FROM CARIBBEAN TO GAZA

Caribbean civil society continues to organize for a Zone of Peace & against the U.S. militarization of the Caribbean region & extra judicial killings of 80 people! Caribbean people know, & SOUTHCOM has admitted, that this is about stealing oil & other natural resources from Venezuela & surrounding countries. False claims that Nicolas Maduro & Gustavo Petro are "narco-terrorists" are excuses to try to justify U.S. military presence.

The process of making the Caribbean and Latin America a Zone of Peace started in the 70's but was solidified in 2014. This was done to avoid Monroe Doctrine-like interventions from the west. But the U.S. has started to carry out Monroe Doctrine 2.0 interventions in the Caribbean, i.e. 20 airstrikes killing 80 people. Caribbean people who've seen the genocides in Palestine, Sudan & Congo don't want the Caribbean to become a war zone for western plunder.

The same F-35 jets equipped with GBU-32 missiles being used in Gaza are now in Borikén (PR) along with thousands of US troops experimenting & preparing for more illegal killings and an escalation against Venezuela.

USS Gerald Ford, turned off its radar last week, claiming that it's no longer coming to the Caribbean. Yet it arrived in Borikén with more troops & ships, it seems like the U.S. is prepaing to escalate actions.

We demand CARICOM take action to enforce a Zone of Peace, stop the killings & tell SOUTHCOM to get out of our region!
