the international community, if you will
When was that vote? Brazil cut diplomatic relations with Israel a while ago
I believe right after October 7th, within a month at least.
Just read some news on this. The government was sorta both siding, in favor of ceasefire, criticized the attack itself, not Hamas, and criticized Israel. That is until Lula took a more critic position of Israel, and they didn't like it, then things escalated. Brazil has a diplomatic tradition of neutrality, arguing for peace, that's probably where this position came from at first
Whatβs with Latin America and their attitude against Hamas?
Disconnected from the rest of the global south and taken in by western neoliberal propaganda. Probably because US has a lot of sway over them and even the leftish countries play suck up when democrats are in charge, like Brazil and Mexico.
Couldnβt tell you more than that. Do they have a very negligible Arab or Muslim population? If Trump was president during this I bet it would look different as Lula and AMLO would have better sense and less ties
Some of the largest Palestinian diaspora are in Latin America. Chile has the largest population of them outside of Palestine and the MENA region. My country of Guatemala has the third highest in all of North America. President Bukele of El Salvador is Palestinian.
Your point about us being taken in by NATO liberal media is very true. Even our center-left president canβt bring himself to do anything against Israel.
Religion probably plays a role, making the propaganda described by Z more easily swallowed
lol

Next time someone calls Pakistan a lap dog of the US, just show them this map. There is not another country on the planet that toes the imperial line and yet at the same time, for all intents and purposes, cucks the US when it suits them.
I get that people on here and on the βleftβ world over fault them for, I donβt know what, being the only muslim nuclear power in Asia, not publicly supplying the Palestinians with weapons or like, atomic bombs? but itβs quite honestly such a complex geopolitical entity that Iβm surprised the US is constantly thirsting over taking over Iran all the time instead of managing their weird bdsm relationship with Pakistan. But after all, the MIC only loves money and oil and destabilization and the absolute destruction of Israel and the entire region is not a concern
Turkey does this a lot too, which is why lots of westerners hate Erdogan nearly as much as they hate the Putin
My criticism of the Pakistani government is mostly surrounding its role in the War on Terror and its complicity, but I also hold equal criticism of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, The Gulf States, Egypt and others when they act as agents of US foreign policy against the interests of their own people. Pakistan is not alone in doing this.
I liked Khan a lot, would like to see more of a return in that direction.
Ooh now let's do the first one with a map of Muslim majority nations.
So the only one to oppose is Albania.
Bosnia too.
