Last weekend, Chileans went to the polls and elected the 155 citizens who will discuss and draft Chile’s new Constitution. The country lived one of its most shocking days in its history over one year after the social outburst against President Sebastian Piñera took place (Oct. 2019 – March 2020). Against predictions, the big winner of the Constituent Convention elections was the left. (more…)

Israel’s PM Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be held accountable for war crimes throughout his PM-ship of Israel, according to the 1945 / 1946 Nuremberg trials criteria. His crimes against humanity, against a defenseless Palestine are comparable to the Holocaust. (more…)

What yes, what no. In Juan Guaidó’s burning ranch everything is rice with mango. A mess of great magnitude. Worse than the tale of the clueless crab. His juggling and morisquette have left him with his legs upside down. He has opened up a tremendous quarrel in the bosom of the fascist right wing that for years has opted for coups and the generation of violence, promoting criminal blockades, attempted assassinations, maritime invasions and other terrorist ploys.

The current confrontations between Israel and Palestine have their origin in ethnic violence and war crimes – with a clear intention of genocide – systematically committed by the former against the population and occupied territories of the latter in Gaza, Tans-Jordan, and Jerusalem.

It was a surprise that crumbled the forecasts of all analysts: this weekend’s elections in Chile confirmed what was experienced in 2019 during the street rebellion. The right did not achieve the necessary third to veto in the constituent assembly and the political structure of the country changed, perhaps irreversibly, with the emergence of new constituent forces and a notable shift to the left.

The U.S.-backed, armed, and funded extreme right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu is currently engaged in a systemic collective punishment campaign against the people of Gaza. More than two million of them are trapped in an open-air prison camp with nowhere to run or hide from this scorched earth operation. Children are being slaughtered.
