Bolivia declares Israel terrorist state, scraps visa exemption agreement

[Kijana Style]

LA PAZ (AFP & RT) – Bolivia on Wednesday renounced a visa exemption agreement with Israel in protest over its offensive in Gaza, and declared it a terrorist state.

President Evo Morales announced the move during a talk with a group of educators in the city of Cochabamba. It "means, in other words, we are declaring (Israel) a terrorist state," he said.

The treaty has allowed Israelis to travel freely to Bolivia without a visa since 1972. Morales said the Gaza offensive shows "that Israel is not a guarantor of the principles of respect for life and the elementary precepts of rights that govern the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of our international community."

Earlier in July, Morales filed a request with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to prosecute Israel for "crimes against humanity."
Other Latin American countries including Chile and El Salvador recalled their ambassadors in Israel on Tuesday for consultations due to the increased violence in the Gaza Strip against civilians. The move follows similar actions by Ecuador, Brazil and Peru who have also recalled their ambassadors.

More than two weeks of fighting in Gaza have left 1,300 dead and 6,000 wounded amid an intense Israeli air and ground campaign in response to missile attacks by the Islamist militant group Hamas.

In the latest development, at least 16 people were killed after two Israeli shells slammed into a United Nations school, drawing international protests. Bolivia broke off diplomatic relations with Israel in 2009 over a previous military operation in Gaza. In mid-July, Morales filed a request with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to prosecute Israel for "crimes against humanity.

What is so amazing with such a declaration? Is it not hypocrisy of the Bolivia itself?, did you know that America had listed Madiba a number one terrorist?, is it not the same USA who announced him a number one hero?

Sasa wewe unaongea nini sijui hapa, maana Bolivia, iko Amerika, lakini Bolivia na Marekani ni nchi mbli tofauti. Marekani ndio waliom-declare Mandela terrorist, sio Bolivia. Sasa unataka kutuambia nini?

Binafsi naona kitendo cha Bolivia ni cha kishujaa na chenye kutoonyesha unafiki, sawa na alivyofanya Nyerere miaka ya nyuma kuwaondoa na kufunga ubalozi wa Israel nchini miaka ya nyuma.

Tunaelewa Israel ina bifu na Hamas, lakini hiyo sio sababu ya kuua raia wa Gaza kama wanavyofanya. Huwezi kuchoma nyumba na watu wasio na hatia ndani yake kwa kuwa tu kuna mwizi kajificha ndani ya hiyo nyumba.

Kama inavyosemwa na watu mbalimbali, katika vita hii ya Israel na Palestina, Hamas wanaua wanajeshi wa Israel na Israel wanaua raia ya Palestina, kutia ndani watoto, wanawake na wazee. Hili halipaswi kukubalika hata kidogo.

Mimi naunga mkono shughuli za Israel, wacha wapalestina wawndelee kukumbatia makombora huku Israel ikiwashauri wakae mbali na maeneo ya wApiganaji harafu wanataka makombora ya IDF yasiwaguse!

Safi sana ni wakati wa nchi zingine kufuata msimamo huu.Bora tanzania tulishaukataa ubalozi wa israel siku mingi

 

[Elungata]

nchi za amerika ya kusini zimeanza kuita mabalozi wao toka israel.
Latin American nations are
expressing their revulsion at
the bloodshed in Gaza — and
squarely pinning the blame on
Israel.
Chile, Peru and El Salvador said
this week they are recalling
their ambassadors from Israel
for consultation. That was after
Ecuador and Brazil did the
same last week.
advertisement
And on Wednesday, Bolivian
President Evo Morales declared
Israel a “terrorist state.”
Lots of world leaders have
denounced the violence on
both sides of Israel’s 3-week-
old war against Hamas in Gaza.
Palestinian casualties have
reached 1,328, according to
Gaza health authorities, while
the Israeli death toll is close to
60.
But the Latin Americans appear
to be leading a diplomatic
storm, flying envoys out of Tel
Aviv.
Recalling an ambassador for
consultation falls short of
breaking off relations outright,
but it can lead to that.
So, why are they doing it?
In a statement on Tuesday,
Chile condemned Hamas for
launching rockets at Israeli
towns, but slammed the Israel
Defense Forces’ bombardment
of Palestinian civilians.
“The Israeli military operations
in Gaza … do not respect the
fundamental norms of
international humanitarian
law, as is demonstrated by the
more than 1,000 civilian
victims, including women and
children, as well as the attack
on schools and hospitals,” the
Chilean statement said.

