Venezuela Denounces Israel for War Crimes in Palestine

“They believe it is possible. Hitler believed it was possible to kill the Jews in that fascism from 100 years ago. Now Netanyahu believes he can kill women and children so that there are no generations,” declared President Maduro.

The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, has publicly denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what he describes as a “war of extermination” against the Palestinian people.

During a recent broadcast of the presidential program Con Maduro+, the president stated that Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip and other Palestinian areas are a deliberate attempt to eliminate future Arab-Palestinian generations.

Maduro emphasized that indiscriminate attacks have resulted in the deaths of women and children, which clearly indicates an objective to prevent reproduction in illegally occupied territories. “They believe it is possible. Hitler believed it was possible to kill the Jews in that fascism from 100 years ago. Now Netanyahu believes he can kill women and children so that there are no generations,” declared the President Maduro.

The head of state also criticized the lack of action from international bodies such as the UN, pointing to a “complicit silence” similar to that observed during the crimes of Mussolini and Hitler in Europe. “It cannot be that they are now going after children and girls. What do they say at the UN and the organizations that are supposed to protect human rights?” President Maduro questioned.

In his analysis of the current situation, the Venezuelan president referred to a recent law approved by Netanyahu’s regime that allows for the judicial prosecution of Palestinian minors starting at the age of 12.

“There are two sides to this coin: one side is the law to imprison children, but they have been imprisoning and torturing children for decades; the other side is that without law, they kill them,” he warned.

Maduro expressed his hope that the international community would act more decisively to put an end to what he considers genocide and called on António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, to take decisive measures to remove Israel from Palestine. “These are the struggles we must undertake in this 21st century,” concluded the Venezuelan president.
