Raine Maida on marriage, music and the Maritimes | SaltWireIn early October, governments in the West were quick to condemn the terrorist attacks by Hamas against innocent Israelis. There was little in the way of equivocation and parsing of words by the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
Similarly, authoritarian and aggressive Salvadoran President Nayib Bukale directly singled out Hamas for harsh treatment. “As a Salvadoran with Palestinian ancestry, I’m sure the best thing that could happen to the Palestinian people is for Hamas to completely disappear. Those savage beasts do not represent the Palestinians.
In contrast, leftist firebrand Luiz Ignácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, without pointing a finger at Hamas or mentioning the word terrorism, “condemns the series of bombings and ground attacks carried out today in Israel starting from the Gaza Strip.” He also called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and for “maximum restraint” by both sides so as to avoid a deadly escalation of the conflict.
In addition, some governments in Latin America and the Caribbean are unable to get past their anti-American dispositions and Washington’s steadfast backing of Israel. There is also a view held in parts of the region that Israel has had a long history of acting repressively against the long-suffering Palestinian people.
