The “number two” of the Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization Hamas, Musa Abu Marzuq thanked Chile, Ecuador, Brazil, Peru and El Salvador for calling their respective ambassadors in Israel to consult as a result of the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

“I want to take this opportunity to address our gratitude to the peoples and governments of Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Peru and El Salvador,” said Abu Marzuk, in Cairo. These countries called their ambassadors for consultations in the last two weeks in protest against what they described as “indiscriminate bombings” and “non-respect for international humanitarian law,” according to the different governments. The deputy head of the Hamas Political Office expressed his “great appreciation to these countries for the solidarity shown with the Palestinian people.”

Regarding the position of the international community, the Hamas leader stressed that it has generally been favorable to the Palestinians, because the Israeli operations have been condemned. His criticism was directed against the United States, which he accused of having “always a partial position in favor of Israel. “” Our children and women are killed with American weapons, “he denounced.

Thanking only the government, the evangelical people support Israel

The Evangelical website has strongly distanced itself from the government position.

As Latin Arabia has noted before, the growing Evangelical Church in Latin America is very pro-Zionist. The Evangelicals have events like a NIGHT TO HONOR ISRAEL. The Evangelicals are often the only group standing against an anti-Israel view.

In Brazil, the present president, Bolsonaro, is married to an Evangelical, and he is very pro-Israel.

In Chile, right now, the Palestinian-Chilean community holds sway. In time, as Evangelicalism grows in Chile – and it is growing – the pro-Palestinian attitude of the government will change.
