Una amiga me dijo que todavía no pudo ver La Odisea pero que dentro de poco tiene un viaje largo en avión y seguro aproveche para verla durante el vuelo. Justo como Nolan hubiera querido.
🇮🇱 🇲🇽 Mexico bought more guns from Israel than from any other country last year, even as President Sheinbaum condemned genocide in Gaza.
Amid genocide in Gaza and Israel’s wider regional war, Mexico's government bought more firearms from Israel than from any other country in 2025, according to Mexico's report to the UN Arms Trade Treaty, in an analysis by Stop US Arms to Mexico published in NACLA.
The nearly 18,000 assault rifles, light machine guns, and pistols made up 37% of all firearms Mexico imported that year, more than triple its 2024 purchases and just ahead of the US. Most were bought by state police, as no federal policy in Mexico blocks the imports.
The reliance on foreign arms reflects a security bind: Mexico is fighting heavily armed cartels supplied largely by what analysts call the “iron river” of guns flowing south from the US, where an estimated 80% to 90% of firearms recovered in Mexico originate.
Still, the purchases highlight a contradiction in Sheinbaum's stance: her government has elevated Palestine's mission to embassy status and labeled Israel's actions "genocide" in September 2025, yet deepened its weapons ties with Israel.
