At the Eighth International Assembly of the Human Rights Observatory of the Peoples, pro-Palestinian activists expressed their “repudiation” of the invitation made by Morena party deputy Pedro Haces to Rabbi David Yosef to attend the Chamber of Deputies, since that religious leader is a “Zionist” because he “supports the genocide in Palestine.”
Daniela González López, international coordinator of the Peoples’ Human Rights Observatory, and university professor Eduardo Correa, a member of the Observatory’s Advisory Council, said that they “reject the invitation to a Zionist rabbi.”
Gonzalez Lopez told La Jornada that “we are against Zionism and all those who support it. We categorically condemn these shameful acts, because we are facing a brutal genocide that has left more than 70,000 people dead in Palestine and 20,000 children suffering from hunger, without schools, homes, or anything. It is terrible that legislator Haces opened the doors to this Zionist rabbi.”
During his speech, Correa, who is an academic at the Autonomous University of Mexico City (UACM), advocated for a “dignified international policy” and criticized the deputy coordinator of Political Operations for Morena in the Chamber of Deputies.
The attendees shouted: “Out with Pedro Haces!, Out with Pedro Haces!, Out with Pedro Haces!” and “He’s going to fall! He’s going to fall, Pedro Haces is going to fall, Zionism is going to fall!”
The professor emphasized that “what happens in Gaza, in Palestine, unites us, makes us brothers and sisters,” and lamented the bombing of boats in the Pacific Ocean, undertaken by the administration of US President Donald Trump. The professor said that these boats were probably not drug traffickers, “perhaps they belong to fishermen, we don’t know.”
