The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, responded this Tuesday to the criticism he received for comparing the situation in the Auschwitz concentration camp, during the Holocaust, with that currently experienced in the Gaza Strip, sharing a video of the consequences of the Israeli offensive in response to the Hamas attack. "You can have all the Zionists speak in the press, but here I am going to make another historical comparison. Gaza appears today as destroyed or more so than the Warsaw ghetto after that concentration camp was in response to the Jewish and socialist insurrection. destroyed by Nazi barbarity. 140 Palestinian boys and girls have been bombed to death. They were not Hamas militants," he expressed on the social network X (exTwitter). "Hamas and the Israeli right feed each other in their blood. Before our eyes, Western societies elected right-wing parties in their governments, scared by immigration, and those right-wing parties end up supporting the Israeli extreme right, leading the world to a global 1933," he wrote.
