Israel Must End ‘Genocide’ Of Palestinians- Spanish Minister

Spanish Minister for Social Rights lone Belerra has called on the international community to sanction Israel, which she accused of a “planned genocide” of Palestinians in Gaza.

“Belerra who is also the leader of the far-left Podemos party, condemned world leaders for an apparent double standard – saying while human rights abuses in Ukraine have been decried, there is a “deafening silence” on the victims of Israeli bombardment.

“The Israeli State must end this planned genocide against the Palestine people,” Belarra said.

“Why can we give lessons in human rights in other conflicts and not here when the world is watching in horror? The deaths of thousands of children, the mothers desperately shouting because they are witnessing the killing of their children.

There is a deafening silence of so many countries and so many political leaders who could do something. I speak about what I know well, which is the European Union.It seems the display of hypocrisy, which the European Commission is showing, is unacceptable.”

Spain and other nations should break off diplomatic relations with Israel in protest against its assault on Gaza, she insisted.
