‘Peaceful’ Pro-Hamas Protests in Colombia End in Widespread Violence

Tuesday pro-Hamas “peaceful” protests in the Colombian cities of Bogotá and Medellín concluded with numerous acts of vandalism and clashes between violent protesters and law enforcement, leaving several injured.

Colombian leftists held a series of pro-Hamas rallies on Tuesday in Bogotá, Medellín, and other cities to mark the second anniversary of Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack on Israel, in which the jihadist group killed, raped, and tortured random civilians, including children and newborn babies, leaving some 1,200 people dead and hundreds taken hostage.

The protests appear to have the tacit endorsement of Colombian far-left President Gustavo Petro, who shared footage of the “peaceful” protests in Bogotá on his official social media account, suggesting that “there should be millions of them across the country.”

During the first hours of the protest in Medellín, protesters wearing Palestinian keffiyehs and Hamas paraphernalia such as masks and headbands burned a cardboard cutout of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the Israeli and U.S. flags. Protesters yelled slurs and chanted slogans against Israel and the United States while the cardboard burned. The newspaper El Tiempo reported that protesters also burned a cardboard cutout of President Donald Trump.

What’s left of Hamas must be laughing their asses off at the goofy people around the world rioting for them.
