There is no way to win a war when nuclear weapons are involved. Winning a war means a terrible loss to humanity, a failure as a society. We haven't gotten that. We keep fantasizing about winning a war...
The pursuit of peace is the most essential of all human endeavours.
Peace can achieve wonders that wars never will.
Wars destroy.
Peace builds.
In today’s troubled world, building peace is a conscious, bold & even radical act.
It's humanity’s greatest responsibility.
The war in the Middle East is having a staggering and unacceptable number of civilian casualties, including women and children, every day.
This must stop.
I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
I am deeply disturbed by the horrible situation and dramatic loss of life in several hospitals in Gaza.
In the name of humanity, I call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire.
Hoy la bandera de la ONU 🇺🇳 ondea a media asta en #Colombia en honor de los 101 trabajadores de la agencia para los refugiados palestinos, @UNRWA, que han muerto en #Gaza desde el 7 de octubre.
Población civil y los trabajadores humanitarios #NoSonUnObjetivo.
Today, the @UN family observed a moment of silence to mourn & honour our colleagues killed in Gaza.
Since the start of this conflict, more than 100 @UNRWA staff have lost their lives - the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in such a short time.
They will never be forgotten.
Polarization and dehumanization are being fueled by a tsunami of disinformation.
We must stand up to the forces of antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry and all forms of hate.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is horrific.
I renew my appeals for a humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages.
All those with influence must exert it to ensure respect for the rules of war, end the suffering and avoid a spillover of the conflict.
I just ran an experiment on Chat GPT-4. First prompt: You are an executive MBA student. Write a course evaluation report (one paragraph) for a female professor of entrepreneurship.
Me alegra mucho esta decisión del gobierno nacional. Optar por el cuidado y no por la muerte. Optar por lo trabajoso, que conserva la vida, y no por lo fácil. Optar por el conocimiento y la convivencia. Buscar el amor.
Gracias.
Se puede todo esto al tiempo:
1. Condenar las acciones genocidas de Benjamín Netanyahu y el terrorismo de Hamás.
2. Entender que Netanyahu no representa a todos los judíos, ni Hamás a todos los palestinos.
3. Rechazar discursos antisemitas e islamofóbicos.
Se quejan de 1 año de gobierno de izquierda como si los 200 anteriores en manos de la derecha hubieran sido el cielo en la tierra. Un poquito de sensatez, que ninguno en este país ha dado la talla, nunca. Ni de un lado, ni del otro.
Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas. But innocent Palestinians also have a right to life and security. I’m calling for a humanitarian pause by all parties so that critical aid can be delivered to the suffering people of Gaza and for the immediate release of all hostages.
El tema central de la política económica de Colombia debe ser hoy la reactivación de la economía. Sus elementos deben ser cuatro: 1) reducir tasas de interés; 2) utilizar activamente la inversión pública con este propósito, especialmente la política de vivienda; 3) lanzar una ambiciosa estrategia de exportaciones de bienes no tradicionales; y 4) dar claras señales de confianza.

My appeal today from the Middle East:
Immediate, unrestricted & sustained humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza.
Immediate & unconditional release of all hostages.
Immediate & dedicated efforts to prevent the spread of violence, which is increasing the risk of spillover.
I am horrified by the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in a strike on a hospital in Gaza today, which I strongly condemn. My heart is with the families of the victims. Hospitals and medical personnel are protected under international humanitarian law.
Civilians in Gaza desperately need core services and supplies.
We need rapid, unimpeded humanitarian access.
We need food, water, medicine and fuel now.
We need it at scale and we need it to be sustained.
