these corporate media restrict adjectives to refer to Tel Aviv.
 
They often speak of what they call clashes in Gaza, when an ethnic cleansing operation by a regional power, backed by Washington, is underway there.
