  • Been ongoing since the 2000s when Venezuelan people elected Hugo Chavez, a left-wing populist politician. He nationalized Venezuela’s oil industry and kicked the American oil extraction companies out so that Venezuela could sell their own oil and keep the money it generates. Since then the US has carried out an economic war on Venezuela with sanctions, embargoes, coup attempts and sporadic military action. This has resulted in extreme instability and poverty in Venezuela, and downstream of that it has increased government corruption and created a migrant crisis out of the country that has further exacerbated tensions between Venezuela and the US.





















  • A few facts to keep in mind in the coming weeks regarding this deal:

    • All of the “hostages” are really prisoners of war, everyone currently in Hamas captivity was an active duty IDF soldier captured from military bases in Israel or taken captive while in Gaza as they were committing genocide.

    • Hamas has offered to release all the hostages in exchange for a full ceasefire since October 11, 2023

    • Israel is an illegal genocidal apartheid regime that’s committed to annexing and ethnically cleansing all Palestinian land, and as such will likely try to scuttle this peace deal and blame Hamas.
