Bogota, September 22 (RHC)-- The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has denounced the deafening silence in the face of the genocide that Israel is committing with the aggression against the Gaza Strip.

The Colombian president asserted that "anyone who defends this genocide or is silent in the face of it has their own human condition destroyed."

“It seems that Goebbels is the one who directs the world's communications so that tens of thousands of journalists are silenced in the face of their murdered colleagues and 20,000 babies torn to pieces by bombs,” the president said on the digital network X.

Goebbels, Hitler's fascist propagandist, imposed the communications school of the extreme right that is based on the extension of lies and their repetition and that allows manipulation and mental control

“The extreme right supposes a control over individuals emptied of knowledge and without mental freedom.  Lies and passionate unreason configure the militant of the extreme right,” Petro added.

He also denounced the assault of an occupation army on a television news network.  Zionist forces stormed the offices of Al Jazeera in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank, and ordered the Doha-based news network to stop its routines as part of an exercise of coercion of press freedom.

The Israeli military says it closed Al Jazeera’s office in Ramallah because it incited “terror.”  Al Jazeera rejected what it called “the unfounded allegations presented by Israeli authorities to justify these illegal raids”.

The head of the network's West Bank office, Walid al-Omari, was ordered to close for 45 days, as they are accused of "inciting and supporting terrorism."

Journalist Givara Budeiri said that Israeli occupation forces used tear gas in the vicinity of the Al Jazeera office and Al-Manara Square, located in the center of the city in the occupied West Bank.

She added that Israeli soldiers seized their cameras, and said she feared for the safety of the media's video archives and files, which are stored in the office and are at risk of being destroyed.

Occupied West Bank correspondent Nida Ibrahim said in a phone call that the invasion of the West Bank and the closure order did not come as a surprise, after they had previously been prevented from reporting from inside Israel.
