Bogota: In a strongly worded condemnation of Israeli war crimes against Palestinians, Colombian President Gustavo Petro Sunday called Benjamin Netanyahu a mass murder and genocidaire.
Taking to social media platform X, originally launched as Twitter, Petro said Netanyahu will go down in the history as a “genocidaire” and “mass murderer”, and not as a hero.
“Mr Netanyahu, you will go down in history as a genocidaire. Dropping bombs on thousands of innocent children, women and elderly people does not make you a hero”, Petro wrote in Spanish.
Petro also compared Netanyahu with the Nazis who killed millions of Jews in Europe, asserting that a genocide is a genocide regardless of the religion of those killed.
“You remain alongside those who killed millions of Jews in Europe. A genocide is a genocide no matter if he has religion or not. Try to at least stop the massacre”, he wrote.
Petro’s social media post was in response to Netanyahu who accused him of being “antisemitic”.
“Israel will not be lectured by an antisemitic supporter of Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that massacred, raped, mutilated and burned alive 1,200 innocent people on October 7. Shame on you President Petro!” Netanyahu wrote.
Netanyahu is repeatedly accusing Palestinian Resistance Fighters of rape and sexual assault even though international independent observers have found no evidence to support the Zionist claims.
Señor Netanyahu, pasará usted a la historia como un genocida. Lanzar bombas sobre miles de niños y niñas, mujeres y ancianos inocentes no lo hace a usted un héroe. Queda usted al lado de quienes mataron millones de judíos en Europa.

A group of media experts in the United States have even asked The New York Times to review its report relating to the fabricated claims of sexual assault by the Resistance fighters.
Hamas and other Palestinian Resistance Fighters are in war against Israel to free their lands under the Zionist occupation since more than 70 years.
Tired of the Zionist expansion on the occupied Palestinian land, atrocities by the Israeli Occupation Forces and continued provocation by the illegal settlers, the Resistance Fighters stormed the occupied territories by land, see and air on Oct 7, 2023.
In the operation named “Al Aqsa Flood”, some 1,100 people were killed whereas the Resistance Fighters also took hostage around 250 to press their demands, and free thousands of Palestinians languishing in Israeli jails.
As many as 110 hostages were released in November last in exchange of the Palestinian prisoners. Around 130 hostages are still in the custody of the resistance fighters.
Following the ‘Operation Al Aqsa Storm’, Israeli Occupation Fighters intensified their war against the Palestinians and have killed close to 35,000 civilians, wounded around 80,000 – majority of them women and children, since Oct 7, 2023.
Because of the round the clock Israeli bombing on Gaza Strip around 1.4 million Palestinians have moved to Rafah where they are starving due to the Zionist blockade.
The Israeli Occupation Forces have now announced to invade Rafah – the move opposed by the United Nations and International Court of Justice (ICJ) besides others.
As Israeli forces “carpet-bombed” Jabalia in Northern Gaza Sunday, killing and wounding several Palestinians, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for an ‘immediate’ ceasefire.
“A ceasefire will only be the start,” he said in a video address to an international donors’ conference in Kuwait, adding, “It will be a long road back from the devastation and trauma of this war.”
