Chile recalls ambassador to Israel

Chile recalls ambassador to Israel

Chile's government is summoning its ambassador home from Tel Aviv for consultations and is condemning what it calls the worsening of Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

The foreign affairs ministry said Tuesday that Jorge Montero will return to Santiago soon.

The ministry says in a statement that Chile is "concerned and discouraged" by Israel's military operations and its "unleashing of a collective punishment on Gaza's Palestinian population."

I guess AIPAC doesn't have any branches down there. The US and Europe are terrified of standing up to the Israelis.