Brazilian President Dilma
Rousseff described the Israeli
offensive as a “ massacre” and
accused the government in Tel
Aviv of responding
“disproportionately” to Hamas
violence.
The Israeli government
responded Wednesday that it’s
“disappointed.”
“El Salvador, Chile and Peru
would have been much better
advised to promote the
international move intended to
assist Israel in its efforts to
defend innocent civilians and
instate a durable ceasefire
with the demilitarization of
Gaza,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry
said in a statement.
Privately, a senior Israeli official
told GlobalPost, “They are all
very far away and don't really
know what is going on, and
Brazil, for its own reasons, is
pressuring them. Our situation
doesn’t really have any effect
on them, and their action, it
goes without saying, has no
effect on our region.”
The moves to recall
ambassadors “are motivated
by foreign and domestic
policies,” said a Latin American
diplomat, who spoke on
condition of anonymity
because of the delicate nature
of the issue.
He said the leftist governments
of Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela
would have followed suit — if
they had any ambassadors in
Israel to pull out.
Many Latin American nations,
particularly Venezuela and
Chile, have Palestinian
communities. However, there
are also Jewish communities in
almost every nation in the
region, in some cases huge
ones, such as in Argentina.
advertisement
And Israel is an eager trading
partner, with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu this
year launching plans to
increase commerce with the
region.
But media in Latin America
have also shown graphic
images of dead and dying
Palestinians in a way that their
US counterparts usually avoid.
“It remains to be seen how
long these consultations will
last, that they don’t end up
removing their ambassadors
indefinitely,” the diplomat said.
He questioned why they’d do
this in Israel and not in other
problem countries like Russia,
Iran or Syria.
Arnoldo Kraus, a surgeon and
columnist in Mexican
newspaper El Universal,
summed up many Latin
Americans’ views on Israel-
Palestine when he condemned
Hamas but described Israel’s
treatment of the Arabs as
“racist” and the Jewish
settlements on Palestinian land
as “nauseating.”
He added: “The pictures of
dead children horrify. … It’s
impossible not to feel
compassion for the suffering
of the Palestinians and disdain
towards the Israeli army.”

Na kwa ajili hiyo, utumwa na dhiki havitaondoka malangoni penu!.

Mtapanda na hamtavuna.

Mtakusanya watakula wengine.

Mtajenga nyumba, hamtakaa ndani yake.

Mataifa ya mbali yatakula kutoka katika jasho lenu. Mtakuwa chini ya mgeni daima.

Hazi za mikono yenu hazitawapa faida.

Macho yenu yametiwa giza. Japo mnayo lakini hayaoni.

Mtazaa watoto hamtawalea.

Mtakuwa mbali na baraka daima. Kwa ghadhabu zenu mtapotea na wala msiwe na kimbilio.

Lakini, wamchao Mungu, wapendezwao na sheria zake, ambao Mungu wa Israel ni kimbilio lao, watawaona waovu wakiangamia lakini hawatakuwa na hofu. Maana Bwana Mungu wa Israel atawakinga wasipatwe na uharibifu.

Usije ukadhani kuvunja ubalozi ama kumchukia Israel kunakusaidia ama kunamkomesha Israel.

Safi sana ni wakati wa nchi zingine kufuata msimamo huu.Bora tanzania tulishaukataa ubalozi wa israel siku mingi
