In a series of statements that literally ignore the Hamas terrorism last month that killed 1,400 innocent civilian Israelis, including babies who were beheaded and whole families burned alive, nine leftist nations, so far, have announced they are cutting links to the Middle East democracy.

A report in the Hill said the nations withdrawing their ambassadors or otherwise cutting ties are South Africa, Turkey, Jordan, Colombia, Chad, Chile, Honduras, Bahrain and Bolivia,

The report said the nations were citing “humanitarian concerns” for their decisions, but they didn’t address the fact that there was a cease-fire in the region until Oct. 7 when Hamas terrorists, likely on drugs and carrying orders to commit atrocities, attacked innocent Israeli civilians, killing 1,400.

Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S.

Bolivia fully severed ties with Israel and the other eight withdrew their ambassadors.

The announcement by South Africa claimed disappointment in Israel’s “refusal” to follow international law even though it was targeted by the terrorists and has only responded in self-defense.

Jordan claimed the situation involved a “raging Israeli war on Gaza, which is killing innocent people…” and, called for a cease-fire, which was in place until Hamas terrorists broke it.

Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, claimed Israel was violating international law by defending itself.

“We will support formulas that will bring peace and calm to the region. We will not be supportive of plans that will further darken the lives of Palestinians, that will gradually erase them from the scene of history,” he claimed.

Chile, too, complained that Israel’s defense was a “punishment” of Palestinian civilians. In fact, Hamas routinely locates its military bases at or near civilian population centers and facilities like hospitals, so that its own population serves as a shield against military responses.

Israel, on the other hand, has issued warnings to civilian to evacuate certain areas before its military enters.

According to the Hill, Colombia and Chad insisted on a cease-fire now that Hamas already has successfully inflicted hundreds of deaths on Israel’s population.

And Honduras, Bahrain and Bolivia said they were cutting ties over “Israel’s actions in Gaza.”
