Petro takes a stand?

[quote]Colombia’s President Petro threatens to cut ties with
Israel over war in Gaza
...
“If we have to suspend foreign relations with Israel, we suspend
them. We do not support genocides,” Petro said on Sunday evening
on X, formerly known as Twitter.
...
Petro, an avid social media user, started sharing comments in
support of what he referred to as the Palestinian cause. He
published photos of Palestinian children killed by Israel’s
military response in Gaza and said: “Terrorism is killing
innocent children, whether in Colombia or Palestine.”
...
Israel called in Colombia’s ambassador for consultations on
Sunday to deliver “a reprimand concerning the hostile and
antisemitic statements against the State of Israel made last
week by the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro,” Haiat said.
...
Petro, a leftist president with a guerrilla past,
...
also said Colombia will send humanitarian aid to Gaza.[/quote]
About Petro:

[quote]Petro had met Chávez in 1994, on Seventh Street in
Bogotá, after inviting the latter to come to Colombia to learn
more about the new Political Constitution of 1991. At the Bridge
of Boyacá, both "swore an oath of Bolivarian integration for
Latin America".[128] After Chávez's death in 2013, Petro
affirmed that he was a "great Latin American leader", saying:
"You lived in Chávez's times and maybe you thought he was a
clown. You were fooled. You lived in the times of a great Latin
American leader". He also expressed: "Even if many do not like
him, Hugo Chávez will be a man who will be remembered by the
history of Latin America, his critics will be forgotten", "a
friend and a hope is gone".[127][/quote]

The statement we have been waiting for:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/turkeys-erdogan-says-hamas-not-112649881.html
[quote]Turkey's Erdogan says Hamas is not terrorist
organisation, cancels trip to Israel
...
ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, in his
strongest comments yet on the Gaza conflict, said on Wednesday
the Palestinian militant group Hamas was not a terrorist
organisation but a liberation group fighting to protect
Palestinian lands.
NATO member Turkey condemned the civilian deaths caused by
Hamas's Oct. 7 rampage in southern Israel, but also urged
Israeli forces to act with restraint in their response. Ankara
has strongly criticised Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
"Hamas is not a terrorist organisation, it is a liberation
group, 'mujahideen' waging a battle to protect its lands and
people," he told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party, using an
Arabic word denoting those who fight for their faith.[/quote]
You can tell the importance of this statement by the reaction of
those who dislike it:
[quote]Israel rejected Erdogan's description of Hamas, with
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat calling the group "a
despicable terrorist organisation".
"Even the Turkish president's attempt to defend the terrorist
organisation and his inciting words will not change the horrors
that the whole world has seen," Haiat wrote on social media
platform X.
Erdogan's comments also drew a swift rebuke from Italian Deputy
Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who said they were "grave and
disgusting and did not help with de-escalation". He urged
Italy's foreign minister to lodge a formal protest with
Ankara.[/quote]

The Arabs are sitting on oceans of oil, but they can't get a
barrel of oil into Gaza, nor they are using their oil to put
pressure on the West.

On a side note, what are your thoughts about the House of Saud
being crypto-Jews? On the one hand, they seem to be becoming
more friendly with them, but on the other hand, they are one of
the few countries in the world that does not even recognize
Israel as a country. Is it just Iranian propaganda?

⚡️In the first telephone conversation between
Ayatollah Raisi and His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman, they
agreed on the need to stop war crimes against Palestine. Islamic
unity was emphasised and both expressed the view that the
regime's crimes and the US green light would lead to a
devastating danger for the regime and its supporters.

I find it believable, but it makes little practical difference.
Either way they are genetic trash:

[quote]Falconry and horse-riding were Khalid's favorite
pastimes.[3][140] He was described as a man of the desert.[40]
He had one of the best falcon collections.[141] In the late
1970s King Khalid was given a rare Alberta-trained gyrfalcon by
the Canadian government as a gift.[142] Hunting was also one of
his favorites, and he went to African countries to participate
in hunting safaris when he was young.[141] Khalid bought the
first Toyota Landcruiser in 1955 for falconry.[143] In December
1975 he bought the then longest Cadillac at 25 feet and 2 inches
long again for falconry,[144] and Time magazine called it
"Khalidillac".[56] In June 1974 while he was Crown Prince in a
meeting with US Foreign Minister Henry Kissinger Khalid stated
that he had been interested in hunting with hawks for forty
years.[121][/quote]

[quote]King Fahd was known to enjoy luxurious living abroad and
a lavish lifestyle. He visited the ports of the French Riviera
in his 147-metre (482 ft) yacht, the US$100 million Prince
Abdulaziz. The ship featured two swimming pools, a ballroom, a
gym, a theatre, a portable garden, a hospital with an
intensive-care unit and two operating rooms, and four American
Stinger missiles.[65] The king also had a personal $US150
million Boeing 747 jet, equipped with his own fountain. In
Fahd's younger years, he used to engage in activities considered
un-Islamic, such as drinking and gambling. Fahd reportedly lost
millions of dollars in casinos and started using illegal methods
to regain the same amount.[66] [/quote]

stables were considered the largest in Saudi Arabia, with over
1,000 horses spread throughout five divisions led by his son
Prince Mutaib.[159][/quote]

Mohammed beat his wife so severely that medical treatment was

Bermuda-registered yacht Serene from Russian vodka tycoon Yuri
Shefler for €500 million.[305][306] In 2015, he purchased the
Château Louis XIV in France for over $300 million.[307][308]
In December 2017, a number of sources reported that Mohammed,
using his close associate Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Mohammed
Al Farhan as an intermediary, had bought Salvator Mundi by
Leonardo da Vinci; the sale in November at $450.3 million set a
new record price for a work of art.[309][310][311][312][/quote]

Israel Withdraws Diplomats From Turkey | Erdogan Ready To
Declare Israel A “War Criminal” | Hamas
[quote]Israel said it was pulling its diplomats out of Turkey to
“reassess relations” with the country, The Times of Israel
reported on October 28. The move came as President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan continued to lash the Jewish state for its actions in
the Gaza Strip. In a statement, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said
the action was being taken in light of the escalating rhetoric
from Turkey. Erdogan, whose government only recently restored
full diplomatic ties with Israel, has massively stepped up his
criticism of the country. In a recent rally, the Turkish
President said his country was making preparations to proclaim
Israel a “war criminal”. Watch this video to know more.[/quote]

The current Muslim leaders are the greatest cowards that ever
walked the earth.
They are humiliating the Umma for not making a move.
At a minimum, cut off the oil - #NoOilForIsrael.
Kick out Israeli ambassadors and cut all diplomatic ties -
#KickThemOut
Come on, cowards!
