Colombian President Gustavo Petro has been accused of using antisemitic rhetoric, with critics saying he has rebranded old antisemitic tropes by replacing the word 'Jew' with 'Zionist.' Petro has been criticized for accusing Israel of controlling 'international financial capital' and silencing the global press. Many left-leaning parties in Latin America have been accused of promoting antisemitism by denying Jews' ties to the land of Israel and their right to a sovereign state. Experts say that left-wing antisemitism often hides under the guise of opposition to the State of Israel.
