Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, a Marxist and long-time friend of Communist Cuba and who Ronald Reagan once described as a “little dictator,” criticized Israel’s actions against Hamas terrorists as genocidal and said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “appears to be possessed by the Devil” and “needs Pope Francis to exorcise it.”
“Prime Minister Netanyahu appears to be possessed by the Devil, he needs Pope Francis to exorcise it, to become appeased,” Ortega was quoted as saying on Aug. 1 in Globovision.
Ortega also said that Israel is “committing genocide” in Gaza, a crime so “terrible that it is only comparable to the crimes of the Nazis.”
“Why doesn’t anyone condemn or sanction the state of Israel?” said Ortega. Netanyahu’s actions mirror madness, he said, adding that the Israeli leader wants to “annihilate the Palestinian people.”
