Nicaragua has formally severed diplomatic relations with Israel, accusing it of “genocide” and military aggression in the Palestinian territories.

According to a resolution passed by the National Assembly on Friday, the break in relations is a response to the “brutal genocide that the fascist and war criminal government of Israel continues to commit against the Palestinian people.”

President Daniel Ortega has instructed the Foreign Ministry to “abide” by parliament’s request and cut diplomatic relations with Israel, according to Vice President Rosario Murillo.

“We respect the Israeli people who demand the cessation of this massacre, barbarism, and crimes committed by the nefarious Zionist government and army,” the Nicaraguan parliamentary resolution said, calling the Israeli government “an enemy of humanity, which intends to spread its barbarism throughout the Middle East, endangering world peace and security.”

    Good, they should be pariahs everywhere they go. Women should cover their drinks with napkins if one enters a bar. People should place themselves between them and their children when an isntraeli is around. People should spit in their food and bump into them super hard on sidewalks. They should be ashamed to the point of doing the deed. Not sorry.

      I met one in a hostel in Kunming and he was utterly vile. Everyone was happy when he left.

      He got one girls name wrong and then responded that all Chinese people look the same when his mistake was pointed out.
