More than expressing outrage

Venezuela has expelled the Israeli ambassador to protest against the country’s assault on Gaza, after the Venezuelan president described it as a “holocaust”.

Venezuela’s foreign ministry said in a statement that Israel’s campaign constituted “flagrant violations of international law” and the use of “state terrorism”.

“For the reasons mentioned above, the government of Venezuela has decided to expel the ambassador of Israel and part of the personnel of the embassy of Israel,” the statement said.

    Venezuela has thus become the first nation to move beyond the torrent of words and into the realm of action..and needs to be applauded for that.

    It’s action that’ll always speak louder than words.

    Imagine if the world expelled all of Mugabe’s envoys..and recalled their own from Harare. Food for thought?

    I suggest you read some of Gowans essays on Zimbabwe to see how youve been duped.
