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.”

At the Assembly, held in the so-called Palestine Plaza, in front of the Juárez Hemicycle, González López stated in an interview that “we continue to demand that our government break off all types of relations with Israel and that there be sanctions against Israel at a global level, through the different UN bodies, so that international resolutions against the genocide in Palestine can be complied with.
He added that, “although the deadly military offensive has ended, actions are still being carried out little by little. We don’t believe in this false plan by (Benjamin) Netanyahu and Trump. It’s a completely false narrative, which, precisely at a time when Israel was facing its greatest international isolation, is being done to prop up that government, to reoccupy Gaza, to recolonize Gaza, and to place it under the control of a foreign power.”
In the Assembly Declaration they called for “an end to violations of our collective human rights as peoples, no more impunity, stop the massacres and genocides, out with militarism and paramilitarism from our territories.”
As well as for a “no to Trump and Netanyahu’s recolonization plan against the Palestinian people; respect for their self-determination and sovereignty to decide on their territory.”
The document states that militarization is the imposition by force; it is the means used by the United States and NATO, among other allies, to impose their hegemony, prevent the free advancement of peoples, and contain social movements that resist these phenomena generated by war.
“Faced with a world plagued by injustices and exclusions, we continue to unite for its transformation and to become a world capable of recognizing human diversity and making life prevail over death and destruction.”
“We want to live in peace from Latin America to Palestine and all territories of the world; this means advancing in the construction of just societies, guided by solidarity, and full in their capacities to build themselves freely and sovereignly.”
They state that “Latin America and the Caribbean must remain a zone of peace, free of foreign military bases and nuclear weapons. Therefore, we express our rejection of the growing US military presence on our continent, which manifests itself in joint military exercises with the armies of our countries, through military agreements, US military bases, including the NAMRU-6 military base in Peru and Honduras, which conducts dangerous research on infectious diseases, and the illegal US base at Guantanamo.”
They also express their solidarity with the peoples and women of Palestine, Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and other nations, who day after day fight for the defense of their sovereignty and popular power in the face of threatening coups, blockades, sanctions or aggressions from the hegemonic centers of power.
