Bolivia becomes first country to sever ties with Israel over war with Hamas
Bolivia has become the first country to cut ties with Israel since the start of its latest conflict with Hamas, with the South American nation’s leftwing government attributing its decision to alleged war crimes and human rights abuses being committed in the Gaza Strip.
The decision was announced at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon by María Nela Prada, a minister in President Luis Arce’s administration. “We demand an end to the attacks on the Gaza Strip which have so far claimed thousands of civilian lives and caused the forced displacement of Palestinians,” the minister told reporters in her country’s de facto capital, La Paz.
Bolivia’s deputy foreign minister, Freddy Mamani Machaca, said the decision represented “a repudiation and condemnation of the aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip and its threat to international peace and security”.
Bolivia’s move comes after the former president Evo_Morales called for his country to sever ties with Israel because of the “horrific situation facing the Palestinian people”. Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this month, Morales demanded Israel be classified as a “terrorist state” and for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and “his accomplices” be denounced to the international criminal court for genocide and war crimes.
Will Bolivia cut off ties with the Palestinians, at least in Gaza? They barely condemned the terrorist attack. This has made the hyper-leftist UK Guardian, who’s support of Palestinians and denouncement of Israel over the years, it’s support of BDS, right up to the line of Jew hatred, very happy. So happy they forget to mention some really important information: Bolovia and the Islamists in Iran are damned good buddies
(US News and World Report) The Argentine government and members of Bolivia’s opposition demanded answers Monday following the sealing of an opaque defense agreement between Iran and Bolivia that raised concerns in South America’s Southern Cone it could be a way for Tehran to boost its influence in the region.
The deal reached last week has particularly raised concerns in Argentina, where prosecutors have long alleged that Iranian officials were behind the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. Iran has denied any involvement in the attack.
I wonder if Bolivia realizes that the Islamist government of Iran still hates Bolivia, and would love to turn it in an Islamist caliphate.
(UK Express) Yemen’s Houthi rebels have entered the war with Israel after it launched drones and missiles at the south of the country earlier today.
The Houthis are part of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance” and have rallied behind Hamas since the October 7 attacks. They have been at war with Yemen’s internationally recognised government since 2014 and control the capital city of Sana’a.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group launched a “large number” of missiles and drones toward Israel and that it would continue to attack “to help the Palestinians to victory”. While the Houthis have launched missiles at Israel since Tel Aviv declared war on Hamas, this is the first time the group has publicly claimed credit for the attacks.
Funny how, despite the unhinged claiming Trump would start WWIII, things were relatively quiet. With Biden around, everything’s going to crap. And the Jew haters have no problem saying exactly what they believe

Every Jew in Philly should leave, and take their companies with them. I wonder how many voted Democrat and are now realizing Democrats really do hate them?
The latest Republican Speaker of the House sides with Hamas and is holding United States aid to Israel hostage until the Senate and President agree to cut tax enforcement on billionaires.
Up next, Mike “Tiny” Johnson (R-LA) shuts down the United States government!!
Elwood
You are just so full of shit.
JL,
Solid argument.
Do you deny that the new Speaker has proposed only aiding Israel if Congress and the administration cut IRS funding? WTF?
Not even the House will pass that bill. And it took the House 3 weeks to find this putz?
What odds do you give of Johnson preventing a government shutdown?
Do you, Senator Scott and Teach see THESE actions as threats to America?
The far-right wet dream is to destroy America and rebuild it. Refute that.
Elwood:
“After three weeks without a speaker, the House is back in business and putting aid to Israel at the top of its to-do list.
On the same day House Speaker Mike Johnson took office last week, the Republican-led House passed a resolution declaring solidarity with Israel and pledging to give its government the funding needed to defeat Hamas.
Now they’ve introduced a bill aiming to do just that — but not without controversy.
The bill would send $14.3 billion to Israel without addressing funding requests for the war in Ukraine. Johnson’s new bill would pay for the spending with $14.5 billion in cuts to the long-understaffed Internal Revenue Service.”
This is from the leftie https://health.wusf.usf.edu/2023-10-31/house-republicans-aim-to-pay-for-israel-aid-with-cuts-to-irs-funds
You just don’t want the left’s collection agency hurt.
JL,
Wny do you support Hamas? They brutally attacked Israeli citizens killing 1400 of them!! It’s been in all the papers. Some think that Netanyahu allowed the attacks to bolster his approval in Israel and to counter the corruption charges he faces. I cannot imagine that even a reactionary like Netanyahu would or could be so callous.
And you may not know this but the US has a large debt! It’s been in all the papers.
There are two ingredients to the debt. One is spending, the other is revenues. The IRS is necessary for collecting what is owed by scoundrels like the Trump Crime Family members. Of course, millionaires and billionaires prefer not to pay taxes. The Republics have long wanted to get rid of the IRS… remember conservative hero Ron Reagan and his condemnation of the “black-booted thugs” of the IRS?
Anyway, do you agree with “Tiny” Johnson’s ploy to hold up aid to Israel? The House will not approve his bill. The Senate will not approve his bill. President Biden would not sign the bill. Pure and simple, “Tiny” Johnson is playing politics, “lack of virtue signaling” for MAGAts. Disgusting. Is he auditioning to be Big Donnie’s VP choice?
If you have an argument please make it. Now is the time.
“Long understaffed”? I have never heard anyone in or out of government state that the IRS is understaffed. At least not until the Biden Democrats last year started belching about needing more funding for the IRS staff and screaming they’re gonna get all the money off the billionaires. They already do get the money off the billionaires it’s called DNC contributions. I think what they were trying to do is make sure that the Republicans didn’t get their foot in the door with money for border security or a border wall.
Democrats are always for hiring more Democrats to work in government and vote Democrat so the Democrats rule everything. The bastards control everything from your church to your grave and still that’s not good enough.
